DBD::Multi My second Perl Module is now available on CPAN. DBD::Multi is a
module that implements transparent load distribution and fail-over for read-only
queries on a cluster of replicated database servers. This is something that
I've been using for a while at work now in conjunction with our Slony replicated postgreSQL servers. I designed most of the module. Credit goes to Casey West for most of the initial
implementation back when he still worked for pair.

Random Stuff I was doing some volunteer work for the scouts today. There's a condemned
apartment building in Greensburg and the Scouts were given permission to
salvage some useful items out of the building for camp. I was helping pull a
window fixture out of the wall when I stepped on a nail that went all the way
through my shoe and into the foot. I spent the rest of the day in the
Emergency Room getting x-rays and a tetanus shot. I finished reading "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Price." I've also been
trying to ready "Ribsy" to Natalie, but she isn't all that interested. Presently, I'm reading "Perl Best Practices" by Damian Conway. I've started adding some content to the Westmoreland-Fayette Council website. I expect
that project to pick up some momentum soon. The Wagion Lodge banquet will be coming up on February 25th. As program
adviser, I've been monitoring the planning closely. Things seem to be exactly
where they should be right now. We have an Executive Committee meeting
tomorrow to make sure we haven't forgotten anything. The large project that I've been working on since November is just about
done. I can't say much about it until it is officially announced, except that
I'm really pleased with the way it turned out and I'm excited to get it out the
door.
