Jeremy D. Zawodny and his two cats moved from Northwest Ohio to Silicon Valley
in late 1999, so he could work for Yahoo!—just in time to witness the dot-com
bubble bursting firsthand. He spent eight and half years at Yahoo!, helping to put
MySQL and other open source technologies to use in fun, interesting, and often very
big ways.
In recent times, he’s rediscovered his love of aviation, earning a private pilot glider
license in early 2003 and his commercial pilot rating in 2005. Since then he’s spent
far too much of his free time flying gliders out of Hollister, California and the Lake
Tahoe area. He also flies single engine light airplanes now and then, coowning a
Citabria 7KCAB and Cessna 182. Occasional consulting work helps to pay for his
flying addiction.
Jeremy lives in the San Francisco Bay Area of California with his wonderful wife and
their four cats. He blogs at jeremy.zawodny.com/blog.

 

 

 

Arjen Lentz was born in Amsterdam but has lived in Queensland, Australia since the
turn of the millennium, sharing his life these days with his beautiful daughter Phoebe
and black cat Figaro. Originally a C programmer, Arjen was employee #25 at

(http://openquery.com.au), which develops and provides its own data management
training and consulting services in the Asia Pacific region and beyond. Arjen also
regularly speaks at conferences and user groups. In his abundance of spare time,
Arjen indulges in cooking, gardening, reading, camping, and exploring the RepRap.

The animal on the cover of High Performance MySQL is a sparrow hawk (Accipiter
nisus), a small woodland member of the falcon family found in Eurasia and North
Africa. Sparrow hawks have a long tail and short wings; males are bluish-gray with a
light brown breast, and females are more brown-gray and have an almost fully white
breast. Males are normally somewhat smaller (11 inches) than females (15 inches).
Sparrow hawks live in coniferous woods and feed on small mammals, insects, and
birds. They nest in trees and sometimes on cliff ledges. At the beginning of the
summer, the female lays four to six white eggs, blotched red and brown, in a nest
made in the boughs of the tallest tree available. The male feeds the female and their
young.
Like all hawks, the sparrow hawk is capable of bursts of high speed in flight. Whether
soaring or gliding, the sparrow hawk has a characteristic flap-flap-glide action; its
large tail enables the hawk to twist and turn effortlessly in and out of cover.
