STP

I have spent the last 3 days messing with code pages. The 2 second version - Code pages are how a computer encodes the character set for a particular standard. Think about all of the symbols in some languages. Code pages are the behind the scenes storage mechanism that is reasonably consistent across all the vendors. We are moving our primary database from one code page to another at Thanksgiving as part of our software upgrade at work. Needless to say, I am in Frgeek Girl mode this week.

Unfortunately, the soundtrack for this project right now is STP. There is nothing like writing conversion programs with "Meat Plow" in the background. It fits what I feel like I am doing to the databases right now. I probably have another 2-3 days before I start working on a different piece of this project for a while. [New app servers are coming so hopefully new music comes with them. This will make three brand spanking new PE1950's in my rack. ]

I feel as dark as the music I am hearing in my ears right now. I can't decide if I am dark because of the music or if I was dark and chose the music to fit the mood.
