I thought I’d mention the sort of database-related work I’ve done on contract, in case any of you might be needing some help, or just so you can be awed by my mad skills. I haven’t done a lot of contract work, but there are a lot of blogs and CMS’s out in the world, [...]

DBA without a D
It’s been 4 weeks. It’s been great, actually. For the most part. As ridiculous as this may sound, I feel as if I’m having a life-changing experience, because I’ve been working so hard for so long that I didn’t think I was capable of stopping.

Mystery t-shirt
Since I’m not working I’ve been taking the opportunity to not get dressed until absolutely necessary, which is fine until you get Fedex arriving at your door and you suddenly have to find some pants. I’m not sure I’ve ever answered the door to unexpected delivery people in proper attire, but sadly I’m never in [...]
