A Bunch of Great Strategies for Using Memcached and MySQL Better TogetherWritten by Todd Hoff in High Scalability - Building bigger, faster, more reliable websites. on August 5th.

Dropped into a Salem micro-brewery for a (very good) pint and got accosted by a crazy person. Walked back to the hotel, straight past this little beauty.
