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. 🙂

    Where the Vendors Go

    Just want to add a couple of further thoughts about ILTA that didn’t occur during one of the sessions. One of the more interesting things about ILTA is that, with all the legal technology vendors in one place, it’s a great place to compare them, and get a feel for where the market is going…

  • When you’re a rock star

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    As we discovered last night at the Dave Matthews concert, when you’re a rock star you can walk up to the microhpone mumble something completely unintelligible, and people will cheer you for it! What a life! *L* Despite that, it was a good show, and Dave mumbles a little less when he sings. 🙂 My…
