Another weekend at the Captain SQL home of database excellence. Finding more and more reasons to put off work around the house. No guilt about this at all. Bwahahahah! My daughter is with me during the summer, and she showed me her High School yearbook. Times have changed at the place. Years ago you needed to name three Jewish holidays an 15 varieties of pasta to graduate, but the ethnic balance has changed a bit. Her picture was flanked by two future losers of America. The one on the right had a terrific Russian name. With a name like that you'd think he'd be organizing purges, crushing Hungarian freedom fighters, or pounding the table with his shoe at the U.N. But he actually went out with her during homecoming, and the guy made Napoleon Dynamite look like James Bond.
BTW, for the benefit of all you female readers out there, us dads do keep a secret database of every boy that has so much as looked at you for more than .3 nanoseconds. Their attributes are stored and archived for 25 years. Believe me, the results aren't pretty.
So we got a reprieve on the existing technology at work, but I figure it will roll out in about 4 years. Our Systems Architects can't wrap their little pea-brains around the concept of systems that run well and don't need rebuilding scheduling and security every time a user farts. So it's time to pick the next whiz-bang operating system to visit. But that's for another day.
