Elephants and turtles

Someone on IRC asked for pictures with elephants and turtles, so I took the chance:


Finally back home

After a long trip I finally arrived back home. Because the way from Italy back to Germany is very long, I made a stop in Munich and met some old friends. From the moment Stefan and I had entered Austria until I was in Munich, it was heavily raining. After having sunshine and 30 or more degree in Italy this was really sobering.


Weekly PostgreSQL newsletter

We just finised and mailed the PWN … this time David and I was posting to our list at exactly the same time ;-)


PGDay.it ended

PGDay.it is over, it was a really impressive conference with a lot of good talks. The people from the Prato Linux User Group did a really good job. I met many people which I only knew from mail or irc, had some interesting discussions and of course we had fun ;-)


Community relations

I decided to have a second talk before my main talk and prepared some slides from the community day in Prato, which took place yesterday. The talk was named “Community relations” and got some attention ;-)


Got icecream

Yesterday Stefan (mastermind) and I finally arrived in Prato just to meet David Fetter, Magnus Hagander and Josh Berkus in the hotel. We made a trip into the city because we had some hours until the evening program starts.


Avoid autovacuum for entire databases

We have a database with production data for a platform and another database with a production database dump for testing queries.

Blue plush elephants

Mr. Postman again, this time he delivered a parcel.


Another PGUG shirt

Today Mr. Postman brought me a letter:


tablelog now as RPM and Debian package

A while ago I submitted my tablelog version 0.4.4 as a Debian package (with Alexander as maintainer) and Devrim created a RPM for Fedora. The RPM was accepted a couple of days later and now that DebConf is over, the Debian maintainer also accepted this package in extra misc for the upcoming release.
