Looks like our blog has turned into a MySQL blog over this week, so I have to do something about it. Luckily, I have zillions of pending posts, so I'll start with posting my presentations materials from this conference with my remarks on how it went in general.
Beth Breidenbach, having braved a week thick with posts from the MySQL Conference, has published the 42nd edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs, on Confessions of a database geek.
We are assisting one of our clients with a data conversion project and have used a feature that I was surprised so few people knew about. It is the multi-table insert.
Day three at MySQL Conference 2007
Starting out bright and early again. I have a feeling Martin and Yannick might gang up on me for waking them up so early every morning and making sure we are on our way at 7am sharp, but it's worth it. We did make it here for the keynotes.
It seems Google couldn't wait to have their code evaluated for merging into the main source tree, and decided to release it to the general public as patches to 4.0.26 for the community to evaluate. What have we added and enhanced?
My presentation went well, I had a packed room, no standing room either. It is quite interesting that in spite of the fact that there have been a few tuning presentations already, there's still interest in more. A quick question revealed the room was quite evenly split between DBAs and Developers..
Here you go — slides of the presentation. I will probably blog on the presentation and any interesting questions I got, but that will have to wait till after the conference.
The keynotes started with MÃ¥rten Mickos, the CEO of MySQL AB giving us a "State of MySQL" address. Keeping all the people together in a company where 70% of the employees work from home and are distributed across hundreds of cities across the world is no easy task, and I have a lot of respect for him.
I snuck into the 5.1 new features session halfway through but definitely well worth it. Lots of new features coming out in 5.1 though Brian Aker admits some of them are not quite production-ready yet, so don't go deploying it just yet.

This survey deals with 1/f noise in homogeneous semiconductor samples. A distinction is made between mobility noise and number noise. It is shown that there always is mobility noise with an α value with a magnitude in the order of 10-4. Damaging the crystal has a strong influence on α, α may increase by orders of magnitude. Some theoretical models are briefly discussed none of them can explain all experimental results. The α values of several semiconductors are given. These values can be used in calculations of 1/f noise in devices

She did not keep me informed of my case, did not answer questions and did not evaluate my case before providing legal advice. She was sarcastic in her responses to me when I questioned her about various issues and had to threaten to call the bar association before I was given a refund. Did not seem to care at all about my case.
Posted by Susan
Jacquelyn is currently representing me in a child support/custody modification case. She has kept me well informed through this whole process. Jacquelyn truly cares about her clients and will fight for you. She is tough when she needs to be, but also one of the sweetest attorneys I've ever met. Custody disputes are very stressful situations and Jacquelyn has gone above and beyond to set my nerves at ease. I have complete and total trust in her, which is something I've never had in another attorney. If you are going through a divorce or custody dispute, I highly recommend Jacquelyn Tomlinson.
Posted by a Child Custody client
You will not find a more hard-working, determined, capable, or compassionate attorney than Jacquelyn Tomlinson. Based on my experience with her (and other attorneys), I believe that she sets the standard for client-focused practice and is a master at putting her clients at ease no matter the difficulty of their situations. I was a wreck when I came to see her after being sued by my ex-wife but Jacquelyn quickly put my mind at ease. She skillfully and timely handled my child custody case and I was thrilled with the results. She made herself available to me whenever possible to discuss my case and, given my experience with other attorneys, I find this to be a rare and priceless characteristic for an attorney. I would recommend her to anyone who finds himself or herself needing a domestic-relations attorney.

