Diamond Notes

Just for those who might be curious…I decided not do the MySQL podcast. Shortly after putting up the post about a MySQL podcast I found the podcast that Sheeri Kritzer put together called OurSQL. She is doing a fabulous job with it and I wouldn’t dare compete with her!! Anyways, take a listen to it. It is well worth your time. Here is the the feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/oursql. If that won’t work for you just google OurSQL.

So, iContact has secured funding for our continued expansion. One online copy of the press release is here:

So, its been a while.   About two months ago I accepted a new job with a company in Durham, NC. The company is called iContact and it has been a blast. I started on May the 29th so it has been just over a month. We have a fairly complex application and quite a bit of data. In addition, we are growing at a nice rate (and the growth continues to accelerate). I am looking forward to the challenge of not only managing what we have but also preparing for the scaling out of the system as it grows. I will be blogging about some of the things going on around here with the hope that I can be of some help to others in the community.
