Work, RUMBA and Access
Wow. So much is happening. I’ve been working many many hour days, and I cannot wait to get paid. Oct 6 will be a great day among the history of 2005 according to Jace.
Work’s good, too. Been working with Oracle databases from several different locations, and trying to get MS Access to pull queries between them. It sucks, and it’s sloooooooow. I’ve been doing a whole lot with Access recently, and it’s a really powerful tool. And I finally discovered that you can pass stuff by reference in VB, which almost makes me like it. I’m also getting Access to connect to a RUMBA session and do some screen scraping from our mainframe application. Wicked cool stuff. I may geek out and post a whole bunch of stuff on Access before too long. I’ve built some relatively complex tools here, and it seems that management is taking notice, which is good.
Well, I’d better get back to work.
See ya,

Agreed, I just think it’s cool that VB will actually do it. Totally raised my opinion of the “language”.
