Warm day, sitting in evening-shade. Just had a rabbit hopping up to me. At abt 2m it realized "oops, a human" and turned around....
Sitting in a metal barn, just underneath that big red Thunderstorm area W of Middelburg. Noise ! But the wind and rain are very welcome after the heatwave-days we just had.
It worked on my machine... Not even the in/famous "rosetta warning." Thanks !
Fixed by AI: Custom software stopped throwing errors in the category "Exception"... AI-supported developers laughing their heads off: The silly human had a query : reason like 'Exception%'. Hence Easy to eliminate those Errors...
Brag moment: new macbook isnt quite quite top-of-specs (M5pro, not M5max). But the extra money for nano-texture screen makes this 1st laptop I can truly use in garden. Let s see how she holds up...
Who else gets a small kick out of running xeyes.. kids loved it 20yrs ago and still.... In my case, on a container-image, enabling it was... # dnf config-manager --enable ol8_codeready_builder # dnf install xorg-x11-apps
hey, Can Never Resist a new Toy. I got it (downloaded, X11-installed...) Then tested it (trivially....) Sometime I feel like holding a shiny new tool, looking for a use-case. Will try more when time... Nice job by @toonkoppelaars.bsky.social and @chrisrsaxon.bsky.social

Here I am researching my talk for a Conference later this autumn. And this code, ready to copy + run, pops up. (it IS one Good Sounding number...)

@pougorg.bsky.social is in a month. I got my "concept" for prez accepted, but,... They turned it into a "workshop". Been thinking about it. I'll try to make it interesting, with "audience participation" (BYODatabase!). Image of me thinking...

Thx! my test in screenshot. pl/sql funct and sql-macro. col1 and col2: funct-calls. col3: sql-macro col4: systimestamp. Note how the function-values vary, increase, per cell, and start slightly newer than the systmst and sql-macro. Macro is atomic and == systimestamp. maybe blog soon.
Data-processsing the #SmartDB way. Any processing that can take place "inside the database" should be done Right There. Bring your code to the data, do not drag the data out to the code.