Whenever you are going through a bad divorce you look for an attorney who will be tough as nails against the opposition and be kind and compassionate to your situation. Jacquelyn Tomlinson is that attorney. I could not be more pleased with the handling and outcome of my case. Jacquelyn really took time to explain every step of the process in detail and was extremely patient and understanding. She listened to my concerns and made them her priority. She was always very prompt in her responses to me and I felt that she was truly on my side. She is extremely trustworthy and I felt that she billed me fairly. She kept me well informed at every step and gave me options of how to proceed. She is very knowledgeable about the law and worked well with all involved. I was extremely pleased with her representation of my case and would highly recommend her services to anyone.
Posted by a Domestic Violence client
In my opinion, I think that Ms. Tomlinson is one of the best attorney's in Montgomery. She is very responsive and always kept me up to date and informed. There is no doubt that Ms. Tomlinson will continue to be successful with her career and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments today over whether police should have the right to search cellphones without a warrant. Two appeals have reached the high court with law enforcement experts and privacy advocates on two sides of the issue.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The Supreme Court is hearing arguments today about the legality of warrantless cell phone searches. Americans are protected from warrantless searches by the Fourth Amendment, however police have made a habit of searching cell phones for additional evidence during arrests.
Privacy advocates say that searching the cellphones goes too far, especially given the wealth of data available on a smartphone. A search of a smartphone can reveal more than whom people talk to, it can also reveal one's political and religious affiliation as well as what they read and do online. Police say this is important because it can provide additional clues and leads in criminal investigations.
Millions of people want this one common thing, but they can't find one. What is it?
Privacy advocates respond that police should not have access to this information without a warrant and that it is akin to entering a person's bedroom for a search.
It's true. Going through a person's cellphone isn't like simply going through their pockets.
The American Library Association, which catalogs digital information, said in a brief to the court, "What Americans are reading is ordinarily none of the government's business," and that because these devices can be used to read material on the web, it should require special permission for the police to access it.
However, police say that smartphones can be used to endanger officers, especially when a suspect is detained. Smartphones can detonate explosives, call or warn accomplices, or erase evidence.
A brief filed on behalf of 15 states with the court explained "Cellphones are not only capable of providing valuable evidence of a criminal offense, but are also often an instrumentality of a crime."
Previous court cases have yielded different results. In a 209 California case, police arrested a man who was later convicted with cellphone evidence of having a gang affiliation and transporting weapons. He was originally pulled over for having expired tags. Because his license was suspended, police searched his car and found more evidence of crime, and also went into his cellphone to learn he was affiliated with a gang.
California courts have upheld the search as legal.
Meanwhile, a case in Boston involved a man arrested for selling drugs. His phone rang in the police station and police traced the number to an apartment where they found more drugs and a gun. An appeals court tossed the conviction.
The two cases are Riley v. California and U.S. v. Wurie and the high court is expected to rule by late June.

Roland Emmerich honored with the Crystal Quill Award for Shakespeare drama 'Anonymous'
Sony is holding a special screening of Roland Emmerich's "Anonymous" tonight on the lot after bowing the film at Toronto last month. The occasion isn't typical, though. Emmerich is on hand, along with entertainment attorney and author Bert Fields, to receive the Crystal Quill Award for contributions to the Shakespeare authorship debate.
"Anonymous," of course, depicts the Oxfordian point of view, that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was the true author of William Shakespeare's classic works. The film was actually met with a slightly more welcoming reaction at Toronto than I had originally anticipated.
You might recall I was a huge fan of the film when I saw it just before Telluride. "I think it's [Emmerich's] best work yet," I wrote at the time. "[Screenwriter John] Orloff has spun a fascinating yarn, itself of near Shakespearean tragedy. It's a complex interplay of relationships and motives, incest and politics that is ultimately about the power of the written word to change hearts and minds, the enduring nature of art and, above all, the integrity of an artist."
Which makes me wonder -- shouldn't Mr. Orloff be receiving this attention? After all, this is his script, one that pretty much bottomed out in the wake of "Shakespeare in Love" and he waited over a decade to finally see someone translate it to the screen. By all means, let's give Emmerich a big pat on the back for his work here, but Orloff is barely mentioned once in passing in the press release. And even that is a perfunctory "the film was written by" notation in the synopsis of the film. Screenwriters. It was ever thus.
Anyway, I still stand by my assessment of the film. The more I think about "Anonymous," the more I feel like it's one of the year's very best. It stands a fair shot at receiving awards attention, I think, and could be a stealthy player in this year's race. I'm still holding out hope that Rhys Ifans can get a leg up for his lead actor performance with at least a notice here or there. It's stellar work.
Of course, Sony has an embarrassment of riches this year, so who knows which way the wind will blow for them?
Crystal Quill, by the way, is "a high profile event that celebrates the importance of Arts Education by acknowledging Shakespearean actors, directors, scholars, and educators that inspire appreciation for Shakespeare through film, performance, and research that supports high quality arts learning experiences," the mission reads. Recent honorees have included director Baz Luhrmann and producer Mark Gordon.
"Anonymous" hits theaters nationwide on Friday, October 28.

