Database tweaks

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. 🙂

    Here’s some pictures to show you what things around here are like today. It’s probably a good thing we both had today off work for President’s Day, there’s no way we would have made it. Especially not when you consider the one car that could handle the snow better is in the shop! Great timing!…

  • Cleveland

    Yes, I’ll be in Cleveland for the In The Trenches Geek dinner with Kevin next week. I got all the details at work finalized so that I could be off Thursday afternoon to drive up there, and also Friday because I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a photo tour of the Cuyahoga Valley…
