Hey Everyone….over the weekend I was thinking I would like to increase my knowledge of MySQL since I use it for my blog and would like to see what else I can do with it. I have a running knowledge of the open source database but would like to take it to the next level

So that is where you come in. do you use MySQL? What are some good resources I can dig into? blogs, forums, books? whatever the case may be….I am just looking for the places to get some great info.

Thanks Everyone!

Over at The Great Geek Manual they had a pretty funny post giving some examples of how open source is alot like sex. Here were a few of my favorites:

Most young users have to turn to the Internet for information about open source, because the topic gets skirted in most schools.

While there are a few freaks parading around for the media, most people using software without a commercial licensing agreement still keep their practices behind closed doors.

The biggest problem with programming in America today is that all the glossy commercial photos in the media have created unreasonable expectations. I mean, seriously. Do you know how long it takes them to position the software for one of those video demos?

be sure to head over and check out the whole list when you get a chance.