Here at CHOAM, we love to live at the junction of creating and learning. In fact, it's one of the primary reasons I became a programmer. As a little kid with my TI 99/4A I could create software I never dreamed possible. Sitting down with my BASIC compiler, I could type a few lines of code and suddenly do something that I could never do before. I've been creating ever since, the ability to create was too addictive to let go.
Software is a world where you need to improve your skills everyday.1 That's a heavy toll, but a wonderful one, because you're always just about underwater, you're always challenged. But, and this is the wonderful part, you're always discovering. Every day as a developer is a day that I am doing something that I haven't done before. Whether it's creating a new architecture, or just improving a workflow. Everyday is about improvement.
Problems with The Ever-Deployable Git Workflow
I've been using my Ever-Deployable Git Workflow for a few months now with much success. It's been a great way to keep a project up to speed with multiple people working on multiple issues with barely any conflict. Still, nothing is perfect.
One thing I've found is that naming branches is problematic. Few people want to type "git checkout -b make-javascript-popups-easier-to-maintain," it's just too long. Also, searching through a long list of issues with names like that just gets troublesome. What is John working on? Oh, something about making Javascript popups better. Well, is that Issue #216? The one about JS file location? Or is it Issue #384?
This brings up two ways that we can make the Ever-Deployable Github workflow better. First, unify with the issue tracker, and second, make better branch names.
The Github Issue Tracker
Github's issue tracker is probably one of the least functional issue trackers I've ever used. It basically has nothing you'd expect or want. It's little more than a title, some text, and maybe a label.
For that reason, it's the best issue tracker I've ever used.
How many of us get sucked into the feature set of a piece of software and end up spending all of our time maintaining the software. Github's issue tracker forces us to avoid that tendency by not giving us that feature set. It's brilliant. All I can do is write a title, write a description, and then get back to work. It makes logging issues super fast. So recently, I've started to take advantage of that. I log issues for nearly every small, atomic change I want to make.
Furthermore, you can close issues with commit messages like "Fixes #216 by shuffling the JS files as if they were a deck of cards," and the commit then gets linked to the closed issue automagically. It's really a great system.
10 Steps to a Better Workflow
So, we have a way that we can quickly make issues to log things we want to change. And we want to get rid of insanely long branch names. Why don't we branch the issue? This means our branch name is minimally descriptive, but there is as much description as we want in the actual issue. Using this methodology, our new Github Workflow is this:
- Only work on documented issues. The idea here is that no one is ever just blindly mucking about in the code without a documented reason2
- Look to see if anyone else is working on the issue you are going to start.
- Create an issue describing work to be done, or use an existing issue
- Create a branch using that issue number. We use "issueNUM" as the branch name, so something like "git checkout -b issue516″
- Immediately, before doing any work, push that branch back to master: "git push origin issue516." This tells everyone that someone is actively working on this issue. This is why you don't work on undocumented issues. It's very easy to know what the entire team is working on.
- Work on your code following The Ever-Deployable Github Workflow. Making commits fairly atomically, or as atomically as your team decides.3
- Rebase to master
- Commit the branch with a final message like "Fixes #517 by doing lots of stuff."
- Push to remote, submit your pull request, and "git checkout -b <nextIssueNumber>"
- Lather, rinse, and repeat
Fixing other things along the way
This workflow has done a few things for us. One, it encourages atomic work on the code. By that, I mean it encourages us to stay away from commits that change "a little of this, little of that." We are working on a single issue, and our branch is named with that issue. So we focus on that issue.
If we want to fix other, most often very small, issues during the work, we fix them in a single commit, and log that in the commit message "Fixes #214 by changing something, since I'm here already." If we want to fix bigger issues, we do it a bit differently.
For instance, say we are working on our issue #516, and during that, we come up with a decent way to correct another issue, say issue #212, that comes up because of our work on this one, but which we don't want to dump right into production- maybe we have to test it more:
git checkout -b issue516 git push origin issue516 … do some work and decide to fix issue 212, but not to push it to production without first finishing 516 git checkout -b issue212 git push origin issue212 … fix 212 and commit git commit -am "Fixes #212 by mucking about in the code" git push origin issue212 git checkout issue516 … continue working on issue 516 git commit -am "Fixes #516" … then do the standard git rebase workflow: git checkout master git pull origin master git checkout issue516 git rebase master … Then submit your pull request for Issue 516. Now, it's a good time to push up 212 git checkout issue212 git rebase issue516 git push origin issue212
With this, issue212 is fixed on top of issue516 and is ready for either a pull request or more review and work. From a git log perspective, it appears that issue 516 was completed, and then issue 212 was completed. Nice and clean.
I've been using this workflow on various teams for about 2 months now, and it's working out extremely well. I'd be interested in what you think.
- Admittedly, there are those who don't. But I try to keep them far away from my projects. Nothing is more dangerous than a developer who is happy at being stale [↩]
- or at least without creating an issue like "Issue #516: Blindly mucking about in the code" [↩]
- I like smaller commits, since they are easier to review and revert [↩]

Get Out Of a Date
by Slacker and Steve
posted Jun 5 2014 6:18PM
If you're out on a date and you're net really connecting with the other person, what do you do? Obviously, you have a friend call you with an "emergency." Duh! But now there's an App that will do it for you! It is called Guardian Angel.
Slacker this app makes technology so horrible. He has used fake-a-call. That's also an app you can use to get out of stuff. One of the apps actually has a person call you so it looks legit. Before smart phones and technology, you had to have your friends call you. He got married to get out of a bad date. This girl called the radio station and he meets her. He didn't have a connection with her at all. He needed saving. His ex-wife came up to the girl and was like, "Is my husband flirting with you?" And then after that they really got married.
Steve never says goodbye to anyone ever. There's a moment where Steve ghosts out of the place. On dates, he has wanted to do that. He sees the date through to make sure she got home safe. When he worked nights at Alice he used to set up these blind dates and would bring radio station swag. If the blind date wasn't working out he would say he was a PR guy for the station and give the girl the shirt or whatever the swag was that night.
What excuse have you used to get out of a date?
I have used every excuse in the book to get out of dates. The best one was when I said my cat had her kittens and I had to leave to make sure she was oaky. I didn't even have a cat. Ha!

Allow us to leave "favorites" as primary tweet selection
I'm confused about why it is that you have the "favorites" selection, but I have to select "favorites" every single time I go to tweet. What's the point? I thought Hootsuite was supposed to make Twitter faster. 900 clicks doesn't do that.
Make favorites a default option that shows unless you ask for all... this new system is awful... and/or allow for reordering of accounts so you put facebook twitter and a couple of others up at the top easily, or switch it around if you're working for a different client, so that you don't have to scroll all the way down to pick your accounts.. it's NOT user friendly... you've got to make improvements PLEASE!!!
Currently the web dashboard makes you select the social media account you are posting to from your complete list of accounts – which for some users, e.g. in agencies, can be very, very long. (And potentially a little risky.)
It would be great if we could have the option of defaulting to our Favourites, so we wouldn't have to scroll through the others. That is, like this: http://ow.ly/i/2jceN.
In the post area the selection "show only favourites" should be remembered for the next post.
Now it reverts to "show all" after posting which is quite a hassle.
We have Enterprise, which means we have a lot of social media channels to select from in the compose dropdown. Having the ability to favorite certain ones is great. Let's take that a step further and allow a settings change so that the _default_ list is the Favorites rather than the whole company.
We'll examine the use case scenario for adding the Favorite button to the main button selection instead of the drop down menu.

I was thinking something very similar while using the hootsuite hootlet extension for chrome. I was thinking the drop down button should be sticky, so that the last thing you selected would be the default. Selecting favorites would make the default favorites until you selected show all again.
Dominik Deobald commented
BTW: I think Brian was talking about the "favorite accounts" selection, not about favoriting tweets.
Dominik Deobald commented
I would also prefer to show "Favorites" only as default and an option where I can switch to "all" manually. Why not remember the last state when the popup was open?

