9/12    KALX recruitment meeting today, 7:30pm, 145 Dwinelle  - danh
        \_ I don't think that there are any undergrads on the motd...
           \_ We killed them and ate their souls.  -alum
           \_ Both alums and undergrads can be part of the station.
        \_ I was an undergrad last semester... I attended this meeting then...
           everyone I talked to was a complete putz. I offered to build
           a database w/ web interface for their music library and DJ
           playlists (which I've done professionally before) but there
           was already a team of incompetent DJ-cum-programmers on the job
           who had been putzing around with design docs for like 2 years.
           I gave up.
                \_ I am sorry to hear your input was not considered and sign
                        your name next time you want to insult people. -petr
                   \_ It's the motd.  He can insult putzes anonymously if he
                      wants to.
        \_ that "incompetent dj-cum-programmer" designs the interface
           between kaiser's patient database and the guys who
           pull up your data and ignore you when you call kaiser,
           he must know a thing or two. - danh
           \_ That explains a lot of my Kaiser problems....
        \_ KALX techwise is still in the stone ages...but at least there's
           finally digital editing equipment.  -warm w.o.e.
           \_ What is this "digital" of which you speak?  --KALX
                \_ The "D" in DAW. -petr
        \_ I'm a bit out of the loop, but I thought there was some newish
           equipment in the production studio...at least a step up from
           reel to reel...maybe "digital" is a stretch.   -wwoe
        \_ there's a Grand Plan to convert the carts to a digital
           format.

11/27   CalMail has been down for a few days (hardware failure and database
        corruption -- sounds like fun!) and is starting to come back online.
        Looks like they're planning to outsource all campus mail to either
        Google Apps or Microsoft 365 as part of Operational Excellence.

10/27   I just read an article that Facebook had moved their database
        to all SSD to speed throughput, but now I can't find it. Has
        anyone else seen this? Any experience with doing this? -ausman

9/23    I never took CS188, is there a good book that's an intro to formal
        database theory, normalization, etc.?  I've got experience with SQL
        (MySQL & MSSQL), and understand tables, etc.
        \_ You mean CS186?
           \_ Oops, yah.  188 is AI or something?
              \_ That's right.

9/9     Larry Ellison is a bigger idiot than I thought:
        http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/09/10/oracle-to-sun-customers-and-ibm-were-in-it-to-win-it
        \_ My company's customers are insurance companies. Non-tech corporates don't
           trust open source. Why risk it. They have tons at stake and are willing
           to spend for solid products, support, and consultants who don't have long
           hair. They're being raped by IBM mainframes for millions. An optimized

7/27    I have an actual technical question here. My MySQL DBA tells me
        that I can't expect a MySQL port to be able to run effectively
        on more than a two CPU box, he says that the extra CPUs will
        sit there unused. Is this true? I have a bunch of new quad core
        servers that I would like to use as Database machines. -ausman

5/6     I'm sure you've seen web sites that distribute software by making
        a user fill out a form and then e-mailing the user a randomly
        generate link to the software that works just once. What software
        is used to do this? I'd like to distribute software in such a way.

5/5     Is there a good (or standard) way to make an offline copy of a w

        \_ oh man.
           \_ I could cobble something together with curl / wget, but I'd
              rather not if there is a standard way of doing this.  I'm
              pretty new to wordpress / blogging and I just want to keep
