One of my “short term” goals for IAM is to port it over to using a SQL database, which would give me a great deal more options in the longrun. I haven't worked with SQL databases since the 1980s, and to be honest, I haven't worked with databases of any kind that I didn't design personally from start to finish since probably 1997 or so. Anyway, that meant I needed to pick up a refresher course… While at the bookstore this evening I picked up a book on that, on Web Caching techniques, as well as Henk's tattoo book and a book on Cannabis history, along with a slew of business magazines.
At checkout, they have to clear the security devices in some books… Big surprise: only the pot book had a security device. I guess that computer hackers and tattooed people don't tend to steal stuff, but you can't trust potheads? Dude, where's my car?
Now I'm going to drink a couple of XTC's and finally get to programming. I started working on the thing I was going to work on this morning, but then I realized I hadn't fully thought it out… So now I'm writing a slight upgrade to my email bots — in the past they could only handle attachments, rather than inline images, but now they'll handle the inlines as well…. Which is good, because many email applications really try and trick the user into sending “rich” email.
Why can't people just go back to sending plaintext emails?
