[11:35] < vmlemon_> Hi

[11:38] < mhrd> hi

[12:15] < j_baker> Am I the only one who sees a problem with the fact that my school's online registration webapp is a CGI program that uses flat text files and serves 30,000 students?

[12:16] *** vmlemon_ doubts that scales very well

[12:17] < j_baker> You should see it when they start registration.

[12:17] < vmlemon_> It crashes?

[12:18] < j_baker> Not to mention that it has a maintenance window that's 8 hours long.

[12:19] < j_baker> Well, I don't know if it crashes. But it's pretty apparent that there's a lot of demand on the server.

[12:19] < vmlemon_> Haven't they heard of these awesome, newfangled, space-age things called "databases"? ;)

[12:20] < j_baker> I don't know why. not. I mean, Microsoft practically gives their software away to us. It couldn't be too expensive to set up an MSSQL server.

[12:21] < j_baker> (assuming the software was well written of course)

[22:09] *** MS- has joined #kamaelia

[22:09] < j_baker> Good evening, MS-

[22:09] < MS-> Hi, just logging on v briefly to note that I may be offline for a little while

[22:09] < MS-> My laptop power supply has *melted* itself

[22:09] < MS-> Which is rather not good

[22:10] < j_baker> Fun stuff. Those things are expensive too.

[22:10] < vmlemon__> Ouch

[22:10] < MS-> Really rather surreal

[22:11] < vmlemon__> I take it that it's one of them weird proprietary ones with a connector that's slightly incompatible with everything else?

[22:11] < j_baker> They pretty much all are.

[22:11] < vmlemon__> There's always a first time for everything

[22:12] < j_baker> At any rate, good luck with that MS-.

[22:12] < MS-> Maybe, there are spares/replacements

[22:12] < MS-> ta

[22:13] *** vmlemon__ has never understood why companies decide to reinvent the wheel with power supplies and cables/connectors

[22:13] < j_baker> Hopefully, I should have a fully functional WSGI system by the time you get back on Mon.

[22:13] < j_baker> So you have to buy new ones from them, vmlemon__

[22:13] < vmlemon__> (Other than trying to flog more cables when they break prematurely, and trying to prevent people from trying to use cheaper or better quality components)

[22:14] < MS-> vmlemon__: No idea - thankfully it's a not a mac, or I'd have real problems

[22:14] < MS-> They seem to change things every reason out of sheer bloodymindedness

[22:15] < j_baker> At least here, Mac power adapters aren't any worse priced than any other company's power adapters.

[22:15] *** vmlemon__ is now known as vmlemon_

[22:15] < j_baker> They all pull your pants down. :)

[22:21] < MS-> OK, I think I'll shutdown to conserve power :-)

[22:21] < MS-> cya
