Brain Pain
Data warehouses are expanding at an amazing rate.
Data warehouses with as much as 100 to 200 terabytes of raw data will be operational by next year, performing nearly 2,000 concurrent queries and occupying nearly 1 petabyte (1,000 terabytes) of disk space. In the same time period, transaction-processing databases will handle workloads of nearly 66,000 transactions per second.
Just trying to imagine that many 1's and 0's makes my brain hurt.

Today was one of those IT days that makes me want to go work in a greenhouse. You're not helping. :-)

The last three weeks have been that kind of IT times for me... I find myself fondly remembering my days as a chef...
