lots of stuff happens sometimes

Wow it’s been a long time with no blogging.. Just thought I’d post some abbreviated updates.

The lease on my current place runs out on the 31st, so I’m looking for rooms again.

I saw Fever Ray at Shepard’s Bush Empire on Thursday. It was amazing.

At Last.fm we’ve been working hard on the next iteration of search (with neat auto-completion) and launched a beta to subscribers on Wednesday.

I’ve been playing with HBase, and loaded a 700 million cell table into a 5 node cluster with no problems at all. I’m also setting up this mini cluster so I can run Dumbo jobs over HBase.

Also of note: Last.fm is hiring.

    That’s a shame you have to look for a new place.
    I can be such a pain to find somewhere.

    Other stuff sounds like things are going well though.
    Awesome.
