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. 🙂

That seems faster than I remember most products quick scans taking….

    I am officially a stud, according to Google: Search for “do that to me one more time i can never get enough of a man like you” Someone actually searched for that, and actually came here.
