The things I’ve seen

This looks interesting:

We’re calling it Dabble, with emphasis on the Db: it’s a database system for dabblers. We’d naturally be happy if professional developers, DBAs, and business analysts find our system useful, but we won’t be satisfied until we have something that works for everyone in the millions of small businesses and teams for whom data management is purely a sideline, a necessary evil of doing whatever line of work they’re really in.

But more than that: Dabble is for everyone that wants to experiment with their data, evolve it, explore it, improve it incrementally and interactively. We like to think that Dabble is to most database systems as finger paints or plasticine are to granite and chisel: something that lets you stick your hands in your data, roll it around, play with it, and most importantly, never set in stone.

I think I’ll have to sign up and find out when it’s available to play with.

    Yes we are only working until noon today, which is cool. Angela and I are going to try and catch a showing of Gangs of New York this afternoon and dinner before the snow gets too bad this evening. I probably won’t be blogging again until I’m back at work on Thursday, so let me…

  • Remote Desktop

    Gee with everything else going on around here, I forgot to tell you all about my trial run with Remote Desktop last night. It’s not exactly as sure-fire simple as the Sales guys made it out to be the few times I asked about it. First I setup the XP box at work to accept…

    It seems that my latest webcam pic, which was taken after a successful install of Red Hat 7.1 as a “play and learn” installation, has gotten the attention of non other than Lockergnome’s head Penguin himself, Tony Steidler-Dennison. Like I said in Tony’s comments, I’m still getting paid to be a Windows guy but what’s…
