    why are you not on your treadmill?

      I was shooting a video for XDA also, and it was just much more convenient to use the same setup / layout for this one. Plus, I picked up a new lens (just came in yesterday) that has a really shallow depth of field, so walking on a treadmill might put me out of focus easily. :)

    Just wanted to say that I am very very happy to have you back doing these. I felt like I was in the dark there while you were gone. Thank you for the good quality work you put into these.

    I’m also very curious about the mysql deal as we use it very frequently here at work as a remote monitoring and reporting database.
