Performance (Blog, not Devils)
Things in snowman-land are slow, and I’ve already opened a trouble ticket with the powers that be (or more correctly, the iPower that hosts this site). Looks like some database performance issues since they moved my web site to a new hosting farm. I’m learning plenty about mySQL, the database that holds all of the content, which provides a nice crossover between work and play: my employer, Sun Microsystems, is in the process of closing an acquisition for mySQL AB. Time to get smart both ways.
