No, this is not about some weird socket issue or a misspelling of SpockProxy or something like that. I'm talking about socks.

As some of my readers know, I've been on a backpacking tour across the United States and Canada visiting universities talking about MySQL. So yes, I'm literally travelling with a backpack and have all my clothes on my back. Well. No longer. Apparently my socks have been left somewhere inbetween Chicago and California. Damn you Sock Gnomes!

It's okay. Rich Taylor of MySQL came to my rescue. I am now sock happy. Lots of technical MySQL Conf articles, lots of angst right now, I thought I would post a non-traditional MySQL UC story.

Death to Sock Gnomes!!!!!
