MySQL replication, how the slave saved the master

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

I spent a good deal of last night repairing a MySQL master-slave setup for a customer of ours, running a fairly large website. One of their developers made the usual mistake of running a query much like “UPDATE table SET x = ‘This is a test’” and forgot the WHERE clause. This wouldn’t have been [...]

Risky business

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

Never even tought that this would work… Notez-bien: eth0 was manually configured. rush:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A7:0F:AB:43 inet addr:192.168.92.7 Bcast:192.168.92.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:DC:DD:75:DE inet addr:192.168.92.3 Bcast:192.168.92.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 rush:~# vi /etc/network/interfaces — change eth1′s IP from DHCP to static .7 — create configuration for eth0 with DHCP — make sure your [...]

Firefox 1.5

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

Nice thing, that Firefox thingie. Don’t need the tab-moving-enabling extension anymore. One complaint, on Windows machines I use the classic theme.
