Someone at work thought it would be a good idea to give me access to the corporate blog so that I might post PostgreSQL-related things there and have them syndicated to Planet PostgreSQL. So my PostgreSQL ramblings will show up there now instead of here. This should be fun!
My Linka smart bike lock from Kickstarter showed up today. Holy Hell is this thing solid and hefty! Like for reals, this is gonna throw the balance of the bike off :)
I recently discovered the online game NationStates thanks to a Reddit thread and was intrigued. So I logged in, created the nation of Cypheri and then used BlogTrottr to feed the RSS feed into my inbox (which allows me offline play essentially. I ignore it until I get a notice). So far, it’s been a neat little experience. I’m pretty sure if you know me well enough to be reading this blog that I know you well enough to say you’ll enjoy it too.
After an afternoon dicking around with Jekyll templates and Google searching, I’ve fixed up this site’s archive pages and tag cloud pages. I now have functional archive pages for everything, each year, each month of said year, and each day of said month. And they should all continue to function perfectly well on their own as time progresses (unless I bork something up later trying to be clever). I’ve also modified the tag cloud page to fit in the archive pages’ look an feel. It’s not a true tag cloud in that I don’t increase the weight or height of the font based on frequency, but the cloud does contain every tag used across the blog and each tag has it’s own page showing all posts tagged as such.
Tablespaces in PostgreSQL allow database administrators to define locations in the file system where the files representing database objects can be stored. Once created, a tablespace can be referred to by name when creating database objects.
