Yesterday's MySQL University session on Gearman for MySQL had a rough start. After I had assigned Giuseppe presenter status we found out that Dimdim (our conferencing system) now turns on video when it discovers a web cam on the presenter's computer. That's not a bad thing in general, but you can't turn it off, which *is* a bad thing when your network bandwidth is less than superior. As a consequence, Giuseppe's voice came over very choppy, and the presentation stopped altogether after a few minutes.

For that reason, we decided to restart the session from scratch. This time Giuseppe turned off his camera before becoming presenter, and the session worked flawlessly. For those of you who've given up because of bad sound quality, the recording is here, and it looks and sounds good. You can find it on the MySQL University session page: http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Gearman_for_MySQL. Enjoy (and sorry for the inconvenience)!
