Wow, did I ever get a lot of sleep last week. Fortunately, I've been able to turn over all my responsibilities, and I've given myself permission to take it easy. I'm rarely under the weather like this, and it's an interesting learning opportunity for dealing with variable energy and short attention spans. The blog has been coasting thanks to the posts that I wrote a week or two ago, but since I still do manage to learn something here and there, I'll see how many posts I can squeeze in to remind me of stuff that I may want to think about later or that other people might find useful. =)

I still managed to do a little bit of consulting here and there, thanks to the wonders of working from home. =) This week, I discovered that recursive queries in PostgreSQL (WITH RECURSIVE) are actually a pretty fast way of traversing an organizational chart described as an adjacency list. I also wireframed a prototype so that one of the other developers can work on it, but she'll probably need a little more help before she's ready to take that on. I'm getting better at asking people to do things instead of giving into the temptation to have all the fun myself!

We'll keep things loose. I'll try to take notes along the way. =)
