Several things, again

• Isn’t it strange that it’s when I need to focus on one particular subject at work that ideas regarding the other matter, the database and what ever revolves around it, start flooding in whereas I’d certainly need creativity in my present project. *le sigh*.
  I, now, have a more precise idea of how I want the database to evolve in a more or less near future:
  • Exporting from PDF to XML.
  • Retrieving data into the database so as to have a mere copy of the non conformance in question.
  • No need for redundancy of data, except in the case of non conformance we may choose to not cover but only record them.
• The topic of the TV show yesterday, C dans l’air, was so much what I wanted debated over but, really, the show host is not doing a good job. Guests sucked too, I just don’t know why they invited them. I stopped watching the video after, what, 10 minutes.
• Question: how can one forget an appointment agreed upon in the morning for some time, any time, in the afternoon? Is it me or was the guy simply not ready for it and rather than just letting me know chose to just not show up from noon until it was time to depart? I may paranoid but, still…

plus and minus

Let’s start with… minuses first

- After searching how to make the best of Outlook© and provide those who ride the shuttle every day with a tool to prevent last minute panic I threw the towel this week and am ready to use another vehicule as often as possible. Some simply refused to play along and I don’t want to go into detailing why; it’s just too petty.
- Second strange refusal of an excellent way to, again, make the best of … Outlook, yet again. And again I don’t understand the lack of cooperation and total absence of spirit of sharing an information, any information, just in case someone else might profit from it. I’ve even been said: these new tools tend to kill communication between people… better hear this than being deaf, barely though.

- I think my database is starting to be convincing enough that others, outside the department, expressed interest in it.
- I attended a meeting with HB, head manager of the site. I feel more comfortable now: this ship has a captain. He might not be very sympathetic or warm but… that’s not what matters.
