Okay, so when I said "the only technical roadblock", maybe I was off by one... :D

I think Nick already tossed the "best" option out there: The only "I want to spend 10 minutes developing a simple front-end for my simple DB" app I know of (without looking into it) is Access -- and it probably would take you about 10 minutes. The only technical roadblock there is that I'm not...

Blah blah blah blah, whatever. New topic. Apple: Best products ever? Or greatest products ever? Discuss. :D

I'm voting "Yes" on every poll of this nature from here on... Regardless of whether I had previously wanted the person to "leave" or not.

:rolleyes:

I'll be watching from the water tomorrow, and my roof on Sunday... I'm really looking forward to the Red Bull chopper act for some reason.

That'll buff right out.

Condolences, Nick.

Happy Birthday! :cheerswine:

The argument in favor of Notes (at least over Exchange) used to be that it scaled better than Exchange. And IMO, that was an entirely legitimate argument, up until Exchange 2000 came out, anyway. (Though really it was 2003 that truly usurped Notes.) So the larger the organization, the more...

Hmm... I'd reply with more, but the left half of my body just suddenly went numb. Dunno what that's all about. :dunno:

It all makes sense now... Because that's not professional incompetence. That's bordering on assault. ;)

:vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: <ahem> Gaah... Sorry about that. It's a refl-- :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: :vomit: <cough> It's a reflex every time I hear the words Lotus N...:( ... Lotus No... <gulp> Lotus Notes. Phew.

Really whatever the display mechanism is -- text, progress bar, some Flash thingy, whatever -- it should indicate that whatever long-running process is still actually, er, running and should indicate such in a thread-safe manner. But obviously, the real goal should be to properly manage the...

Yeah. Sigh...

Yeah, true, I didn't ever include an ETA. Nor can I really envision a scenario in which I would, unless it's a specifically time-related operation.

I can only think of one, and it was a long, long time ago... It was in an app that applied changes en masse to Active Directory accounts. Query to get a collection of accounts --> apply whatever change to the account --> next. Some machine-local, iterative operation against a collection of a...

I was once asked to put a progress bar in one of my applications. The conversation with the Almighty User went thusly: Me: "That should be a pretty fast operation... Is it taking a lot of time for you?" User: "No." Me: "How long does it take, usually?" User: "Maybe 5 seconds." Me (knowing...

Hey, like I said, fair enough. I reserve the right to call both those things what I think they are, though: Bat**** crazy. ;) :D

True (though I can't speak from experience on the latter.) However I can say that I'm more afraid of an Infantry platoon than I am of, say, a Finance Department. Call me crazy.
