Days drawing closer for Benitez

With a disappointing Portsmouth 3 – 0 Liverpool, Liverpool not only lost again, but this time to the lowest member of the league. Benitez blames the red card, but I’m sure his days are starting to get numbered.

Manchester united too lost against Fulham 3 – 0 Man Utd. With all of their premier defenders out with injuries except for Patrick Evra.

This season it seems there is gonna be a good fight for the league

Indian Roller spotting

Yesterday I was at Mahul, Chembur for playing a cricket match. While I waited for the teams to arrive, something bright blue caught my attention in the lovely trees surrounding the ground, I moved ahead and spotted a bird with brown-gray back, but with turquoises and blue on the crown and the wings.

Today, I searched online to find its name and as it turns out to be, Indian Roller. Check the beautiful bird below. (That is not my capture)

Iktara – Wake Up Sid | Guitar chords

This entry is part 15 of 43 in the series Guitar

I came across the title of this song in one of my email conversations, I sincerely thank the person for this, since then I couldn’t wait to chord-ify the song.

The soulful ballad is in the scale of G, If you find that any chord is missing or slightly incorrect just simply strum the G chord.

Strumming Pattern:D D U U D U

It changes slightly during the chorus. I shall try to tab the intro and if possible within my limits, the interlude 😛

Redis, Memcached, Tokyo Tyrant and MySQL comparision (rectification skip-name-resolve)

My previous post Redis, Memcache, Tokyp Tyrant, MySQL comparison had a flaw as pointed out by this comment. The MySQL was taking a huge time for doing a reverse DNS lookup.

I turned on the skip-name-resolve parameter in the my.cnf and the Throughput of MySQL grew considerably, almost more than double.

Here are the new results.

MyISAM vs InnoDB

Nothing much has changed in the above test. Except for the fact InnoDB starts leading the way when there are high number of concurrent Inserts/Updates or Writes on the table. As seen from the “Set” graph InnoDB starts closing for MyISAM’s write efficiency around 30 concurrent requests and then by 60 concurrent requests its already ahead in throughput of writes – 1284/s against 825/s. Further I had put a watch on processlist and was watching the processess, there were times during MyISAM when the inserts took over 6seconds to finish, which also means that if you are in a need of an application which requires quicker response during heavy loads / heavy concurrency… You need to check the MyISAM vs. InnoDB scenario really closely. At low concurrency MyISAM is well ahead in writes, and in Reads, both MyISAM and InnoDB perform equally well.

Again you need to make sure that you check ur test conditions really well before just taking InnoDB for granted.
