it surprises me, whenever i wear my shirt that says i’m bored (with a picture of patrick from spongebob squarepants with a board nailed to his head), how many people ask whether i’m bored.

i needed to remake some images for this article about storage engines in mysql, so after futzing around in illustrator for a bit, i remember omnigraffle, and registered it by the time i was making the third image. with some practice, i could be dangerous with this tool.

speaking of articles on the mysql developer zone, we’re working on publishing a new article there every week. if you’re interested in writing an article, drop me a line. i can’t promise fortune, but there may be a little fame. it may be a good way to find an open source programming job. (or support job, or documentation job, or ...)
