Too much fun

Well, I finally got the Oracle package working for the PPDM Association.  This should greatly help speed up the release of v3.8.  I can't wait for it to come out as the meta-data section promises to be nice to work with. 
I am on holidays up at Sylvan Lake and of course, expected to get a bunch of stuff done.  Computer/data stuff.  Well, about all I got done is some water-skiing, wake-boarding and the new sport: wake surfing.  Not that I am complaining, either. 
Did fine one interesting product;  FileList.  I needed to list all of the files in a directory (and the subsequent sub-directories), when they were created and if I could, get a column of all of the unique file-types.  Now, you can do this with a dos command like:  dir /a /b >output.csv etc.  And that's what I did and spent two plus hours editing the output into a usable format.  After I was done, I then looked for this program and be darned if I did not find it; on my own c:\ drive.  So, I redid my work in a couple of minutes and liked the result even more than what I did by hand.  So, the lesson here?  Be lazy and expect that someone else has done what you need done before and go & find it.
Now to got on to serious business... logical data architecture.
