Should you move from MyISAM to Innodb ?
There is significant portion of customers which are still using MyISAM when they come to us, so one of the big questions is when it is feasible to move to Innodb and when staying on MyISAM is preferred ?
I generally prefer to see Innodb as the main storage engine because it makes life much simpler in the end for most users – you do not get to deal with recovering tables on the crash or partially executed statements. Table locks is no more problem, hot backups are easy, though there are some important things which we have to consider on case by case basics before recommending the move.
Is MyISAM used as default or as a choice ? This is the most important question to ask upfront. Sometimes MyISAM is there just because it is default, in other cases this is deliberate choice with system being optimized to deal with MyISAM limits, for example there is a dedicated slave available for all long reporting queries. In case MyISAM was chosen not just happened to be it is important to build the good argument to suggest Innodb.
Application Readiness Application should be ready to work with Innodb, for example be ready to deal with deadlocks which can happen with Innodb even if you do not use transactions, but which are not existent with MyISAM. QA has to be performed as part of the move.
Performance Innodb has a lot to offer in terms of performance – Performance benefits and drawbacks. On the benefits side we usually see clustering by primary key, caching data, higher concurrency, background flushes while on the drawbacks side we see significantly large table size (especially if data size is close to memory size), generally slower writes, slower blob handling, concurrency issues, problems dealing with very large number of tables, slow data load and ALTER TABLE and others. Another big one is COUNT(*) without where clause which is often the show stopper for them move until it is worked around.
Should You Be Marketing on Google Plus?
There are strong indications that Google Plus will become a powerful marketing tool for business, but there’s a problem: the service is not yet allowing businesses to create profiles. So what to do? Should this stop you from using it to build your brand and get more customers? We say no. Here are five ways to play.
1. Be the front man.
Google won’t let your business have a profile, but you certainly can create an individual profile and post business-related material to your circles. (More about circles later.) In some ways, that’s even making a virtue out of Google’s restriction, by forcing you into being the front man or woman for your company.
2. Invite your existing followers.
In the very earliest days, invitations to Google Plus were about as common as gold tickets in Willie Wonka bars. Things have loosened up, and users can now get others through the door pretty freely. Send invitations to your best and most electronically engaged customers first. Import your Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn followers, and maybe even look at your customer/CRM list.
Side note: You may find it difficult to import your Facebook friends or fans. Facebook recognizes the threat posed by Google Plus and has blocked several services that do this.
3. Use circles to segment your contacts.
The organizational metaphor of G+ is that of “circles.” You assign your contacts to one or several circles of acquaintance or interest. The metaphor is literal in the user interface when you start out: you drag people onto circles that you can create and name.
What i am missing at facebook calendar & events
It happens to most of us : you've got invited to some event. Mostly you don't know who the f*ck is that guy , what's the hell is going to happen & etc.
I've got enough of friends, spread all over the world - Israel , Europe , US & Far East. Friend of the friend, who have invited me one hundred years ago to some group ( before fb pages were created ) and I have forgotten about this group 7 times … Long story short – some dude finds this group with lots members , enters it and starts spamming everyone with invitations.
Dear facebook engineers : If event is local , and it is thousands miles from me ( it's 17 hours flight from Tel-Aviv to California ), please don't send me invitations. I'm happy that some dude is throwing a party at his home, i'm happy that his start-up got 50k users. But I really won't attend it. Even if he is going to pay for the ticket – I hate flying, yeah..
I'm really f*cking interested in tech meetings & parties near by.
Did you got my message right ?
If no, contact me , it's easy , @themoah
New AOL strategy
As for me it doesn't seem cool. AOL merged with TimeWarner. Two giants together. Before that AOL had acquired lots of great blogs & news websites. Like Engadget. Don't ask what for ?To get more spread & ad netwrork. Actually AOL also owns great infrastructure. So does TimeWarner. Then AOL acquired TechCrunch. Yesterday - Huffington Post. Now Michael Arlington is joking about "HuffingCrunch". Dude, it sucks.
Who's the competitor ? News Corp ? FML
p.s. Do you remember Social Network movie ? Inventing working place is something really awesome, not acquiring it
i hate you !
Apple , the creators of Mac OS X , i hate you ! Why ? I switched to mac from linux , because i wanted "full unix power" with awesome GUI. Really. I need the httrack app. Why the hell should i download Xcode & lots of other stuff manually ? Why not to do with one line ?
Google , creators of Gmail & Google apps , i hate you ! Why ? Why the hell do we pay 50$ per account with all very important e-mails don't reach my email ? Or got to spam ? I'll switch to rackspace e-mail service. Or anything else. Really. Hate you. ( Yeah , google reader is very needed thing. Don't hide it. Don't be idiot )
