How To Set Up A Load-Balanced MySQL Cluster

hausmasta writes "This tutorial shows how to configure a MySQL 5 cluster with three nodes: two storage nodes and one management node. This cluster is load-balanced by a high-availability load balancer that in fact has two nodes that use the Ultra Monkey package which provides heartbeat (for checking if the other node is still alive) and ldirectord (to split up the requests to the nodes of the MySQL cluster)."

No, my business card hasn't yet learned to read. I have an easily understandable pictogram.

I agree 100% that Gnu is a completely shit name. I think Stallman & Friends would have had much more success in their little name campaign with a better name.

But it wasn't invented, it's a wildebeest. What they did tack on, unbelievably, is the crappy pronunciation.

That's right, they found the worst word in the world, took a dump on its pronunciation, and then demanded that we prefix Linux with it. Ha! "Let me know how that works out for you".

"and sometimes needs to be run by not-so-open-minded people who happen to write the check."

Write a check? It's an open source program. Oh and when was the last time you wrote THE NAME OF THE PRODUCT on a check? You write the check out to the company, is the company named ultra monkey?

"and sometimes needs to be run by not-so-open-minded people who happen to write the check."

Just go download it. You don't need a check.

"At least those a my thoughts."

Well we now know why you are a CTO. You have cleary risen/floated up the septic tank that is your corporation. Next time don't write the name of the product where the name of the company should go, your checks should clear faster that way.
