The organization of our data is often a direct indication
of whether or not the data will ever be accessed
efficiently


HAAAAAHA

"Generating information on demand"
Isn't that a euphemism for bullshitting? ;)

What's amusing is that I work in this field and I can't
understand a thing it says either!

Classic Ceri,

I am starting Db design and implementation next week at
college. I hope it is nothing like that.

I found my uni module on it easy, the course I'm going on
should be quite profitable (all rent/food/transport incl. so
all that weeks wages go towards paying off debts) &
voctional qualification for a 7.30 hr day :)

Jand: Is that word or speculation? I had my suspiscions
buecause their old site usd to be manga style. I thought
they ran out of money to pay a proper team of designers so
they were doing it themselves.

Q: nah, just speculation...to me it looks like they've
thought, let's make it look like an old computer screen,
green writing on black, Courier font...

But yeah, it is shite...it's got that "done by a friend"
feel about it...

they could at least put more information on it, unless it's
changed since i last checked it a month or so ago -- shit
design is one thing, but shit content is another!

Ha ha like that company 55 DSL the diesel spin off that was
crap. IT was run by the main guy's son...

Like that woman who is currently CEO of the Hilton chain of
hotels. She knows sod all about business, but she was the
daughter of the guy who owned it...

"The way in which data will be organized must be planned
through an organized design process, starting with the data
analysis, continuing through the grouping of similar data,
and ending with a methodological categorization of these
data groups."

HAHAHAHAHA, i haven't yet found a sentence on there that
makes sense! Thanks for the laugh, Ceri :)
