OK, so am I a huge dork for getting all revved up about built-in datagrids in ASP.NET ? I can't help it, it combines my two great loves, dynamically-rendered HTML and databases. One thing I miss about having an NT web server. I guess I should learn whatever the FreeBSD equivalent is (jsp?) if I don't get this job, so I can be the webdev nerd I've always dreamed about.

Or maybe I'll just write another novel.

It's all about open source, and it's all about FreeBSD.

And let me fucking tell you something, if you've ever had to deal with disaster recovery procedures on an Exchange or SQL Server database, you will learn to REALLY FUCKING APPRECIATE a system like MySQL in which "backing up the database" simply means copying all the files in your database's directory somewhere else, and "restoring the database" means copying them right back in.

developers that don't consider what it's like to have to USE the shit they develop make Jim a homicidal boy.

Dude, it's the managers clients that pick and choose the fuckin' software.

if you hadn't snuck "managers" in there I'd have had to spank you.

I get to do both. I sit there and dev up something, then I have to go on-site and play DB admin. And then train the users. And provide support. I need a more role-specific role.
