I played poker again tonight in the Poker Room at the Best Western in Keene. My initial thought was that I should buy 4,000 chips for $20 because I wanted to at least have as many chips as those at the table who had already done that; about two thirds of the players at my [...]

DataStage Dates – An Easy Solution

After spending several hours yesterday in the Transformer Stage of IBM’s DataStage 8.1, I was incredibly frustrated with the date functions. No matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to get the StringToDate function to work on my input file. The data was coming in a format of YYYYMMDD, but when I tried to use [...]

Last night, my grandmother and I went to “C&S night” at the Peterborough Players. We followed some directions and initially got lost. I paid for access to VZ Navigator for the day and plugged in our destination. The GPS on my phone, of course, gave us better results than the handwritten directions we had!
We [...]
