@bazbt3 Which databases? Mine? No.
Slowly working on normalising my tasting notes to the greatest extent possible. The only thing that's giving me real trouble: the "region" column. Because I would need a Dewey Decimal-style list of every wine appellation in existence to make that happen — to be precise, that would involve going down to the individual vineyard level of detail.
So one entry would be something like: Europe.Germany.Mosel.Bernkastel-Kues.Wehlen.Sonnenuhr.
The next entry might be: Europe.Germany.Mosel.Bernkastel-Kues.Zeltingen.Sonnenuhr
Very complicated.
Came across what looks like a pretty old DBMS called "ConteXt" [unixspace.com]. System reqs: "any clone of Unix and Windows NT. At present day the system was ported to Linux, FreeBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris and Windows XP/2000"
Love the UI.
Giving myself today to do pretty much nothing. From tomorrow for 10 days I need to get this essay sorted out, else I might not have time…I mean I do have a week between coming back from Milan and going to Paris…anyway, the deadline is on the day of a tasting in Paris.
@matigo I can't imagine having a meeting and only then seeing notes for the first time. I usually send people notes and related documents for meetings a day in advance :o (that way it's their fault if they're not prepared)

@keita Well my parents and our maid, and she didn't take up a lot of space — a bed and a few drawers were all she needed. And I was young then, so I didn't have great needs either.
So much of my life at home happens at The Desk, I don't even care to have a sofa/armchair. The only thing I couldn't fit but might want is a grand piano.

@hazardwarning All looks pretty normal to me, but that's by HK standards. Until I was 11, 4 of us lived in a 55m^2 2br; since 2006, a 75m^2 2br with a (massive) balcony, and a while back we bought a second 30m^2 1br apartment. It's all about using vertical space, which I've noticed a lot of people in Edinburgh don't do — ceilings high enough for a duplex but no tall shelves or anything.

Have a problem: the Ergodox has 2 keys that I can't think of a function for. And it's driving me crazy.
@kdfrawg Yes, I've just spent the past hour downloading any of her work that might be remotely relevant in the next few months. Had no idea anyone had done this kind of research already — and a few professors at the talk were also surprised.
