Some previous MySQL Confererence posts

Just for reference, here are some previous posts I did for the 2005 MySQL User Conference:

• Day 0
• Day 1
• Day 2
• Day 3
• Day 4

Not that these are particularly awesome or anything, but there are a few travels notes which may possibly be useful if you decide to go this year, since it's in the same location.

If you have the time, and you are from outside The Valley, catch CalTrain and head out to San Francisco.

MySQL Conference & Expo 2007

Thanks to a gift from MySQL AB, I'll be attending the MySQL Conference & Expo 2007. I presented at the 2005 conference, and found the conference itself to be pretty educational. Plus the food is generally pretty good at the O'Reilly conferences. Of course the real reason people to conferences is for the swag. Now this year's PyCon had some pretty good swag; I got at least six free T-shirts and two Rubik's cubes. So top that.
