It’s been quite a while since there’s been any action from me on here… I’ve been way too lax about posting, and too busy to be anything but. That isn’t an excuse because if the time wants to be found then it will eventually be found. I looked tonight and found some 600 spam comments — but that’s to be expected when I haven’t even checked the site in over a month — resulting in me having the moderate the comments so they won’t show up right away if posted.
The real purpose of me getting back into the swing of things is to share some good news. As it turns out, the array embedded hardware systems I’ve been designing and testing for months is going to be used in a demonstration at this year’s VLDB conference in Trondheim, Norway, at the end of next month. Apparently this is one of the premiere database conferences in the world so having something I designed be on show is an honor. I don’t exactly how it all fits in to a database conference but I’m leaving all that up to the software guys to integrate.
