No, they haven’t really added true calculated indexes, but you can use triggers to get pretty close. Read my article about how to do it!

Wrong Audience?
Last night, Adrienne and I went to see War of the Worlds, which was pretty decent. What I really noticed, however, is that in the advertisements before the movie, there were two that caught my eye: “We’re Hiring” ads from Foundry Networks and eBay/Paypal. This had me confused. Is a theater, with all the high schoolers and such, really the best place to try to find the guy to design your next load balancer?
Isn’t there a better audience to be had? Even a single billboard, placed near the commute path to e.g. Juniper Networks would seem to be better focused. Adrienne says I “think too much”.
WordPress Upgrade
I’ve gone ahead and upgraded WordPress to version 1.5, which has lots of nice new features. I’m still working on the theme, so ignore the default blue header. No, my site won’t look like everyone else’s. :)
C++ Gone Wild
This summer, C++ gone wild. These are brilliant:
int Log_event::read_log_event(IO_CACHE* file, String* packet,
pthread_mutex_t* log_lock)
and
#ifndef MYSQL_CLIENT
Log_event* Log_event::read_log_event(IO_CACHE* file,
pthread_mutex_t* log_lock,
bool old_format)
#else
Log_event* Log_event::read_log_event(IO_CACHE* file, bool old_format)
#endif
and
Log_event* Log_event::read_log_event(const char* buf, int event_len,
const char **error, bool old_format)
Save me.
Awesome California Maps
I admit it, I’m kind of a map junkie. I love maps. So far, the best maps of California parks and such that I’ve found are Tom Harrison Maps. Really nice maps, with lat/long grids and UTM grids. Includes lots of 4WD trails and extra details, and printed on thin paper-like plastic that’s waterproof. Excellent.
