Too many blog posts
I am ridiculously far behind on reading blog posts since the MySQL conference. I like to lag somewhat behind, because then when I read the posts I get to see some comments. But I’m much farther behind now than I want to be. This is mostly the fault of the MySQL replication, Performance Schema, NDB Cluster, and InnoDB developers, who just announced a large number of improvements in the upcoming MySQL 5.6 release. How long did it take them to draft all those posts? I hope they keep blogging steadily between releases, too. In the meantime, I’m too far behind. It’s a good problem to have.
Funny, I thought it was just me. It seems as if the MySQL diaspora is now bearing fruit from all the independent work on different projects as well as within Oracle.

Guess why I have not blogged during the crazy conference…

Baron,
Blogging frequency discussions have been shown to by empirical debate to not have any significance.

I am glad that you are happy with more blog posts, and it seems you where also happy with less.
Most importantly this shows you are generally happy with things regardless of frequency.. and that is good IMO.

Tom, yes, I am happy with fewer blogs too. When another blogger pointed out the decline in number of posts, my first thought was “but we are having deep technical discussions and really meaningful long articles from geniuses, and when we had more blogs I don’t remember that being the case.”
Now we have a flood of long articles from geniuses, so it’s even better.
