One of the best features in drizzle for me is its flexible replication, i built rabbitreplication about a year ago which replicates from drizzle to basically anything over rabbitmq.
As someone who works for an online gambling company where we are not even allowed to use the product we are building (legal/trust issues i guess), it would _rock_ to be able to have this kind of impact on features
I switched to dvorak with a http://typematrix.com keyboard about 10 months ago and not looking back, only drawback is that i cant type on the laptop anymore. Having the enter and backspace keys in the middle of the keyboard is truly the biggest benefit for me, hitting enter with a "strong" finger really makes a difference.
The main reason i switched to dvorak was that i wanted a typematrix keyboard and if i was relearning where the enter key etc is, i could as well switch to dvorak.
It took about three months to be as fast as qwerty.
