Work, work, work

Lots of database stuff to do today. Since we do billing 45 days out from the due date, this upcoming billing cycle actually represents the first 2003 cycle. What that means for me is that in order to to do some queries against the upcoming accounts and what they’ve been paying over the last 3 years, I have to export all of the 2002 dues payments and then include that information in the new queries that I have to write that will incorporate dues from 2000-2002, rather than 1999-2001 as they have been.

Sound confusing? It is. Suffice it to say, I’ll be getting quite a bit of practice in handling data in Access over the next few hours. 🙂

It’ll be an “office door shut” type of project. It’s just confusing enough to make interruptions a very bad thing.

    This should, but won’t, end the discussion about the safety of age verification laws. What privacy advocates warned would happen as we continued to force everyone to verify their identity online has happened, and 153 million people worldwide have had their data breached. That’s a nightmare. A nightmare many of us saw coming.

  • On the road again..

    Got the AV definitons rolled back on my machine and the AV working again. The Live Update reports no new updates are available, which makes me think that either the update file that I grabbed yesterday is bad, or is incompatible with our older version of the software. Oh well, it’s probably about time we…

    Don’t you just hate when an extension update kills off your whole Firefox installation and you have to completely uninstall it, delete all the profile info and start over? Yeah me too. Goodbye Tabbed Browser Extensions. Going to try it with the Tabbed Browser Preferences extension instead. Update: a response from Craig with some interesting…
