So what am I doing these days? I'm writing books with Dr. Bagui, working a couple of days a week at the Naval Air Station (actually doing database) and playing with my radios again (K4DD). For former students, you'll recognize much of the material in the books as the old SQL workbook originally distributed in about 1980 and the database design book started with the handouts on how to draw an ER diagram in the COP4710 class (formerly SS470? - been a long time). Let me know what you're up to when you get a minute. I hope you're all rich and prosperous. Don't forget your alumni association. Many thanks for visiting -
