So, it started as a small spark. A kinda, "gee, wouldn't that be nice" momentary thought, which throughout the day turned into an obsession. My office collects alot of data. Training numbers, personnel info, deployment data, all sorts of numbers and dates and stats. A while back I came up with the idea of marrying the personnel info i had, such as name and workcenter with the training data i had, in order to give not only the most accurate training numbers i could possibly obtain, but also give them in 1/10th of the time it would have normally took. That idea i was able to realize, and have been using that product for almost a year. Now I've spent those off moments throughout my day thinking of new ways to expand the database I've already created, dreaming of smooth interfaces, and flawless data migration. New and exciting ways of crunching numbers.
I haven't broken this plan to my people yet. I'm still in the "what can i do with this?" phase. But If i can get them as excited as I've been all day about this idea, then i just might be able to create something really useful. Thats the plan at least. I know this is a much shorter blog than i ussually write, but all I can really think about right now is how to integrate data from different sources.
