Corylus Avellana is alsoknown as hazel and is an upright tree-like deciduous shrub with heart-shaped green leaves that turn orange-gold in autumn.From late winter to early spring it bears yellow catkins and then goes on to produce edible hazelnuts in autumn. Corylus Avellana is ideal for most hedging, but particularly suitable for country hedging. It can tolerate most soils as long as they are moist, but does not like acid conditions and prefers full sun, although it does not mind some shade.

Advice for flight with 18 mo old
I'm going on a flight tomorrow at 6:15pm with my 18mo old, it's only an hour and a half, but the last time I flew with her she was so young I could just feed her a bottle at the beginning and she would sleep through the rest of the flight. This time I'm more worried because she is so curious, and energetic all the time, I'm not sure what to do to keep her calm on the flight. Also i'm flying by myself, and she's riding as a lap child. please help! I need all the help I can get!

Road to the 2015 FFA Cup Final: Perth Glory
Perth Glory went out and qualified for back-to-back FFA Cup Finals but can they go one better and win it this Saturday? We take a look back at their road to AAMI Park.
Round of 32: Newcastle Jets 2-2 a.e.t Perth Glory (3-4 on penalties)
Glory's first game of the campaign was a difficult one after having to rely on penalties to get past fellow A-League side the Newcastle Jets. David Carney's first-half goal had Perth on the brink of elimination but a late goal from Sidnei sent the game into extra-time. Nebojsa Marikovic put Glory ahead at the start of the extra 30 minutes but Labinot Haliti's goal with five minutes left to play meant the game would be decided by penalties. Jets' goal-scorers Carney and Haliti missed their spot-kicks as Glory ran out 4-3 winners.
Round of 16: Queensland Lions 0-1 Perth Glory
NPL outfit the Queensland Lions provided stiff competition for the Glory, with the club having to rely on an extra-time goal after the scores were locked at 0-0 at the end of the 90 minutes. Chris Harold was the saviour for the Western Australian side, scoring with four minutes left to save the club from the nerves of a consecutive penalty shoot-out.
Road to the 2015 FFA Cup Final: Melbourne Victory
Quarter-Finals: Perth Glory 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers
Another game, another 120 minutes. A second-half strike from Marinkovic cancelled out Dimas Delgado's opener as the Wanderers and Glory had to go to extra-time. There was no change of score at the end of the added 30 minutes and penalties would decide Perth's fate for a second time in three games. Scott Jamieson and Federico Piovaccari missed for the Wanderers and Glory converted all four of their spot-kicks to advance to the semi-finals.
Semi-Finals: Perth Glory 3-1 Melbourne City
Another game, another A-League opponent! This time Perth welcomed Melbourne City out West to decide who would qualify for the 2015 final. Gyorgy Sandor opened the scoring for Perth but a debut goal from City defender Matthew Millar brought the game level. It appeared the scores would be locked at 1-1 heading into half-time but an own-goal from Ben Garuccio right at the end of the first period saw Glory take the lead into the sheds. It was all Perth second-half and a fine strike from Chris Harold wrapped up the game with 18 minutes to play.

BELCHERTOWN, Mass., Jan. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- From new author Josh Sanofsky, the first book of The Kinnear Chronicles: Family Ties...
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140113/MN44734)
For Alys Kinnear, becoming a wizard was her life's ambition, but it's an ambition that might just cost her her life. Does a country girl from éire have what it takes to handle the dangerous and inglorious realities that come with being a practitioner in the magic-infused modern day city of London?
She quickly finds herself confronted by street thugs trying to steal her new employer's property and a client whose home turns out to be a former asylum filled with the angry ghosts of former patients. With her new Familiars, a pair of snow leopards she rescued from an unscrupulous shop owner, Alys must overcome these and the more mundane day-to-day difficulties of studying to become a full-fledged Wizard.
Because before she expects it, she'll find herself tested in ways she never imagined.

Leading criminal lawyer and special government counsel in the 26/11-terrorist attack case, Ujjwal Nikam, will represent India at a global convention on terrorism held at the United Nations in New York from December 1.
Legal experts from 25 countries, including Pakistan, will participate in the three-day conference organised by the security council of UN.
After realising terrorism as the main threat to the world, the United Nations decided to fight the menace from all the corners.
