Sun buys MySQL AB

Just saw on Sun’s CEO Jonathan Schwartz blogSun to acquire MySQL AB.

Sun is building for itself a strong image as a One Stop Shop Solution Provider, with complete Hardware, Software, Integration and Support. It has been doing it for a while, just not with Open Source and not at this level.

One question crossed my mind as soon as I saw the post: what happens to Sun’s support of PostgreSQL on Solaris ?

 Interesting times we live in…

PrintScreen: I’ve been aggregated :-)

This blog is now being aggregated by the PrintScreen Planet :-)

On to blogging then…

Blog moved to my FreeBSD box!

I had my blog hosted on a free hosting service but after some service unavailability periods, .htaccess being ignored which caused breakage to the permalink structure (tags, categories, feeds, etc) and lastly by receiving a mail stating that MySQL support was being disabled….well you get what you pay for…
It was time to move the blog so I decided to use a machine @home running my precious FreeBSD :)
More on this machine on some later posts.

hosting issues…

I’m having some hosting issues, so I’m installing a FreeBSD at home and will move this blog afterwards.Maybe I’ll write up some FreeBSD howtos in the process :)
