On my way to UC2006

Ok, this is my highest post so far: I am on the way to the UC 2006 and I am posting this using in-flight internet from 30,000ft height. The connection is not too bad. Ping times look like this:

kris@linux:~> ping -c 3 193.98.110.1

That's not too bad, I believe.

MySQL is not only providing flickr with their database, we are contributing a number of images as well. :)

Here is my little list of MySQLers on flickr. If you have more, please leave the URL in the comments.

Doing the certification dance

kris@koehntopp.de (Kristian Köhntopp) — Sat, 26 Nov 2005 11:26:19 +0100

As reported earlier I have been taking the MySQL core and pro exams. This morning I found two letters from Denmark in my mail, wherein The Company deemed me fit and bestowed upon me the vast powers of the Certified MySQL Professional.

My certification IDs are 73899 and 74024 and the password is "public".

MySQL certification - the experience

I can tell you about the Guide, and the Test, though.

Although I will join MySQL not before November, 1st, I managed to attend the MySQL Consulting Bootcamp 2005 in Munich. The meeting started last Monday, September, 5th, with all members of the new EMEA consulting team seeing each other for the first time and lasted a week.

My personal blog has Images of the team and Hofbrauhaus Impressions.
