In February we kicked off the KillDashNine drinkup. It was a huge success (turns out we aren’t the only ones who care about durability) and, as promised, we’ll be having another drinkup this month. On Wednesday, 3/9, we will be clinking glasses and sharing data loss horror stories at Bloodhound, located at 1145 Folsom Street here in San Francisco.
This month’s chosen cocktail is the *Data Eraser*, and it’s simple to make: 2 oz Vodka, 2 Oz Coffee Liqueur, 2 oz Tonic, and a dash of bitter frustration, anguish, and confusion (which is more or less how one feels when their data just disappears). And if you can’t make it, be sure to pour yourself a Data Eraser on 3/9 to take part in the festivities from wherever you happen to find yourself (or you can run your own local KillDashNine like Marten Gustafson did in Stockholm last month.
Registration details for the event are here, so be sure to RSVP if you’re planning to join us. In the mean time, spin up a few nodes of your favorite database and try your hand at terminating some processes with the help of our favorite command: _kill-9_.
Long Live Durability!
