A few of us from Solid are up in Portland at OSCON. We’ll be showing off a new prototype of our high availability (HA) option for solidDB for MySQL. The HA option allows solidDB for MySQL to act in a hot-standby configuration where there is a primary and secondary server. The data in the primary is automatically synchronously replicated to the secondary. In the case that the primary fails, our HA Manager automatically performs a failover and the secondary server becomes the new primary. The secondary is also always available for read-only requests.
We’ll also be talking about DorsalSource, a community-focused Web site whose goal is to provide developers with easy access to builds of MySQL and related products. Come by booth 820 on Wednesday or Thursday if you want to hear more, download movies, movies online.

Hi Jonathan,
Just FYI, your quote is from Mark Twain, not Abe Lincoln:

“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” — Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Don, thanks for the info. It turns out not to be an easy answer as to whom the original quote should be attributed. Thanks for bringing my attention to it!

You’re right, it is complicated. BrainyQuotes has an entry below that indicates Samuel Johnson may have been the first:

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

Some men are like ballads, that are in everyone’s mouth a little while.
