valorie:-)21:06
bkerensavalorie: Finn is coming... I insisted he go21:26
bkerensa:P21:26
seattlegauchoIf I haven't been abused by my co-workers the rest of the day ... I'll go22:03
seattlegauchoit'll give me a good excuse to ride the light rail back and forth22:03
seattlegaucho... anb BTW, we're desperately looking for an experienced MySQL DBA in Seattle ... pls pass the word along to your network22:04
valorieseattlegaucho: your folks should send an email to the Linuxchix job-posting22:10
valorielist22:10
valoriehttp://www.linuxchix.org/jobposts-list-guidelines.html22:11
valoriethey don't have to sub -- just follow the guidelines and send the email22:11
valorieor you can do it22:11
valorieI'm one of the admins22:12
valorieand yay for Finn!22:13
valorieI can give him a ride home after, if he needs/wants it22:13
seattlegauchovalorie: thx for the URL ... I asked our recruiter to post the job there22:24
valorieawesome!22:27
valorieI think the economy is picking up a bit -- there have been some actual job postings lately22:28
seattlegauchoI never ever saw a slow down reg mysql dbas22:37
bkerensaI could never do a mysql dbas job22:38
seattlegauchovalorie: If I go tonight ... can you give me a ride back to the light rail by the airport?22:38
bkerensato focused one such simple stuff 22:38
bkerensa:D22:38
seattlegauchobkerensa: then you don't have the skills we look for :p22:38
bkerensanever understood why companies hired Mysql dbas versus a full sysadmin22:38
seattlegauchoOh my ... I might need to go tonight to the party after all22:39
bkerensaseattlegaucho: ;) I could do circles around any mysql scenario... I just don't want a 9 to 5 ;) I turn down freelance projects every single month :P22:39
bkerensaSomeone just last week offered to pay me $100 to install Open EMR which takes like 10 mins tops :P and I passed on it22:41
bkerensa;)22:41
seattlegauchofor our number of servers, any sysadmin would spend all their time doing mysql chores and r&d ... so they wouldn't be a sys admin anymore22:41
seattlegaucho... and then you factor in high availability, backups and monitoring ... and a DBAs job is never done22:42
seattlegaucho... which goes beyond simple replication and linux ha22:42
bkerensaseattlegaucho: Why not automate the mysql work flow with puppet or another solution?22:43
seattlegauchonever mind performance enhancements (80% of the time beyond a sysadmins skill set), db design, sharding, etc22:43
seattlegauchobkerensa: we use puppet and a number of other skills ... but there's way more to it that puppet can't handle22:44
seattlegauchos/skills/tools/22:44
bkerensaseattlegaucho: You guys use Workbench too I imagine?22:44
seattlegauchonope ... it's too immature22:44
seattlegauchobkerensa: for full disclosure I should mention that I used to work @ MySQL since we were < 50 people through the Sun acquisition ;)22:45
bkerensaseattleguacho: Yeah and Oracle uses Workbench in-house atleast thats what the MySQL/Oracle Community Manager told me22:46
bkerensa:P22:46
seattlegauchoyeah right ... I know them all by name and the only reason they do is because they tip-toe around the bugs22:46
seattlegauchoyou have to define all the connections parameters by hand ... ssh & mysql ... try that w/ 200+ servers22:47
valoriedefinitely -- I'm taking off in a few so I can get the room set up and such22:47
seattlegauchobash is your friend in those cases22:47
valoriemy phone # is 253-740-2725 if you need to text22:47
MJEvansOh it's tonight?  I forgot, I don't hve anything ready x.x22:47
seattlegaucho"apt-get dist-upgrade" is not possible yet ... my upgrade will have wait22:48
valorieMJEvans: I'm not going to burn anymore CD/DVDs -- just thumbdrives22:49
valorieI have ones from a couple of days ago though22:49
bkerensavalorie: Yeah I'm looking into finding some 2gb flash drives then reaching out to one of our loco's sponsors to get some made/bought/shipped22:49
MJEvansThe launch party also isn't dinner this time...22:49
bkerensaGoing forward each member will get a USB and we can just throw the new image one22:50
MJEvansWhich is less incentive for me to go22:50
bkerensabut Kingston also gave me a 64GB dual band wifi storage thingy that I store ISO's on and then members can connect wirelessly and download whatever they need22:50
valoriewell, we can order in pizza22:51
