With the higher profile, dynamic javascript pages are getting, look to see a lot more folks working on this stuff. And this is a wonderful example of what you can do.

Let me let you in on a secret. SQL is a great language for getting information out of a database. But if your writing a long string of stored procedures that call functions which use a view that ties several tables together just to find out what particular piece of data is linked to your piece of data then you need a good talking too. Not only does all this unnecessary complexity make debugging hard for you. But it makes folks like me want to beat you up with a baseball bat.

So do us all a favor. See if you can reduce the number of steps and keep the squirming pathway a little straighter. Then you can scream and rant and pummel the brains out of your fellow coders (who didn’t heed this warning) with the rest of us.

and of course being the bright young google lover I am I added it to my gmail client. you can now reach me using the jabber protocol, my gmail username, and google’s new talk service. No sorry Gaim doesn’t support the voice portion but my voice isn’t that spectacular anyway. So what are you waiting for? get on the google bandwagon and contact me on google’s talk service.
