I think mytop is pretty much an eclipsed project these days; check out innotop. It could use some updates too, to work better with the recent versions of the InnoDB Plugin. If you want to work on that, hop on the mailing list and say hi. Thanks Mark! I think mytop is pretty much an eclipsed project these days; check out innotop.

For Real! I read and reviewed "MySQL Admin Cookbook" and thought it was half baked. I thought it need more Maat. If you need help in any way I'm in. I've been adding fixes and updates to MyTOP but I havn't gotten Jeremy to reply to my email. I've posted my work on MySQLFanBoy.com/mytop. This is the book I’ve been looking for. For Real!

After the holidays there were meetings and conferences, and I'm planning to get back to it Real Soon Now. It got put on hold just before the holidays, when I unexpectedly started to travel a lot.

From what I hear, technical writers are barely paid relative to the effort they put in to do the work. Which is mind blowing considering how expensive technical books are. If more authors would come up w/ innovative models like yours and we had a proper e-book reader w/o such crushing DRM, I'm sure a lot more books would be bought and read and more money would reach the pockets of the authors, who deserve the bulk for their hard work. Bravo Baron. Excellent idea.
