SAGE-AU

Before heading to the US for Shizzlin’ the Drizzle (okay, it really is just a meeting) I headed to Surfers for SAGE-AU 2009. I previously spoke at a SAGE-AU in Canberra a couple of years ago (Wikipedia tells me that it must have been 2006). This time, I was there speaking on Drizzle. I could only make the conference for a limited amount of time due to having to get to the US for our Drizzle team meeting (I even skipped out on the dinner early as I had to be up very early for catching flights).

The conference was a bit smaller than I would have hoped (I wonder if economic downturn is part of this, or are people finding that they are getting enough benefit from just conferences such as linux.conf.au and/or OSDC).

The dinner was pretty cool though, at Dreamworld and got to ride tower of terror for an hour :) There were also tigers:

I didn’t take many photos at the Drizzle Meeting, although I did take a couple at the end at the Hopvine (just down the road from Brian’s place).

A good read is Brian’s wrap up of the meeting.

But we have (courtesy of Brian):

and a couple I took at the Hopvine:

The last one there of Lee looks almost scary… strange light, moving subject, all part of the fun :)

It was really good to get a number of people together and chat. In future, we’ll no doubt have larger gatherings that are really inclusive.

Sluggish liferea with lots of feeds and cached entries?

Increasing the sqlite cache size seems to have improved it for me:
$ sqlite3 /home/stewart/.liferea_1.4/liferea.db
SQLite version 3.6.10
Enter “.help” for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a “;”
sqlite> pragma default_cache_size=20000;
