Dinner with cohorts
I had dinner last night with krow and a bunch of our co-workers. We went to a place on Capitol Hill in Seattle called Galeria's. I'd wandered by quite a few times but had not, until last night, eaten there.
Hey, look! Pictures!
Prior to dinner, we worked on fixing some of the last remaining 5.0 bugs (my father once - or more - told me that "watching is helping"). I met a couple of folks I had not met before and learned a few new things about MySQL's query optimizer and how execution plans are developed. It turns out that, like MaxDB, MySQL has a cost-based optimizer.
When we returned to Brian's place after dinner, everyone settled back in to work. Before long, I had to get back on the road. The trip from Capitol Hill to Silverdale takes quite a long time. It's comparable to commuting most of the way to Portland. Whee.
Alright. Back to Emacs land I go...