A consensus arrived between nations that terrorism should not only be fought on the war ground but also dealt with sternly to bring terrorists to justice through appropriate legal systems, they said.
The security council of UN then decided to bring legal experts from various countries to share their experiences and vision to bring terrorists to justice, the officials said.
Nikam left for New York on Saturday night. Nikam, who was instrumental in securing the death penalty for 26/11 convict Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, will throw light in his address at UN on how to fight terrorism.
The main thrust of the conference will be on problems, which various countries are facing to bring the terrorists to justice and what are the governed provisions against terrorism in the legal systems of different nations.
As an end objective, certain recommendations to all countries will be drawn so that a uniform approach can be taken to fight terrorism, they added.
Nikam, who has been special public prosecutor in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, 2003 twin blasts case [at the Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar], is the only lawyer who has been given the opportunity to represent India at an international conference where policy decision will be taken by UN to tackle terrorism.

Here's a very simple question to ponder with full stomachs after our Thanksgiving meal: is the real problem afflicting our political system a lack of so-called "bipartisanship" or is it actually too much bipartisanship?
I ask this question honestly, because it seems to me that congressional Democrats believe that, above all, their mandate is to be more "bipartisan." Out of all the messages coming from them and the professisonal political elite in Washington (the Serious People as many call them), the call for more "bipartisanship" seems the most crisp. Summing up this call from other Democrats quite succinctly, Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi said, "The American people voted for a new direction to restore stability and bipartisanship to Washington, D.C."
I'll admit, that feels soothing for a few minutes. Yes, yes, wouldn't we all like to go back to that era that actually never occurred to frolick happily through the fields of bipartisanship that never existed. But like the cheap massage chairs you can test out at the mall, the soothing quickly becomes a painful digging and scratching, which is why you don't buy the chair, why we shouldn't buy all this rhetoric about a need for more "bipartisanship," and why only a fool whose brain has rotted from Potomac Fever would actually believe that a country under severe economic distress in a neverending quagmire in Iraq walked into the ballot box and voted primarily on a desire to see Mitch McConnell hug Harry Reid.
Anyone who spends 5 minutes around the halls of power in the nation's capital knows that Washington is dominated by one party: The Money Party, and that the People Party is far outnumbered - even after this election. Look no further than votes on the bankruptcy bill, the energy bill, the class action bill, China PNTR and NAFTA to figure out which politicans who call themselves Republicans and Democrats actually belong to the Money Party and which politicians actually belong to the People Party. The Establishment pretends this paradigm doesn't exist - they need the drama of Democrats vs. Republicans to sell newspapers, and more importantly, hiding the existence of the real power equation is in the interest of all the major for-profit corporations that own the media.
Let's also be honest - this Kabuki Theater is sometimes reinforced by the Netroots and by self-described "progressive" institutions in Washington. There are various reasons for this. Sometimes its just easier to pretend that life is a cartoonish struggle between Blue and Red, with Blue always being Moral and Just, and Red always being Evil. Other times, it is a matter of financial pressures - some of the self-anointed progressive leaders and institutions in Washington are actually very much a part of the Money Party, both in terms of thier funding and their ideology.
What this election really was was a surge for the People Party, because so many candidates were elected on anti-Money Party themes (opposition to pay-to-play corruption, opposition to lobbyist-written trade pacts, etc.). This explains why in the election's aftermath we hear such repetitive calls for "bipartisanship": they are really repetitive and not-so-hidden attempts to make sure the Money Party that includes both Republicans and Democrats remains dominant and that the election's mandate is ignored. The thing they really do not want is for the People Party to assert itself against the Money Party.
I hope when Pelosi and other Democrats talk about "bipartisanship" they understand the real partisan divide in Washington, and will use their power to build coalitions of Republicans and Democrats to push the People Party's agenda. Because doing the opposite - solidifying coalitions of Republicans and Democrats to continue pushing the Money Party's agenda - is not the "bipartisanship" this country wants or deserves.
To paraphrase Barry Goldwater, I would remind progressives that partisanship in the defense of regular people is no vice, and Washington's faux bipartisanship in the pursuit of selling out is no virtue.

Maple Syrup as a Travel Gift
When travelling or on vacation,.many people like to bring little gifts from home to give to the people they meet. For many people, pure maple syrup is a perfect Nova Scotian or Canadian gift to bring. With maple syrup in 100ml or 50ml bottles, you don't have to worry about taking up too much space or weight in your luggage, and you could even put them in your carry-on bag. Some of our customers even use them as a tip for the waiters and waitresses or housekeepers. Especially in Southern countries, pure maple syrup can be very hard to find so it is always very appreciated.
