certifiable

i took the mysql pro certification a couple of weeks ago (in prague), and found out today that i passed. i guess that is a good sign for someone who spends his work day hacking on the guts of the server. or that i still eat multiple choice tests for lunch.

like some other open source projects, mysql is celebrating it’s tenth anniversary (birthday?) this year. you can buy a coffee mug to commemorate the event.

according to monty, version 1.0 of mysql was released (“internally”) on may 23, 1995. happy birthday, mysql! the anniversary of the first public release is still a few months away.
