A developer's Malta report

Mike Hillyer is the webmaster of vbmysql.com, a site dedicated to helping Visual Basic developers use MySQL, and also volunteers as the resident MySQL expert in the Ask the Experts section of searchdatabase.com. Mike is the top ranked MySQL expert at http://www.experts-exchange.com/. He came to Malta a few weeks ago for a developers conference and wrote a report to record his thoughts:

My first experience in Malta was the Maltese nightlife. Every night there would be people milling about going in and out of clubs till the early morning hours. Even more surprising was the average age of the party goers. Some seemed as young as twelve, many seemed to be underage. The minimum drinking age was sixteen but I don't think anyone was enforcing it. The bouncers at the entrance of the clubs did not check anyone at all and seemed to be there just in case of disturbances.

Anyway, with the laptop battery running low and the wordcount running high, I think I shall bring this blog entry to a close, Malta has been a great week, not because of the scenery outside, but because of the things I learned while stuck inside. That being said, all good things must come to and end, and it will be good to be home again, with my wife, my children, and my Athlon 2.8 with the gig of Corsair RAM and dual monitors at 1600x1200.
