Well that was a long break. I did go to another blog site for a while, but I like this one better so I'm back. So this is not a photo, but it is a screenshot which is technically a picture. I learnt a bit about databases way back when I was at polytechnic. I have, of course, forgotten most of what I learned at the time, which wasn't much. I have vague recollections of trying to stay awake whilst some lecturer or other tried in vain to make normalising data structures both comprehensible, and interesting. Not to worry I surmised, when would I ever use this stuff anyway? As it turns out I could do with a little of that knowledge now. I have landed myself with a few web based projects which inevitably require a database behind them. I'm not thrilled about it, and I hate doing web interfaces at the best of times (potential future employers ignore that bit).
