I love Marleen! Not only did I get a pair of wonderful flashy green All Stars (Brocade) for my going away party, no, I also got a 60 euro coupon for Kinki hairdressers which I might just use on Wednesday before I'm off to Copenhagen for Kirsten and Pinboys! Thanks again, best going away present of my career so far!

Last day at work

• Posted by Rob (#1) on April 11, 2006 15:40 CEST

Today has been my last day at Yarosa. I will soon explore new activities and challenges in Amsterdam.. but not until I get some (well-deserved?) rest until after Easter. Expect fewer updates here the next few days, unless some really special events happen and I go on-line with my cell phone.

So long Yarosa.. and thanks for all the fish.

Slow SQL Queries

• Posted by Rob (#1) on September 9, 2004 13:28 CEST

If your database table has 11 million records, adding a proper index will speed it up significantly, especially when you edit the query so that it can actually use the index. Accomplished performance gain at work: query times dropped from 30s to less than 0.1s, so that'd be a 30,000% gain. Wiee. Monitoring the database should include less uh-oh thoughts tomorrow morning.
