I still think Cape Town is the best city, for me personally. It's just
really expensive to live here and growth seems very limited, all things
considered.
People don't want to pay decent salaries, prices everywhere keep increasing
and the Rand isn't doing us any favours.

It just becomes too expensive to travel, and it means staying here is just
becoming too expensive.
I was planning a trip in May. Before Zuma fired Nene the tickets costed
R9000. One week later it was at R13000. Today it's R15000.
The property of my place went up by about 40% since I bought it. But the
rand also devalued against the dollar (and pound, and euro) by 50%, which
means I lost a lot. And not just there, but other investments as well.

Nowhere... yet. But if the Rand continues on this downward spiral I'm
going to leave.

So, got back home and took a look at the Jojo's first to five character
elimination upload.
I decided to give the native Game Capture HD a chance to do the Youtube
upload.
It was a kak Idea. 1.8 gig uploaded. Time out. No video. Live an'
learn.

TBH, it won't be very useful to you unless you want to learn SQL and don't
have access to a database system.
You can do most things in Excel, but sometimes it can be useful to
randomly check things if you have a multiple sets of related data. But
this implies you need to know a bit of SQL that will allow you to do more
advanced things than what you can do in Excel. Which usually means it's
not worth learning...
Random example:
I copy-pasted the data from here to SQLFiddle.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_income
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population
This allows me to check various things, like if there's a correlation
between Electoral Votes and Income Per Capita in the states.
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/e5172/5
So as a Bull-headed Politician who believes in free-market Crapitalism and
pseudo-scientific social science, I infer that PerCapitaIncome is
positively correlated with Intelligence. I also notice that Connecticut
has a reasonable amount of political influence, but they seem to have a
knowledgeable population. So instead of wasting my time and campaigning
there where people will obviously see through my bullshit, I'd instead opt
to visit Oklahoma instead which has similar influence over the electorate,
but has dumber constituents.

I copied pasted the data Ken's frame data on his normals and used the

to see the average, minimum and maximum startup of his moves.

A schema is basically just the logical structure of the database. Meaning
the names and descriptions of the tables and the columns in the tables
(among other things).

I see SQL is programming language used for database management.
A schema as far as I can fathom, is like a 2nd tier of programming used to
make things relate to one another in the database.
Hit or miss?

I wish I knew what you were talking about sometimes. I'm worried that
because I don't know this stuff, it must be really technical and specific.
The other option is that I'm just really backward, and should go back to
playing my banjo on the porch.
I hope it's the former. Should I know this?
