Chrome isn't about building and strengthening core competencies, but edge competencies" - and cooperation (e.g. Ford and GM open-sourcing) - a vision where "the value that's created is authentic, durable, and meaningful to humans" - breaking a cycle of opposition, of disadvantage and competitive advantage

How to Change MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of network interface in Ubuntu Linux

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:05:49 -0700

Maximum Transmission Unit(MTU), the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent.By optimizing the MTU setting you can gain substantial network performance increases, especially when using dial-up modem connections.

BPM's place in the upcoming decade of corporate change

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:10:30 -0700

By "capability for change" I mean: having a corporate culture that will actively embrace change, without fear, and work to make that change good. Today, most cultures actively reject change, until forced by market conditions into it.

Pentaho changes

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:50:02 -0700

I’m back at my favorite spot at the Orlando airport:

This week has gone bye so fast it’s kinda scary. I got dragged into one meeting after another design session after another knowledge transfer opportunity for 5 days in a row. After our long working days, the discussions and talks just continued over dinner and beers.

It was great to meet everyone and as always we had a good time around the office and at the Ale House. I even managed to stay sober this time around. Well at least most of the time.

As always, the thing that struck me the most was how fast Pentaho changes. It’s almost like visiting a different company every time I drop in. Since I don’t see the day-to-day changes around the office, the difference between the first time I visited (15 people) and now (70+) is striking. The office space occupied more than doubled for example.

Well, let me tell you, it’s an honour to be able to witness this great growth process in person. I’m looking forward to things to come!

Until next time,
Matt

Simple MySQL Auditing

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:16:54 -0700

Simple auditing, i.e., knowing what changed recently, can save you tons of time while troubleshooting.

I know that, in the ideal world:

Everything is supposed to be done through configuration management.
Everything is documented and all changes are tracked through a VCS.
Every DDL or set global is trapped via MySQL Proxy and logged.

But there are always ways to bypass the gatekeepers. Changes can go in unnoticed. An hour or so later, your database performance suddenly changes for the worse, and you get that phone call.

First you check if anything caused an actual error. You look around at a few log files and nothing shows up. The next thing you ask yourself is, did someone change anything in the last little while. Of course, everybody says no. After a few hours of digging, comparing schemas, diff-ing old and current config files, you actually find what has changed, put it back the way it was and everything is back to normal. You ask the question again, did anybody change the global variable from X to Y, and someone finally admits it. But they thought that it was not relevant since they did that change on the weekend and the system performance didn’t go down the toilet until Monday morning around 9:00am. Sound familiar?

We have all gone through this many times, and it doesn’t matter what process you have in place — something always slips through the cracks.

I came up with some simple stored procedure that will compare two data sets and keep track of the changes historically. It’s loosely based on slowly-changing dimension type 2 in the data warehouse world (google Ralph Kimball if you want to get all the gory details). This method tracks only changes, so you should be able to keep historical rows forever, unless you are constantly dropping and creating whatever you are tracking.

Say you want to keep track of my.cnf or global variables changes. This one of the simplest tables to track, the information_schema — it has only two columns. Others, such as tables or routines, would make the SQL to compare a little more involved.

First you need a table to track this with. I called mine historical_global_variable. It has the two columns from the original table plus three additional ones:
