Very good. I'm pointing http://hurdcatz.com and http://hurdingcatz.com to MariaDB's web site...until I get a legal letter from Oracle.

(Actually every fourth load it goes to Bluehost instead, I have to look at my BIND and Apache later...)

I will be very disappointed if a Register subeditor isn't cutting and pasting this for a headline.

Ellison, Hurd and Catz. It does sound like Groucho Marx should be playing at least one of them.

I started digging into companies with Co-CEOs and found this: "Research by consulting firm Mercer found that as of the end of 2008, just 34 of 6,487 public firms, or 0.5 percent, had co-CEOs."

Workday did it for about 8 years. Dave Duffield and Aneel Bhusri did pretty well, with Dave just stepping down a few months ago.
