Great podcast thanks to IT Conversations
In mid 2006, YouTube served approximately 100 million videos in a single day. To maintain a website of that scale, one would imagine YouTube has hundreds of DBAs. But in fact, there are just three people that make it all work. Paul Tuckfield, the MySQL DBA at YouTube shares horror stories about scalability at YouTube and how he coped with them to keep the show going everyday, while learning important lessons along the way.
YouTube uses MySQL as the back-end. When Paul joined YouTube, he had 15 years of experience solving database scalability problems and administering computer networks. However, he was completely new to MySQL. Within weeks, the set of challenges he faced about scaling MySQL taught him so much more than one could learn over years. He’s all excited about sharing his insights.
According to him, the three important reasons for YouTube’s scalability are Python, Memcache and MySQL replication, the last having the most impact. Most people think that the answer to scalability is in upgrading hardware and CPU power. Adding CPUs doesn’t work on its own; wisdom is in getting the maximum amount of RAM for the CPU and then fine tuning. He talks about replication in detail sharing his experience in dealing with problems such as time lags in replication between master and slave disks, RAID caching, OS level caching on Linux and cache at the database.

Welcome to the first show of 2008. Today we’re talking to Nick McCormick of Be Good Ventures .
By the time you read this, we’ll have finished our first ever CMM Webinar. Technology allowing, we’ll record it and post it for everyone to watch- but you know me and technology. Meanwhile…don’t forget if you’re interested in learning how you and your company can use web presentation tools more effectively, check out my new site www.greatwebmeetings.com.
Show Notes
0:00 Today we look at something I am, admittedly, God-awful at: Time Management. If you want to know why this matters, we’re dedicating this show to Pherecydes of Syros. Before him, no one knew if you were late for work apparently.
2:20 Today’s quote is from the Roman poet Ovid. Who knew a good business quote could come from someone famous for his love poetry… of course those were the days before HR departments or IT guys who could scan your email so maybe it was more common back then……
3:00 Welcome Nick McCormick, author of the Trekkie sounding “Lead Well and Prosper”. I became aware of him through Phil Gerbyshak over at Make It Great and Slacker Manager. The man is everywhere…..anyway, not to put too fine a point on things I suck at managing my time. Think Nick can help?? Hey we’re just trying to be good managers… and that oughta be enough.
8:22 With trying to set up a new company and balance all I have going on, Time Management is probably my bete noir. I haven’t even gotten around to reading “Getting Things Done”, although I did interview David Allen about 2 years or so ago. And what’s wrong with my To-Do List anyway?????
11:10 There are lots of great tools out there… but maybe the best one is the Off button. TURN STUFF OFF and tell the world to leave you alone for a while. It is doable…
17:45 Control the number of meetings you go to… and don’t be afraid to be too busy to schedule you. (This is also a good time to shamelessly plug my e-book “Meet Like You Mean It”)
21:00 Nick’s main characters are Joe Kerr and Wanda B Goode… they’re on his blog as well as in the book.
23:00 Cool resources include How To Become a Great Boss by Jeffrey Fox (hear his conversation with us here…)
Dear Boss by William Werther
The audio book version of Who Says Elephants Can’t Dance…. Louis Gerstner

Scholarship Update
+ The Timothy S. and Palmer W. Bigelow, Jr. Scholarship was created in 1988 by the Bigelow family to aid students from New England who are seeking a career in horticulture. The scholarship was dedicated initially to one of the family’s children, the late Timothy Bigelow. At Palmer W. “Bill” Bigelow’s death, the name of its creator was added. The Bigelow family considers student scholarships the most important commitment the horticultural industry can make to insure the growth and development of the nursery and landscape industry. In recent years the scholarships have totaled $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000 to three graduate or under-graduate students to New England universities.

Review
Walt Disney Treasures: On the War Front
This is a great set for history buffs or vintage Disney fans. I highly recommend it.
This set is chock full of training and PSA cartoons made for the war effort for WWII. I love the Disney educational videos. That's how I learnt about venereal disease (apparently the video was deleted from Google Video, so this was the best I could do). That's how I also learned about the story of menstruation:
The promos played are:
Eeeper's Choice
Anime Pacific
Chibi Tokyo
The comedy bit is Wilford Brimley Hates Your Diabetes by Smart Bomb Radio
The song is The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson
