Tony,

>> Amazing and thanks for that though I must admit I had trouble keeping at
all the 
>> info being thrown on to the screen. 

	[In reference to the webcast mentioned in a former note and found
here: http://www.sohodojo.biz/sqlyog]... Thanks back for the comment. :-)
The contest had a "soft limit" of around 5 minutes for the testimonials and
most were "throw-away" quickie-comments folks did to just get in the contest
drawing. I actually did want to do a real testimonial as SQLyog is truly one
of the must-have apps that I use to make my development life more efficient
and organized.

	Even with significant time-compression (fast motion) on the "live
action" segments and diligent editing (Camtasia is _amazing_ and fun), I was
only able to get my entry down to just over seven minutes.

	So, yes, there is a bit of "drinking from a fire-hose" dimension to
that webcast. The pause and rewind button can be your friend in this case...
:-) Perhaps, now that the contest is over, I'll do a "Director's Cut"
version to provide a more relaxed presentation. 

	And finally, so that folks don't think I am trying to push an agenda
about using SQLyog which is a commercial app (although they do kindly
provide a more-limited free version)... The strategy and tactics I describe
in my webcast are _ideas_ and recommendations about how one might organize
and manage a daily workflow with a dev/live Drupal site. While some of the
fine-grained tactics might be more conveniently done with SQLyog, the 'big
ideas' and most of the step-wise tactics are not dependent on that
application. You can take these ideas and apply them with any toolset you
might like. (Hint/nudge-nudge-wink-wink: I'm thinking that a drush script
along these lines might be an awesome addition to our community if somebody
wants to scratch that itch based on my webcast as a 'live use case' spec.)
