I don’t know how many of you are out there but I know at least some who’s lazy enough to rather write scripts than doing the same task over and over again. I’m definitely one of them. I hate repetitive tasks. Just like Abraham Lincoln said: “If I had eight hours … Continue reading
I have a HP MicroServer which I’m very satisfied with. I bought this right away when HP announced it when it still didn’t have a retail price determined. The only downside of it that it has only soft-RAID (or fake-RAID) controller built-in. A proper HP Smart Array controller must have … Continue reading

Right now I only committed basic fixes to be able to use it in our environment (Python 2.7). Namely:
We’re always testing the latest versions of MySQL with most of the environments to make sure that we can find the critical issues before it goes to production.

The best pictures will be exhibited in Erkel Ferenc community centre from 16th of October. I’m really hoping at least one of my pictures … Continue reading
Autosuggest is always a deal breaker in web applications. Normally users interact with the site once in every 20-30 seconds or even less frequent. That means if we have 30 concurrent visitors on our site we will have 1 request/sec on the webserver. This amount of traffic can be handled … Continue reading
In the last past month I got a lot of question about how to learn to fundaments of being a DBA/DBO. So I decided to write a (hopefully) comprehensive post about this.
