Every year it gets a little easier. Kelly's only been back at school for 2 weeks and I already feel mostly used to getting out of the house at 6:30 am.
In other news, I survived my first week of school. My networking class looks like it may be pretty interesting. I had to do homework for the first time since I graduated from college, but it wasn't too bad. And I appear to be able to stay awake through class, which was a concern because it's scheduled slightly later than I'd like.
We're watching tennis on TV. Kelly says to ask the Internet if Jennifer Capriati and Matthew Perry are dating, because he seems to be at all her games. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Work was a bit hectic this week because we were rushing to get some new features into our test site before the big Automated Meter Reading Association trade show next week (isn't my career glamorous?). We had some serious database weirdness - a query that ran in 60 msec when run from a regular Oracle client took 8000 msec when run through Weblogic JDBC. We eventually traced the slowdown to the bind variables we were using to represent the query's date range. We probably have a few hundred queries that handle dates exactly the same way, and we haven't observed the same kind of problem anywhere else. The DBA and I were both pretty mystified by the whole thing.
