Database tweaks

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I just finished up some tweaks to our main database and I’m happy with myself. There’s something about making DB tweaks that just makes me happy. I think it’s sort of like solving a puzzle. Someone comes to you with information they want to start tracking, you ask them what type of information and what they plan to do with it, then you set out to configure something within the existing database that will let them do exactly that, easily. When it works out, and you get to design a little tweak that makes searching the info insanely easy, you’ve got to feel good. 🙂

    Yeah so yesterday at ITEC was basically a waste. To say I was underwhelmed by the show would be understating the fact. We’ll see how today goes, but I’m not going to kill myself to get back for any of day 2 today. (Hey, it still beats sitting in my office..*L*) I’ve got a bunch…

    Angela and I were all set to go to the Crew game tonight. The place where she used to work had some extra tickets, we were going to go hang in the VIP patio and just enjoy the game together. Unfortunately, shortly before we were due to leave, we found out that they wound up…

    We got to take a safari tour of The Wilds yesterday. We had been a few years back, but armed with some better camera equipment and a free pass to the extended safari, we were really excited to get out there and shoot some wildlife photos. It was quite fun. The highlight of the extended…