Maple syrup is also a very unique gift to give to your host if you are staying at someone's house. It is a gift that is delicious as well as useful. Next time you travel, don't forget your maple syrup!

Christmas lights reviewWe're lucky in London because we always have plenty of Christmas lights up for six weeks at least. We're those nutty neighbours who tack up three bazillion bulbs to the front of their house and plant an army of plastic Santas on their lawn. Every lamppost has some fairy lights on it. Every taxi wraps a balding bit of tinsel around their aerial. And even the beggars get into the seasonal spirit by scrawling Ho Ho Ho on their cardboard 'give me some money' signs. I'm standing down Oxford Street at the moment and the place is cross-crossed with strings of six-foot snowballs. Lots of cherry-sized silver spots too, and electric icicles hanging off the trees like frozen bolts of blue. They've even got some fake snow blowing out the top of HMV. I let some land on me (just to see what it was), and it seems like soapy bubbles. Have you ever seen that Christmas Lampoons movie with Chevy Chase, where he blankets his house in a billion bulbs? Well, come down to Oxford Street in December and find the House of Fraser, John Lewis and Selfridges, because there must be a bazillion lights on those three shops alone. It's as if they've crumbled up the sun and dusted it down the street. They're so bright and white they're giving me sparkles in my eyes when I shut them. Regent Street has become a bit too commercial in recent years, with giant lighted adverts for the latest movie, but they've decided on something a bit more traditional this year: wireframe angels with flapping white wings. Carnaby Street has gone for some giant headphones, all wrapped in fur from Santa's suit. I guess they must be harping back to their Swinging Sixties hey-day. Oh Christ... you're going to have to bear with me for five minutes whilst I temporarily take cover under a bus stop -- the rain is really coming down now. It's quite nice sitting here with a waterfall of rain cascading over the top. Every time an umbrella comes past we hear the storm water battering the plastic and the splish splash splosh of fast feet in the flood. This is real winter weather all of a sudden. It's chucking it down. Bucketing down. Proper rain is when you can see your face in the pavement. That's the stage we're at right now... the sidewalk slabs have turned into dark glass and are reflecting everything like a pin-sharp mirror. It's the kind of wind and rain that makes your umbrella turn inside out. I'm going to risk getting soaked otherwise I'll be sitting here all day. I'm zipping between one shop awning and another and it's like I'm coming under enemy fire... I have to get to the next trench before the clouds reload. It's a war-zone! I'm watching the lamplights turn into starbursts as they refract through the rain... watching the Christmas lights get golden as the sky turns black. I think the nicest lights are the ones outside Somerset House. If you go inside the courtyard then you'll find the prettiest tree in the city standing at one end of their outdoor ice-rink, all wound around in strings of winking lights. Now that is a pretty scene (if you only see one tree in London then make it this one)... people are whizzing around the ice with their breath clouding out because it's so damn cold. They always have a little cafe overlooking the rink as well, selling hot chocolate and coffee and mulled wine (proper mulled wine with sticks and twigs and berries inside). It's a really nice place to visit even if you can't be bothered to step on the ice. It's usually packed full of mums and grandmothers who are too scared to skate, pressing their noses up against the misty window to make sure their kids are still standing on their feet. Covent Garden has the second-best tree in town -- even bigger than the one at Somerset House. It must be forty or fifty-feet at least, with cherry red lights and bright white buttons, sitting in a big wooden pot that is bigger than a boat. The market hall roof is groaning under the weight of baubles fifteen feet across (no joke!), plus jungle-sized sprigs of mistletoe, all mirrored up in bright reds, whites and gold. Have a walk across Waterloo Bridge and then check out the festive market on Southbank. Most of it has moved into the big grassy area this year (it usually runs along the river between the London Eye and Royal Festival Hall). This is where they have all of the festive huts and Swiss-style chalets selling hot sausages and Bavarian beer. They've got burgers and steaks and pancakes, too -- it's worth walking around just for the smells! There's nothing like the aroma of fairground food on a cold night with Christmas lights. They've got one of those funfair carousels pumping out some Wurlitzer tunes as the horses bounce around and up and