– - listened to interesting talks
– - posted some pictures and choice quotations
– announced my impending resignation from my job
– solved a problem in some perl code at work:
– - two bugs were interacting in such a way as to make each other invisible
– - because data was being duplicated in places where it wasn’t supposed to be
– - and the duplication of information made the bug harder to track down
– - for the same reasons that non-normalized databases are vulnerable to errors
– and now I have a project idea: a Data::Doctor module
– - that looks through people’s data structures
– - for telltale signs of redundancy and encourages good data hygiene
