Any chance of getting antirez for a Redis talk? I did see someone else on the future list talking about Redis at use in a company, but it's not quite the same thing.

I've love to hear a properly recorded talk with antirez. I consider Redis to be one of the most intelligently designed pieces of software I use.

I was excited to watch the London meetup videos, but unfortunately the combination of the audio quality and his accent made it quite hard to understand what he was saying (my brain seems to be able to deal with one or the other).

Clicked on link expecting to see a tape based key-value datastore.

It's being worked on. There's a lot of overhead inherent in random access, which really isn't necessary for most applications. ;)

yeah, you just insert your records in the only order you'd ever want to get them out

And now I can't help but think of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2085276 ("And suddenly, you're hip")

When did engineering get so slick and personable? It's a little unnerving to the slightly-antisocial among us... nerdery used to be a safe place for us. Now it's ninjas and slick conferences and macbooks everywhere.

(N.B. I do like macbooks)

Once a few nerds became the richest people on Earth they made it a lot harder for us real antisocials to blend in - and now this whole nosql/apple/ninja-sql-esque thing has left us well and truly thwarted.

(Just think of a macbook as a BSD box and you'll regain your self respect)

Hm, tape drives aren't even sold anymore, otherwise I might try.
