@dgold I saved a copy of the letter to attempt to gain a bit more understanding of the government position. I didn't get as far past the words for the home nation as the omission of that once-strategic bit of land. Heh! Gibraltar! Maybe it's some twisted nationalistic strategy; when the Spaniards take it over we Brits can invoke some anti-Armada sentiments.
Yeah, I'm crediting the Conservatives with some measure of intelligence. Daft Baz. :D

@larand Ditto. Being led blind into something, without the ability to influence the outcome despite having a devolved parliament, laws, currency, income (tenuously just-below adequate), etc., is no way to live. It's getting quite nasty politically up north, already.

@jws Good stuff. A good indicator (for me at least) is waking up the next morning. No, that and feeling free of symptoms. :)
@jws @lukasros Being English for the vast majority of my life I was about to get all full of national whateveritis, but realised I no longer care about the Union. The Scots have it right, they've had two referenda (ums‽) and are thus closer to understanding that the the very essence of democracy is having the ability to choose one's own future, especially given what's ahead of (and behind) the United Kingdom…
Shite.
I must remember this is ostensibly a family-friendly network. ;)
@sumudu Try pressing the hamburger menu button, pressing Home, then do it again to get Everything. It worked for me just now, mobile Safari.
@matigo It is unfortunately proprietary. We suspected we're now bouncing off its upper performance limits, a suspicion confirmed during a chat with the vendor's value-added-reseller after my post.
It seems a sql database-backed thing is in our future! I should realty get up to speed with the basics now; yes, just because I want to. :)
@matigo In theory @randolph should like that too. Database optimisation FTW! :)
We have a basic CAD document management system here. I queried it earlier to find the number of files. Around 12 minutes after setting the query off and after complaints that the system had stopped I terminated it. Instant return to health.
What did I want? Simply list the files: if description is empty OR if description is not empty. :) Both searches if run independently take <15 seconds.
It's a metadata backed thing, each CAD file has associated folders and descriptive/history/revision/goat* files, and it's all stored on a general company server. 12600 CAD files require 141000 total files. I'm guessing the database is built every time the database program starts up it must build from all that metadata, and incrementally add…
Oops, lots of words. We're considering the upgrade to an SQL-backed thing from the same vendor. Should be interesting. :)
*No, not this.
@kdfrawg Aye. It's close to the upgrade to the latest iOS OmniFocus, but that's an app I'd really not like to be without now.
