  • RE: The Five Year Plan

    I see the role of internal infrastructure guys changing radically. Some aspect of their work vanishing completely but other aspects, particularly surrounding security and monitoring getting much more emphasis.

  • RE: When Windows don’t provide illumination

    I found I quite liked HeidiSQL, the GUI that ships with MariaDB. It echos the commands that the GUI performs including those that are used by the GUI itself...
