Lots, if not everyone goes crazy about privacy. Well, putting pictures or videos of your baby or kids online is actually invading theirs. Our kid will have the choice later to do whatever he/she likes with the millions of shots we’ve made, just like us, the pre-born mass-Internet kiddoes. So, this is a call: respect your kid’s privacy and ask if you can expose them when they reached an age they actually understand the consequences.

We just released MySQL Connector/Python 0.1.5 which includes a critical bug fix. It was impossible to read big result sets. The files for 0.1.4-release have been removed.

For a long time, the Dragon of Kraków has been fiercely protecting its den under the Wavel Hill spewing flames. An attraction for lots, a legend for many: day in, day out it is admired. From time to time however, flames are no match for water. When rain reigns the sky and falls down to grow the mighty rivers, the dragon stands powerless. People and cameras turn their backs on it to watch the Vistula raise and flow rapidly.

Next development release 0.1.4 of MySQL Connector/Python is now available for download. This will be the last in the 0.1-series as we move on to 0.2. The aim is to release more often to get to v1.0. Hurray! Highlights Reading from network was broken for bigger packages. Reimplementing protocol. MySQLProtocol marking simpler and easier to maintain. It is now possible to send multiple statements to MySQL using MySQLCursor.execute(). The results are accessible by calling the method next_resultset().

Today I walked along the Wisła (Vistula river) in Kraków. The past week it didn’t stop raining and it starts to show. It is the first time that I personally see such event. The river seems to be taking over the city. The Wavel castle is still safe standing up the hill. The Dragon on the other hand is suffering from lack of attention as all eyes and cameras are now on the Vistula river.
