In a Vortex
In a vortex. That's the only way to describe the past thirty days, during which we closed out our second quarter, and put together the transaction to acquire MySQL. How'd it all start?
"That'll never happen, I've been trying for years." That's what I told Rich Green (EVP, Software at Sun) about six months ago in response to his assertion, "if there were one company I'd love to acquire, it'd be MySQL. They're an amazing company." Why'd I say it was impossible?
For nearly five years, I've been getting together for dinner with Marten Mickos, MySQL's CEO, catching up on the industry, chatting about trends and business models, and just as the dessert was about to be served... I'd say, "geez, we have so much in common, Marten, we see the world so similarly, what would you think about becoming a part of Sun?"
At which point Marten would say he was flattered and honored, pour some milk into his coffee, stir, and start talking about Finland.

Jazzed about MySQL
I'm at the MySQL company meeting where we've just announced that Sun is aquiring MySQL. Everyone from Sun is excited, and everyone from MySQL that I've talked to so far is excited too. There are a lot of interesting things that we can do together. It's amazing how well the companies fit each other. Similar cultures, goals and markets.

Ruby Screenshot of the Week #27: Task List
I've posted a number of blog entries showing NetBeans quickfixes for Ruby. This helps you detect problems in code you happen to be working on, since it shows a yellow rather than green file status if there are warnings in the file. (The file status is shown on the right hand side of the editor pane, next to the vertical scrollbar).
Unfortunately, this doesn't give you an easy way to audit your code. If you want to find all potential problems in your code, you'd have to open each and every file and look for yellow editor annotations... Not a tempting task for projects with hundreds of source files.

ZFS Automatic Snapshots 0.10
I've got a new version of the ZFS Automatic Snapshot SMF Service finished.
This release contains two bugfixes, one pointed out by Reid Spencer, and the other from Breandan Dezendorf - thanks for the bugs guys, much appreciated!
There's also a small new feature in this release, suggested on the zfs-discuss mailing list by Eric Kustarz. That is, that the service should avoid taking snapshots when zpool resilvering or scrubbing is happening.
I'm hoping this feature is only a temporary requirement - but 6343667 has more detail.
