Chinese Foo Camp, growth and pollution
Tim O’Reilly blog post on Chinese fast growth and pollution in his Chinese Foo Camp review made me think of the book “Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update” which I just got. If you haven’t seen it it is an analysis and computer models of where our current world is going with all the growth […]
Gmail questions…any suggestions?
Why do I see some emails that have my default email address and/or says “On behalf of (my name)”. Yikes. Not sure why some emails show this and others don’t. And I just realized that some mailing lists that I respond to will not let me send to it because I’m either not on the […]
Question: Gmail select feature
You know when you select “conversations” in your inbox. I click on, say 4, so that I can “mark as read”. Then I want to un-check those “conversations”, but Gmail doesn’t seem to have a way to un-click them. There’s a “star” and “unstar” option, but not the un-check option. So far, I’ve been un-checking […]
TeraTech- ever growing and seeking the finest

Why Gmail is truly a charm, best of the best. Reason #1.
I configured all my emails to come to my Gmail account. I have three main emails and not only do I get them all in one place (filtered in their corresponding folders), I set up the account to respond with the email address it was originally sent to. Does this make sense? Hope so. I […]
SQL Reserved word or not, that is the question
Here is a problem that we had on a recent project that we were doing maintenance on. The code had some queries with a table called as “user”. The code works fine on the production server but gave an error on our development server. The fix? Put brackets around the table name in all the […]

Do you need to tap the wisdom of crowds?
Companies know that you know what you want. Interactive Web 2.0 technologies are now enabling businesses to use their customers to lead product design, create content and solve problems. “Crowdsourcing”, which allows people to take part in online discussions and vote on what the company should be doing, is already starting to take off. Dell’s […]
