PDXPUG PgDay will be on July 20, 2008. This is a one-day conference happening the day before OSCON at the Oregon Convention Center.
We are inviting anyone […]
I gave a Lightning talk today about PostgreSQL User Groups. I wasn’t able to get through ALL my slides - but I only had to rush through the last three. (click on the cat below to download - 5MB)
Lightning talks are some of my favorite sessions. I got to announce the incorporation […]
I’m in Ottawa at PgCon and listening to Bruce Momjian give the keynote.
We have a few people who’ve joined Twitter in the last couple months and are posting their thoughts through the conference. Try following @crad, @fuzzychef, @franciscojunior and @selenamarie (me) for our up-to-the-minute updates!
I’ll be giving a lightning talk this afternoon around 5:30pm […]
Check out the slides from my ptop talk. I was very happy with the end result of the presentation. I had a few people talk to me about the project afterward, including the author of innotop, a perl-based monitoring tool for MySQL. I’m sure we can steal some ideas from that project!

Tomorrow I’ll post my thoughts on the second day of the conference, but for now I’d like to thank a few people who helped tremendously:
I just got home from the EnterpriseDB party at Jasper’s. What a fantastic day at the conference!
I attended most of Brent Friedman’s Java and PostgreSQL talk. I do a little Java hacking for a legacy app, so the sysadmin-ish details about installation and upgrading were useful as I look forward to upgrading.
I […]
I created a Flickr group for the conference and added a few pictures today.
The weather in Maryland is just like Portland this week! Kind of drizzly and overcast. The sun peeked out for a few minutes at sunset, and I had a nice walk around the University of Maryland at College […]
