Things don't seemed to have calmed down at Fawlty Towers yet, but at least we got a decision that allows me to further simplify the code.

Tinkering with Hot Standby some more. Recent panic seems to have died down. Calm before the storm? We'll see.

What do you want to know?.

just got back from some very cool places - what next, I ponder?.

Squashing some more performance issues for a very smart team of guys. Seems there's always something that can be improved.

Just about to take my kids on zip wire through the trees. time off is a wonderful thing.

hmmm. still don't think the Postgres array facilities are complete. Annoying having to roll things together to make stuff work.

Spending time with customers. It's always a good thing until they ask "So who's writing Postgres while you're here?". :-).

Another fine day in the world of PostgreSQL closes in the UK, for me at least.

Fighting with an SQL EXPLAIN and parameters.

Thinking about what people need in the next stage of PostgreSQL performance and high availability. What things are useful? What is too much?.
