LIBERTY: Dona Nobis Pacem

Saturday, May 26, 2007

It’s Memorial Day weekend. Unlike many, I am thinking of all the “boys and girls” who have died thru the decades. I won’t demean their sacrifice by political speech. I despise the politicians who use this time for their venial purposes. I’ll just say a prayer for all their souls, wonder what wonders they could have created, and wish for peace. I’d like to support the troops by bringing them all home today. In the alternative all I can say is “Donna Nobis Pacem”! But on Tuesday, I’ll “poison pen” the “leaders” for peace in my time.

ALUMNI: The Alumni db I use is down

Saturday, May 26, 2007

I have it on good authority that the replacement for mcALUMdb will be back on line at the end of the month. My source is a very honest Jasper, and I believe he believes that. But at the risk of sounding like our loveable cuddly Curmudgeon, I’d ask “which month?”.

Seriously technology projects usually miss dates, and this one is no exception. Only Jasper Jottings is like clock work. A ranting raving clock, but always ready for your after Sunday Mass coffee. (No cheating and reading it on Saturday afternoon.) Any way, a lot of my processes (the way I do stuff) keyed on the mcALUMdb for the Class Years, so they need retooling. I have a lot of the data just not in quickly accessible format. (i.e., a a fast directory as opposed to an Outlook contact record). It’ll all be better when I dump Microsoft later this year.

In the meantime, the new son of mcALUMdb will be so much better. Excuse me, I have to answer the door, the bridge salesman is here.
