Yesterday was my last day working in Philips. I throughly enjoyed the last 7 years that I spent here where I learned a lot of stuff, from my mistakes as well as from the new technology/areas that I explored. Also, I made a lot of good friends, who had a very good influence on me, and I will always cherish the moments that I spent with them. And now, the time has come to start anew and to face new challenges.

I am joining Intuit Bangalore as a Software Architect. I am quite excited about this opportunity. From all the interactions that I had so far, Intuit look like a very promising place to work.

When I logged into MT after a long time, I was surprised to find that all the previous comments were missing!! After some googling found that the problem was caused by a corrupt mt_comment table. I tried to do a repair by issuing the following command.


REPAIR TABLE mt_comment

But this didn't help.

I then used MySQL Administrator (GUI tools) and selected repair on the table with the following settings.

Repair Table option

This fixed the problem.