Save the Waves: A Look at Endangered Coastal Environment
In response to cries of "save the waves," the average citizen would likely ask: "From what?" The oceans are unfathomably large environmental juggernauts. Surely waves will continue to roll into shore just as they always have, right? Wrong. Coastal environments, especially the surf zones, face great peril. Many great waves are already extinct, and more may follow if no one intervenes.

Forced birth homunculus Calvin Freiburger, who is a member of the HeartBeat Teens (which is surprisingly not a sexy boy-band), wishes to express his distaste with ladies who take their vaginas out for an evening of abortion bowling:
Breitbart.com's Susan Berry reports on one of the pro-abortion movement's more colorful fundraising ideas in recent memory: the National Network of Abortion Funds' third annual National Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon. Unfortunately, in this case, "colorful" means "completely tasteless":
If you choose to bowl instead of golf to support abortion, you can opt to be on one of many teams with names like, Bowlin' for 'Bortions, Kiss Our Uter-Ass, If Only Limbaugh's Mom Used Birth Control, No Rosaries On My Ovaries, and teams that contain names for women's private parts that only Bill Maher feels comfortable saying. Did we hear a certain incumbent president talk about civility once?
Other (relatively safe for work) highlights include "coat hangers," "Hyde Strikers," and the "Abowlifacients." And yes, the organizers approve of all these "brilliant" names.
Why can't ladies bowling teams use nice bowling team names like The Gutterballs or The Shockers like men do? Funny and appropriate.
And if that is not bad enough, these sluttrollops (whose legs are probably always in a 7-10 split if you know what I mean and I think you do) are also raising money in George Tiller's name which is very disappointing to Calvin after all the trouble his fellow forced pregnancy buddies went through in order to murder him because … Jesus.
But, wait! there is more! as Calvin actually wrote:
…here's the cherry topping off (sic) this sundae of shame:
NNAF receives funding from more than several tax-exempt foundations, among them the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation which has funded ACORN and the Tides Foundation and Tides Center.
[your proper response should be…]: [cont'd.]
Calvin, again … nasal whine … blah blah blah..
We never hear the end of how churches need to keep their mouths shut about politics lest they endanger their tax-exempt status, but tax-exempt groups on the other side can donate to the most radical, brazenly partisan organizations on the block? Personally, I'm not particularly fond of tax-exempt statuses in general – to me, it smacks too much of trying to buy organizations' silence – but can we have a little consistency here, please?
Calvin knows as much about tax-exempt organizations and the laws that govern them as he does about vaginas, which is to say … not.
I know. Surprising, hunh?

Dawson County officials believe they can save thousands of dollars in fuel costs by buying in bulk with other counties, cities and school systems.
A picnic Monday at War Hill Park showed appreciation to those who have worked to improve the campground, which is set to open today.

The Dawson County Board of Commissioners voted last Thursday to seek the public's input on changing the structure in which planning commissioners are appointed and serve.
Chickens get out at night, sweeper trucks clean up parking lots after businesses close and on occasion, water pipes burst after dark. All three examples make noise.

The Dawson County Board of Commissioners is considering a change to the structure by which planning commissioners are appointed and the terms they serve.
Dawson County citizens will soon have the opportunity to save up to 20 percent on their prescription drug costs.
Dawson County is looking for ways to trim nearly $5 million from its 2009 operating budget to make up for a drop in revenue during the economic downturn.
For the first time, Keep Dawson County Beautiful has partnered with Atlanta Recycling Solutions of Alpharetta to hold an electronic's recycling day in Dawson County.