down. Do you fancy going on a Christmas tree hunt? There's a lovely one in Waterloo Place this year (Waterloo Place is nowhere near Waterloo -- it's by the Duke of York's Column). They've got another big one outside Kensington Palace and a rather lonely one in the middle of the moat at the Tower of London. The one standing outside the Royal Exchange is definitely worth a detour, and they usually have a beauty outside the Dickens Inn in St. Katharine Docks as well, but I must be too early this year because they haven't stuck it up yet. But the best of the bunch is definitely in the middle of Leadenhall Market. If you only see one tree this year then make it that one. It looks like something from a Victorian Christmas card. I like all the trees you can see inside train station ticket halls as well... the lonely little ones that have been dumped in the middle of a packed-out concourse. There's one at Charing Cross that looks like a lost kid with his hands in his pockets. They've wrapped a thin string of cheapo white lights wrapped around him like a jumble sale scarf, and he's standing in a plastic pot like he's sitting on his suitcases. Lots of people are just staring up at the departure boards in a trance, waiting for it to flick over. When's my train coming? Maybe if I stare at this board for ten minutes it will come along quicker, they are thinking. There must be a hundred people at least, all looking up into the hypnotic orange glare of the departure board, waiting for their magic carriage to come. Here comes some entertainment at last... a little choir of carol singers has begun to gather around the Christmas tree wearing Santa hats and a jolly fat conductor is waving his baton around like it actually means something. A quick few verses of Silent Night and here come the buckets of money: we sing, you pay, they say -- we don't do this for free. Empty all your wallets, come on, Happy Christmas! A few of the commuters take their eyes off of the departure board for a few seconds to see what's going on, but the rest stay glued to it. They don't want to miss their train. It will take more than a few Christmas songs to break their concentration. Have you been here?

Shortly after I posted my last summary of MySQL releases, our son Mats was born and I went on a 2.5-week vacation. Our developers did not rest in the meanwhile and I'd like to give you a quick update of what's new since then:
MySQL Connector/Net 6.3.0
MySQL Workbench 5.2.16 Beta 6
MySQL Server 5.1.44
MySQL Server 5.5.2 Milestone 2
Please note that the MySQL downloads section has been split into two parts. As usual, you will find downloads of both GA and development versions of all MySQL products and releases on the MySQL DevZone. In addition to that, we've now added a pointer to the downloads of officially released (GA) versions to the main web site on http://www.mysql.com/downloads/.
It's almost two weeks now since FrOSCon and the OpenSQL Camp subconference have taken place in Sankt Augustin, Germany — about time for a summary and update from my side!
First off, I would like to thank all of the participants and supporters, particularly my colleagues Regina Steyer and Iris Musiol for the perfect logistics and co-sponsoring as well as Uli Graef, Thorsten Frueauf, Matthias Schmidt, Alexander Rubin and Joerg Moellenkamp for manning the Sun booth and the help on site.
Another big Thank You goes out to my team mates Giuseppe and Colin as well as to Sheeri K. Cabral, who were a big help in keeping the OpenSQL Camp on track and by supporting the event by giving talks. In addition to that, Sheeri recorded most of the OpenSQL Camp sessions on video and published them in record time!
So here's a quick summary of both events from my side, starting with the main conference.
Sun was a Gold sponsor of the event and we had a booth right at the main entrance area; it could hardly be missed. It consisted of two large and two small desks as well as a divider behind them. For demos, we had a (slightly noisy) Sun Fire X2200 M2 Server and four SunRay 2 Thin Clients (which by themselves triggered a lot of questions and curiosity by many visitors). The booth was flanked by rollup-banners on both sides as well as various posters attached to the divider. Here's a picture of our booth before the event opened: We demoed Open Solaris, Open HA Cluster, NetBeans/Java and MySQL. We also had a lot of brochures about various products, OpenSolaris 2009.06 Live-CDs incl. booklets as well as some MySQL-T-Shirts to hand out. We distributed over 300 CDs and received a lot of positive feedback about the distribution.
We also had a number of talks in the main conference track (both German and English):
The comments and ratings of these sessions were generally very positive. Our booth was well attended, especially during the session breaks. In total, there were over 1.400 visitors at the conference over the two days.
