19:17.01eggyknapwas asking :)
19:18.07fungusyes, it is.  I just realized I have other plans tomorrow night.  Already got tickets a month ago.
19:18.29eggyknapDurn it :)
19:18.41fungusyeah, totally sucks.
19:18.45eggyknapconsiders downloading sqllite and getting used to it... quickly
19:18.47eggyknap:)
19:19.08fungusit's called lite for a reason.  ;)
19:19.14eggyknapI haven't heard anything from the SLLUG folks.
19:19.16eggyknapGood point *grin*
19:58.48unumman today has been horrible
19:58.57unummy backups haven't been working for over a week
19:59.06unumI don't know why the bzip file is corrupted
19:59.18unumwe have some faulty hardware that keeps screwing up my stuff
19:59.29unumI've spent all morning trying to salvage what I can
20:00.58eggyknapleft work and went home to find a computer that actually works, but that doesn
20:01.11eggyknap...'t sound as bad as backups failing
20:01.29eggyknapunum: that meeting's tomorrow, no?
20:01.34unumya
20:01.45unum7:10 web building on u of u campus
20:01.57unumno wait
20:02.00unum3rd wednesday
20:02.10unumyep that would be tommorrow
20:02.37unumthey tend to announce things very last minute
20:04.17eggyknapYeah, I haven't heard a response from Marc to my last email... of a few days ago.
20:04.18eggyknapOh well.
20:04.43eggyknapAnyway, fungus is otherwise committed, as it turns out, so, um, you're the only one on the list so far as I know :)
20:07.40unumthis could be fun...
20:09.13eggyknapYeah. I can talk up PostgreSQL some more if anyone's interested, but that's about all I'm good for.
20:09.57eggyknapas a side note, I spent this weekend at PostgreSQL Conference West learning, among other things, why recursive queries and window functions are Very Good Things. PostgreSQL 8.4 will have recursive queries, and hopefully window functions as well.
20:10.09eggyknap...and I gave a debut presentation on how to write PL/LOLCODE :)

22:53.44unummarc sent out an email to sllug about tomorrows meeting
22:54.43eggyknapOh goodie
22:55.00eggyknapbegs fungus to reconsider :)
22:55.07eggyknapOk, just kidding.
23:07.08eggyknapunum: Question. Marc asks if we'd have more volunteers given an extra week before the meeting. I'm hesitant to suggest he do that, just because it seems like short notice to SLLUG-ers. Your thoughts?
23:07.31eggyknap...and does anyone wanna come represent MySQL in this? I'm mildly surprised no one has stepped forward.
23:15.26unumI think we could get more.
23:15.49unumI'm not sure how much of an affect it will have on sllug
23:15.57unumthey are pretty sporiadic anyways
23:20.03eggyknapSounds about right to me, too. I'll ask if he can hold off.
23:20.59eggyknapis beginning seriously to tire of $day_job right about now
23:25.04unumI had a hardware failure that corrupted by database
23:25.26unumand then discovered by bzipped files for the last week were corrupted

23:31.01eggyknapWell, it looks like the meet's getting pushed back then.
23:32.24eggyknapunum take note :) revised meeting schedule coming shortly.
23:32.42eggyknapfungus -- if you're free a week from tomorrow, sqllite is still welcome :)
23:33.03fungusSure, I'm free next week.
23:33.22eggyknapsweet :)
23:33.32eggyknapis still looking for someone willing to talk up MySQL.
23:33.46eggyknapcould make snarky comments about why such people haven't been forthcoming, but that would start arguments.
23:34.12fungusAll my MySQL experience is in general administration.
23:35.08eggyknapMy experience with either mysql or pgsql is as a developer and for reporting; I'm woefully light on hardware.
23:46.41fungusI personally love MySQL for many applications.  But I'm not a postgres hater
23:47.50eggyknapI'm a MySQL hater -- but largely because for the apps I've had to use it for, it was completely unsuited. And because I'm a jerk that way :)
