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. 🙂

    Thanks to a pointer from the OneNote Tips list, I found a couple of new OneNote Powertoys that involve sending images to OneNote, either using a virtual printer driver to print to OneNote from any application, or Webpage to OneNote, which will load a webpage as an image.

    Hmm, now that I read that last post, the thoughts weren’t random at all. I originally started out thinking they would be, but it didn’t last long, I got off on a tangent that wound up being the whole post. I also meant to talk about the fact that I’ve added a handful of blogs…