I personally did not attend many sessions in the main conference tracks, as I was too occupied with the OpenSQL Camp and the booth organization. However, I managed to listen to Uli Graef's talk, which was a very technical and interesting session about ZFS features and internals. Being a big fan of ZFS myself, this was a very worthwhile session to be at and my impression was that it encouraged others to take a closer look at this truly amazing file system.
The second talk I attended was Sunday's keynote by Dries Buytaert from the Drupal project about "The Secrets of Building and Participating in Open Source Communities". Dries is a great speaker with visually stunning slides. He is funny, too — if you have a moment, you should watch the video recording of his keynote. An uncut "pre-release" version of his talk is already available as an OGG Video file.
As for previous FrOSCons (is that the proper plural?), there was a social event scheduled for Saturday evening, providing barbecue (Steaks and Sausages as well as vegetarian dishes) and drinks. This event usually takes place outside and is always an excellent opportunity for networking and talking with key people from other OSS communities and projects. And there was plenty of time for talking - the queues for the grilled food were long...
Here is a list of other blogs and articles about FrOSCon that are worth a read (in no particular order and both German and English):
OpenSQL Camp, European Edition
In addition to the main conference tracks, FrOSCon also provided a number of so-called "Developer Rooms" to OSS projects, so that they could organize sub-conferences or hackfests of their own. We applied for a room to set up a conference dubbed "OpenSQL Camp", related to the topic of Open Source databases, which was approved.
We then sent out a call for papers and invited people from the many OSS database communities to join us and talk about their projects. Every session proposal was published on the OpenSQL Camp web site and people were able to vote on the sessions they were most interested in via email or twitter:
The organization and scheduling of the talks and speakers was done via the FrOSCon conference system (Pentabarf), which made it very easy to perform this task and also made sure that the OpenSQL Camp sessions were included in the main conference program. Below is a full list of sessions at our subconference (see the FrOSCon Program page for abstracts, speaker info, links and slides). We had two cancellations by speakers on short notice, but were able to cover the gaps with ad-hoc presentations. I'd like to send a special thanks to Geert Vanderkelen, who gave a great presentation about MySQL Cluster despite the very short notice and some technical difficulties at the beginning!
Most talks attracted between 20-50 attendees and we had a great mix of topics from several different database projects (with a slight majority of MySQL-related talks). The Panel Discussion (moderated by me), called the "OSS Toolshed Shootout" went quite well and the speakers had a good time answering questions on various topics about their projects. Thanks again to all OpenSQL Camp speakers for making this event a success!
All in all I think that both FrOSCon and OpenSQL Camp were well worth supporting and attending - we were able to provide insight and trigger some interesting discussions among the OSS enthusiasts and developers in the audience. It was also a good opportunity in get in touch with many people of other OSS communities, fostering the MySQL (and other Sun OSS projects) ecosystem.
Here is a Flickr slide show of my own pictures - more photos can be found in the FrOSCon Gallery and the links page on the Wiki.
I personally look forward to next year's FrOSCon - a Big Thanks to the organizers for another great event!
I just realized that I haven't blogged for more than a month! Shame on me. But I will blame it on being away on conferences and vacation for quite some time And if you are following me on twitter, you may have noticed what I was going on in my life and that I did't get hit by a bus...
So what was going on since I returned back home from the MySQL Conference? First off, I uploaded und sorted my pictures from the conference and the Drizzle developer day on Flickr. I also uploaded the slides (PDF) from Colin and myself speaking about "MySQL Server Backup, Restoration, and Disaster Recovery Planning" to the MySQL Conference site and they are now available for download from the session page.
On May 4th and 5th I attended the amoocon in Rostock, Germany - a conference primarily about Open Source Telephony and VoIP, where I gave two talks (in German) about MySQL HA Solutions and MySQL Backup and Security Best Practices. There were several other MySQL-related sessions at this conference (e.g. Geert speaking about MySQL Cluster) and I was quite impressed to learn about how widely used it is in the VoIP/Telephony sector. The PDFs of my slides for both talks are available from the conference web site as well as on my slidespace on SlideShare (a very convenient service that I recently started using). There even is an MP3 and video recording of the HA talk, which is also linked from the session page mentioned above.
