Cool...what's with Portland hosting all of these conferences this year? The OpenStack summit starts here today.

Alex: At least one conference *involving* Portland people isn't in Portland--precisely. In another week, I'll be flying off to the joint Oregon/Washington Library Association Conference. It's WAY far from Portland...in Vancouver, WA. All the way across the river.

This presenter just told us that Excel "isn't really a database." Do people think it is? I must know more than I think about this topic!

Yes. People do think it is. All the time. It's directly related to how freakin' difficult Access is to use, IMHO.
- WebGoddess
Well, it is a base for data, but it isn't a conventional relational database, so that is why people say it isn't a proper database. Excel is so free form that it is often full of errors. A relational database separates the data from the application so the data always remains valid. Excel mixes data and application together, which is powerful, but as everything becomes larger and more complicated it all goes to hell.
- Todd Hoff
I think saying Excel isn't a database is like saying that Wordpad isn't a word processor. It may not be a relational database, but it's powerful, convenient, easy...and, of course, what Todd sez. Flash here: As one who worked on "real" databases for many years, I can tell you that they can go to hell just as rapidly as Excel can--and be a LOT tougher to recover from.
- Walt Crawford
Hell does seem the natural endpoint for most technical things :-)
- Todd Hoff
One of the reasons I would say Excel is not a database is that any fool can copy and paste, or delete, or move, any grid of cells at anytime, which completely separates the cells from any identifying "field" defined by a column or row label. In a database, the data is more tightly bound to the field.

Excel can be used as a flat file database, but so can a text editor.
- Eric - seven eleven
from iPhone
Right. The average text editor does really well at providing Pearson's Coefficient for 9,000 pairs of values and providing crosstab or "pivot" tables. I must be missing those functions.
- Walt Crawford
And I have a little too much experience with using commercial (programmable) software with true relational databases, and seeing the absolute garbage that can result from making reasonable assumptions, to believe that being a true database provides any real measure of security.
- Walt Crawford
Oh, and I should note that this was *my job* for a few years, full-time, after decades of systems design & programming. I'm not a total amateur in this area.
- Walt Crawford
Use Notepad++ ;) of course, I agree with you there. Also, I missed the thing on security, but there is much to discuss when it comes to database systems.
- Eric - seven eleven
from iPhone
I hate Excel. That is all.
- Lois Loves LB and Mr. B
Many people view a database as rows (records) and columns (fields) in an essentially 2 dimensional framework. Multiple worksheets doesn't really change that, but it at least brings about the beginnings of the multi-dimensional structure. Even today, the concept of a hierarchical database structure is foreign to many (most?) data users, even though it can be far more efficient in terms...

I think the only realistic way to avoid spoilers is to turn off the Internet until you watch/read whatever you don't want spoiled. Because the more you complain about spoilers, the more you're going to get trolled by spoilers.

It works. The only realistic way for me to avoid Tom Cruise is to not go to movies. Done! Easy peasy!

Hah! And I agree there are more serious things to worry about. But there's always going to be far more content that I haven't seen than content I have seen. I personally try not to spoil stuff. If I saw someone who intentionally trolls with spoilers a lot, I guess I'd block that person.

There was a big debate on a TV forum I read (TiVoCommunity.com) whether or not discussing the historical facts of what happened with Spartacus -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... -- was a spoiler for the Starz TV show --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Fortunately with Google Glass a spoiler system will be aware of what you have seen, parse everything you see, and filter out any spoilers. The future is safe.

I never post spoilers because I can never watch anything when it fucking airs. When I do I /still/ don't post spoilers. That's just evil.

I've tried this with dictation stuff and it turns out that (for me) it only seems like I'm doing my best writing in my head because my head glosses over all the bits you have to actually figure out when you're writing it down, like everything that isn't dialogue. Or other times, my head gets really prosey because a rant goes by faster in my head than it does on paper.

For some reason I have the feeling that we're going to hear about Facebook Home, right? Well, here's my take, it's all about engagement, the more you engage the more you click on ads, and ads are money, so Facebook Home is all about the money.

SInce Robert is in Miami, I'll say it: Facebook will be able to push notifications styled like Home "cards" to Google Glass too. Just change the presentation to horizontal and tweak to use Mirror API. Those Chat Heads could also be pushed to Google Glass, If you like that sort of thing.

By being the top-most layer app on the home screen, Facebook fans will be more likely to use Facebook services (check-ins, messaging, photos, even email) instead of using other apps "hidden" on the device. Smart. They really want a Facebook app-centric phone.
- Alex de Soto
Now, on a more simplistic level - Facbook Home is a worse launcher itself than any of the older, more crude versions of Android. It's a regression for launcher features.

