I am off for the night

91k seems more realistic

1k posts in a day no wonder the database gnarlsed up

So, would you be impressed with the 110 million record OLTP databases I worked with in the early 1990s? Or the multi-terabyte spatially enabled real-time stuff I do now?

A thousand records a day, with a 10k max record length, is 1200 bits per second. Unless

just










how












slow















that





















is.

but why has it gone downhill?

Gravitas

I feel quite honoured that you have invited me to the baptism although it might be embarassing all round if when I turn up no one knows who I am!

Easy.

You'll be the fat, middle-aged, balding bloke in a string vest that doesn't answer to the name 'Bazza'.

Surely some newbies are good? To replace oldies who leave?

And said Denny was banned isn't it open season on newbies?

You see, in the old days there were no newbies. Only oldbies.

By definition, newbies only came along after me.

Each to their own I guess.

That is indeed, the only option when single.

And yet, the facts are still that I am SIGNIFICANTLY younger than you, baldy!

I shave my head - amongst other areas...

Yep. Going bald and in denial.

Never mind. We'll still lurve you.