Right after the amoocon, I attended the next09 conference, which took place in Hamburg, Germany. On the first day I helped manning the Sun booth for some time (Sun Startup Essentials Germany was a sponsor of the event) and listened to some talks, on Wednesday I gave a presentation about "Working for a Virtual Company: How do we do it at MySQL?". A video recording of my talk is available from sevenload. Last time I checked the video was truncated, but I hope they will publish a complete version of it soon. Unfortunately I had a very bad speaking slot - the very first one in the morning (9:00am), after there was a party/social event going on the night before... But luckily there still were ~20-30 people in the audience. This was the first time that I gave this presentation and talked about something less technical, which was actually quite fun! As for the other recent talks, the slides are on SlideShare.
From May 14th to the 16th I was in Verona, Italy to speak about MySQL Backup and Security and bzr - The Bazaar source revision control system at the Italian phpDay. This was quite a nice event with ~150 attendees and Rasmus Lerdorf giving two talks as well. However, many of the sessions were in Italian, so I decided to spend some time walking around the city and taking lots of pictures. I also took a number pictures from the conference, but the light was pretty dim in the room and many shots turned out to be too blurry. Next year they plan to have the phpDay in Rimini - I definitely plan to be there!
We've now concluded our call for papers for the MySQL Developer Room at FOSDEM 2009 in Brussels, Belgium, which will be open on Sunday, 8th of February from 09:00-17:00.
We received some excellent proposals and I am very excited about the schedule. Here's the quick summary of the talks:
See the Schedule page on the MySQL Forge for the detailed agenda, including the detailed session abstracts and speaker bios. These talks will soon appear in the general FOSDEM schedule, too. If you are interested in MySQL and any of the topics above, consider visiting us in Room AW1.126! Participation and attendance is totally free, though the organizers happily accept donations and sponsorships.
In addition to the Developer Room, MySQL will share a project desk with the OpenSolaris community. We are still looking for at least one more volunteer that would help us with manning the desk! If you are interested in helping out (2 hours at a minimum), please drop me a line!
FOSDEM 2009, one of the biggest European Open Source conferences, will take place on February 7-8 in Brussels, Belgium. Today I received a confirmation from the organizers: MySQL will have a developer room on Sunday, the 8th! This is very cool.
My idea was to organize some kind of MySQL mini-conference, with a focus on developers and DBAs. I am going to send out a more formal CfP soon, but if you have any ideas or suggestions for a talks/sessions already, please get in touch with me!
In addition to the devroom, I have also been invited to give a talk about MySQL High Availability solutions in the conference main track. In this talk I plan to cover some commonly used HA setups for MySQL, including the OSS components/tools (for Linux and OpenSolaris) involved. I will mention MySQL Cluster as well, explaining the relationship and architecture of MySQL Server and NDB Cluster. I hope this will be of interest to the audience.
I also submitted two lightning talk proposals: "New features in MySQL 5.1" and one about "Why you should use Bazaar for maintaining your OSS project", but I won't know if these were accepted until the end of December...
See you there!
Thankfully my RSS reader has builtin-search capability, so I can quickly skim the full RSS feed from blogs.sun.com for keywords of interest. I found the following articles quite helpful:
If you are would like to learn more on how to develop on NetBeans with using a MySQL Server and how to create web apps that use MySQL as a backend, take a look at these two tutorials:
Over on the Novell Cool Solutions pages (which are powered by Drupal, by the way), I found this introduction on how to set up MySQL replication by Damian Myerscough. It walks you through the steps involved in setting up a classical master-slave replication setup.
I made it to the US safely, even though I almost missed my connecting flight in Heathrow (even my luggage made it, hooray!). I reached the Hotel just in time to directly head off to the traditional pre-conference party at Mårten's house. However, we just stayed there shortly (barely long enough to say hi to everybody) and then headed to the MySQL pre-conference dinner (organized by Arjen). It was nice meeting such a large number of the key MySQL community people in one place! I was especially surprised about the presence of Jonathan Schwartz and Rich Green - this added a nice touch!
Today I am attending Stewart's tutorial session about MySQL Cluster. So far it has been quite entertaining and informative! We'll continue with hands-on excercises on setting up a cluster configuration on the attendees' laptops after the lunch break.
I have uploaded pictures from yesterday and this morning to my foto set on flickr (which I will also post to the MySQL Conference 08 Flickr group) and will try to continue doing so for the rest of the conference. Enjoy!
I personally will also mention MySQL Cluster during my talk about High Availability Solutions with MySQL that I will give at the Fachhochschule Oldenburg/Ostfriesland/Wilhelmshaven tomorrow.