I disagree. HTML5 has resolved that. PhoneGap developers hit cross-platform HTML5 everyday.
- Murray Macdonald
They care about standards? HA! They want to MAKE the standards!
- Kevin Costain
They're open-source. Port the source. Chrome extensions are just web-page extensions. You just need an environment that supports the standards and required events.
- Murray Macdonald
HTML5 is just beginning to be standardized
- John Taschek
Fact is though, browsers still render the same page differently. That (after how long the web has been around) is pure BULLSHIT.
- Kevin Costain
HTML5 has a standards process that is working
- Kevin Marks
Kevin is right -- every browser renders differently

oh, I thought he mean a mac mini

I am very glad that HTML5 will be a stronger standard, but it is moving slowly

curious for some outside perspective... had a few brief msg exchanges with a guy on OK Cupid, general stuff, nothing too personal. invited him to meet for a drink week before last, he said "sure" at first, but then on the day of (a Sunday) he said he had "chores" to do. thinking to try once more for a meeting this weekend...

Since he cancelled, I'd ask, but have him pick the time/day. If he's not willing to be specific, I'd move on.
- Jennifer Dittrich
... but I hesitate b/c, well, the whole "I'd rather do chores" thing kinda reeks of "not that into you" to me, but hell if I know what dudes are thinking most of the time. so, make contact one more time before I write it off?
- t-ra: not givin up
ha! Jennifer, you beat me to it!
- t-ra: not givin up
See! We're geniuses. I think. I figure there's a chance he just goofed, or didn't manage time well, so you give him an opportunity, but let him pick the time, so that he either feels obligated to follow through, or if he can't, you know the level of interest.
- Jennifer Dittrich
yeah. Sundays are always fraught with that "have to go back to work tomorrow" feeling. Maybe he genuinely didn't have any clean underwear or something.
- Laura Norvig
ha, Laura. 'tis possible. I did reply that "Sundays can be that way." He had suggested the next weekend, but I was sposed to be at the wedding in Miami, so told him I'd be out of town. His response was "bummer. ok, then." that was all. so, yeah, another attempt then.
- t-ra: not givin up
"Sorry I have to do chores"??? um. no. If he had said, "crap, life got crazy, lets have drinks tomorrow instead", maybe. But just, chores? No. Move on.
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
Rudi: right? that's what I felt like at the time. hmmm.
- t-ra: not givin up
Chores is not a good reason. Since it's not a good reason it shouldn't be given. Since he couldn't be bothered to come up with something better he should be avoided. I'm picking up lazy vibes from him; even missing out on a possibility of a meeting gets nothing more than a "bummer". This is someone who won't work for the relationship.
- Mark H
I think Jenn's idea is a good one.
- John (bird whisperer)
still undecided... Ima mull it over tonight. thanks for the input, FFeeders. always appreciated!
- t-ra: not givin up
I must be a softie, but the fact that he suggested the next weekend means he's still interested, no?
- Laura Norvig
What Mark H said.
- Spidra Webster
I can't really get past my initial instincts about his tepid response, so I'm going to leave it alone. If he's interested, he knows how to get in touch, you know, like when he's done with his "chores." ;)
- t-ra: not givin up
Good call.

I want it on the record, despite my eventual success or failure, that I've graduated to the rationing stage of my pathway to quit smoking... and it's driving me nucking futs! Also, I haven't been to a show in over a week, so I'm not at all sure how that's going to work.

speaking of... 9:30am, finally time for first one of the day. brb...
- t-ra: not givin up
You can do it - but going to bars with smokers is KILLER. I quit in June of last year, but the only two times I've "cheated" in the last year was when drinking with smokers. It's not so easy to stay away when both drunk and around the smokers. Good luck!!
- WebGoddess
Good luck!
- John (bird whisperer)
thanks. yeah, it's gonna be a bear. so far I've managed to delay my first of the day for another 30min though. baby steps.

- Laura Norvig
I second the Chantix. I tried twice with that drug and realized I went off too soon. Second attempt I stayed on it for six months, the last two being on a wean down dosing. It was horribly hard at the time but so easy when I reflect back. Massive dreams of smoking would get to me.
- Janet:#TeamMonique
thanks, y'all! talked to my doctor about Chantix when i came up with this "plan." decided to try it without first to monitor what's what about my cravings, reactions, etc. and b/c part of my difficulty with wanting to quit is knowing most people fail a few times first, and I'm bad at failing at things... so part of what I'm trying to do is check that aspect of my ego with the whole process. Anyway, I'll be rationing for awhile before I'm confident enough to move to the next phase: weaning. *shudders*

You know you're at a kid's birthday party in Santa Cruz when the ice cream cake is made out of candy cap mushrooms.

Yes. Candy cap mushrooms taste like toffee. There was also vanilla and maple syrup in it.

THOSE ARE DIFFERENT, GUYS! Sheesh. One time I ate some and was underage and couldn't get in to see Garcia at the Stone in Palo Alto. We went to the pizza place nearby and I fainted. When I came to I didn't even feel high. At least, that's the story. I barely remember anymore.

Just recording this in case I need to look it up next time I go to rheumatologist: OW!!! Joint pain in my knee every day for the past week or two. Not all day but comes on strong, often at night and in morning.

Wade had a friend over and I heard him say, "where are you going for spring break?". I realized we hardly ever go on vacation while most of his friends do. I'm hoping we can change that a bit. YOLO and all that. Pocketbook be damned.