The turn this thread has taken makes me laugh. Mostly, because I laugh at myself. I didn't think I'd want a scooter... all those years of riding motorcycles... I liked the "chunk" when shifting my Harleys - it sounded manly ... the "snick" when shifting my BMW sounded gentlemanly. Running through the gears, being in the right RPM range going in and coming out of corners - it was part of what made the experience so satisfying... being "in touch" with the machine.
I thought I'd feel like I was missing something with a CVT scooter. I even said pretty much that same thing to my wife in my why-we-don't-want-scooters part of the initial discussion. She countered with, "Your favorite thing on the truck is that Allison transmission - I've heard you say that to your friends." I hate when she uses my words to make her point... seriously, how do you argue with that?
When we first got the scoots, my left foot would twitch when I'd feel the need to shift... then, the scooter would do its thing and just keep accelerating. No fuss. I could gesture with my left hand at a stop light! Better than no fuss, this thing was like a magic carpet! Twist to go, squeeze to stop...easy, light weight, and just plain fun.
I think it's great that folks can enjoy a smelly ol' 2 stroke (I like the sound and smell of big ol' diesel engines on the boats I drive)... I don't want to be behind them at a long stoplight, though. And, if a person needs to shift something to enjoy the ride, I get that - hey, some drivers need to fuss with the radio all the time. Them shifting doesn't diminish my fun, no-shift experience. I am confident in my masculinity and know I still "control" this machine, even though all I have to do is twist the throttle. The scoot doesn't roar, it purrs. And I smile. Sometimes I just laugh out loud. This thing doesn't look "scooter traditional." It doesn't "announce my presence" as I pull up in front of an establishment. It is smooth, sleek, runs like a Timex watch, and does what I ask of it, almost like it can read my mind!
If others don't get that slick, no-fuss experience is a big part of the pleasure I get when riding these scoots, it doesn't make them luddites... I'm glad they have the opportunity to turn the clock back 40 years and enjoy their experience.
Ride your ride. It isn't a lifelong commitment - switch to something shifty any time you want. Putting down someone else's choice says more about you than them.
Many years ago, I bought my first Harley, a Sportster. I paid cash and felt I had "arrived." A guy I know (wouldn't necessarily call him a friend) said, "Yeah, that's almost a Harley." At first I was shocked that he was trying to piss on my parade, then I came to the conclusion that his opinion didn't really mean jack squat. Kinda like arguments on both sides of this discussion. I got over buying stuff to impress anyone a long time ago - I get what suits me. Well, as long as my wife says it's OK.

As I have said, I bought one of the first CVT scooters in 1984, and when I drive it, I really enjoy the CVT. Shifting the Heinkels is a lot of work in comparison. The reason I almost always use the Heinkel has nothing to do with the shifting.

While I appreciate your argument (that there are moral implications to using new technologies, and new ≠ better) it falls flat when applied to this thread. CVT drives have been in use in various applications since the late 1800's, and were conceived of in 1490. The Zeneth Gradua is the earliest use of a CVT in a motorcycle that I am aware of. They were banned from hillclimb competition because of the "unfair advantage" provided by their transmission (the other competitors being limited to a single gear ratio due to the lack of multispeed gearboxes at the time). http://thevintagent.blogspot.com/200...ie-barnes.html

You are correct about the CVT. It does not use any electronic technology at all. My rant got started by a word used by CaptnJim. Luddite. Most consider it to be an insult. I take it as a compliment, even though that was not the way it was intended. Go back to the beginning of the word.
1. Any of a group of British workers who between 1811 and 1816 rioted and destroyed laborsaving textile machinery in the belief that such machinery would diminish employment.
2. One who opposes technical or technological change.
As for number one, I think it was a noble thing they did. And they were right. If only see how far that has progressed today. Out of a job? You can thank technology for that.
As for number two, that describes me perfectly, for a great number of reasons. And no, I don't want to go back to the 1700s. For me, technology reached it's zenith during the late 1960s/early 1970s. Things had become reliable and worked well. Since then, things have been going downhill, with new technology doing more harm than good.
But back to the CVT. On paper it looks like it should work, and in practice it actually does work fairly well. It lacks the gear ratio range of a manual transmission, but on the other hand it is far simpler. It's main problem seems to be lack of durability. And that looks like it could be solved by using better materials to build them out of. High quality steel pulleys, steel rollers that do not develop flat spots, and belts that last a lot longer. The problem is that this would cost more, make the vehicle cost more, they wouldn't sell as well, and there would be less money made. It must be really frustrating for an engineer to work for a bean counter.

