I wrote on my personal blog, which gets heavily abused for tech stuff, it was time for a tech blog. I wrote that about a year ago.

So, I guess now is the time for a tech blog. Rolled my own (as I do with my cigarettes) as I needed less then anything and wanted to do it with Rails (As I love Ruby and like to write code).

Was out early this morning (or rather the kids where up and it was Jenny's turn to keep the bed warm) and as they where multitasking between playing and watching Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends I was having a critical second look at the new me (or rather the business presentation of me called website).

I fixed some stuff (see http://github.com/coffeeaddict/simplic.it/commits/master) and am still amazed with the ease the Rails run.

This morning a tweet alerted me to the fact that Oracle is to acquire Sun and with it MySQL. It led to the blog of Monty (Micheal Widenius, creator of MySQL) where a doom scenario is laid out for the future of MySQL.

It explains how Oracle has been proven unworthy of OpenSource projects by the way they have treated InnoDB and it also explains that the European Commission (EC) has second thoughts about the deal.
