pckswarms.ch - interesting uncommon events


So, now for something completely different...

It seems that EarthSwarms isn't going to take off, so, we'll put that on the back burner for now.

Packet Swarms pretty much seems stable.

Therefore, let's do something completely different. Or, the same, as the case may be. I've always thought that MySQL's idea of pluggable storage engines was clever, and, I have some interesting ideas about connecting MySQL and Squeak.

The cool thing with this is that you can map many other types of data in to a form that you can at least read, and maybe write, from within MySQL.

MySQL storage engines

When I worked with this before, about a year ago, it wasn't ready for prime time yet. Things are in much better shape now.

Brian Aker has written a nice set of blog postings on getting a skeleton storage engine running here.

The instructions here didn't quite work for me though, so, from a basic Debian Etch install you:

Next I work on making things talk to a running instance of Squeak