Things hadn't become as "reliable or worked as well in the late '60s/early'70's" as you may think they have, now looking back from late 2013. Cars and PTW's weren't "exactly" at the same place reliability, durability, safety, and efficiency-wise back then.
Having worked in a Goodyear Tire & Auto Center through my HS years keeping a car, domestic or otherwise on the towards 100k was a challenge to the owner, and a boon to the service center. A car with over 100k and still viable?...a rarity.
Even the VW, a "technological" marvel in it's day suffered from the need for super frequent valve adjustments, common #3 cylinder problems, engine fires (hose clamps on fuel lines? We don't need no stinking hose clamps on fuel lines!), clutch cable breakage, heaters that didnt heat, and other idiosyncrasies.
Older Vespas (Ive owned and adored my share of these) can easily be made to soft seize, suffer from clutch cable breakage, have marginal (by todays standards) brakes and suspension, require pretty frequent shift cable adjustment, and other faults pertinent to that "technology".
The human psyche tends to remember only the positive, and forget the negative when recalling things from the deep annals of time. (Anyone who has ever thought getting back together with an old flame for instance was a good idea, then quickly realizes they "forgot" about much of the stuff they didnt like first time around, or at least hoped those qualities somehow disappeared during the interim knows this to be true)
Point Im really trying to make is...these are the good old old days!
I'm not attempting to diminish your preference for older, simpler stuff, but an appreciation for the fact that machines evolve constantly, and your 1970's technology Vespa or VW or Model T was once cutting edge, but still frought with imperfections.
This is the exact same scenario you're faced with now, and while it doesn't make the new stuff less "good", (or more good ) but it is what it is. We live in a snapshot in time, and someday someone will likely be espousing these good old days when "internal combustion powered CVTs ruled the roads", and "why Hydrogen powered scooters aren't so reliable or soulful to ride!"
So, enjoy what you enjoy...nostalgia is a very strong tonic which you seem predisposed to and thats cool. For those of us who see the bigger picture, and can appreciate what todays "technology" is, what brought it to this point, and can get enjoyment across that broader spectrum of vehicles thats cool too.
Count me into the latter group, and you wont hear me "dissing" the old stuff, or judging riding skills by what a man is piloting....

Easy there, big fella (Jerry H)...
Here is the exact quote where I used the term Luddite:
"If others don't get that slick, no-fuss experience is a big part of the pleasure I get when riding these scoots, it doesn't make them luddites... I'm glad they have the opportunity to turn the clock back 40 years and enjoy their experience. "
See that high-lighted, italicized word: DOESN'T???
As in: I'm defending those who like their machines any damn way they like 'em. You like 'em old, I like 'em new, with modern technology. That doesn't make your preference right and mine wrong or vice versa.
I NEVER said you or anyone else is a Luddite.
Last I checked, everyone here is entitled to their own ridiculous opinion, as long as they don't get nasty. You folks here have never seen me nasty. I save that for special occasions that generally involve life and/or limb. Whether someone thinks fuel injection or CVT is good or bad sure as hell doesn't fall into that category. I may tease a bit, 'cause that's just the way I am... but, I am NOT in the shit business... don't give it, don't take it.
More than once, I have written here "ride your ride." I don't put down anyone else's choice, don't see the benefit in others doing that. On more than one occasion when the villagers have wanted to head to Chandler with pitchforks and torches (or get moderators involved), I have defended your right to your opinion. And, I have called "bullshit" on an occasion when what you said was... well, bullshit.
I don't need anyone putting words in my mouth OR twisting my words. I'm a married guy - my mouth gets me into trouble enough at home, even when I don't mean for that to happen. I like this forum and the folks who make it interesting.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. The rest of us are entitled to ignore that opinion if we don't agree. I don't see the point in arguing something like CVT... like it or don't. I'm gonna ride mine and enjoy it.
Here's some advice you can take or not: when someone is defending you, don't read it wrong and take to the dictionary to see if you've been wronged.

When I jokingly threw down the gauntlet, a term of chivalry used in defending one's medieval lady love -my girlie Vespa in that case- I got a multi paragraph rant from the cheerful captain turning my joke into a life or death accusation. Not a pleasant riposte. So in an effort to redirect the conversation here is a happy picture of my cvt Vespa 60 miles from home at Windley Key State Park.
No problem keeping up with and passing cages on the overseas highway.
