There are probably several ways to discuss migrating MySQL — however — the most rewarding was surely spending some time with Tyson Lowery. Lowery is the owner and administrator of simdynasty.com, a fantasy baseball site.

On a separate note – sorry for the short notice – but Slashdot noted that the request for comments on email authentication as an anti-spam measure expires tomorrow! Read about the summit at Groklaw, and also see the federal register notice attached to this post.
