I don't mind the trips. I usually look forward to it, then a few days before, I dread it because my life has to stop while I travel, then when I return I realize how valuable the trip was, and I catch up on my email. The only downside is my being away from email for a week every month. I read some email while I am away, but I don't have the time to read most of it because the trips are usually busy times for me. > To that end, I've spoken to a hand full of people over the last few weeks > and am trying to find time to put together notes/slides for some > prepackaged talks which people can deliver to their local user > groups/conferences. You can use my "PostgreSQL: Past, Present, Future" talk for that. What I usually do is to talk on the phone with the presenter beforehand and go over the slides and any questions they have, and they can make the presentation. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
