That's interesting, Samuel Pepys appears as a character in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, but I didn't know he was an actual historical figure.
Maybe the problem when I was searching was that actually MS Access is a narrow tool (centered around the database), whereas platforms that replaced it (RAD for mobile/web) offer a wider range of features, so searching…
Thanks for the pointer. I searched a bit at the time (2 years ago) and found a few platforms for rapid app development. I guess I didn't search hard enough, or I simply gave up because there was no obvious choice, like…
Actually, genuinely curious here, does anyone know of a solid (popular) equivalent of MS Access, but web-based? The feature I'd put emphasis on is rapid point-and-click form creation, not the database and tables part…
This page describes that system, I think: http://www.oldhouseweb.com/how-to-advice/gravity-hot-water-h... (the "Honeywell Heat Generator")
Do you think/feel this affects how close-knit a team can be in your company? From what you say you don't seem to use video much (for one-on-one), so a lot of visual/non-verbal is lost (also there are no non-work regular…
Ok I see, you're saying that hidden away in the various strata in that graph are, e.g., process inefficiencies which software can eat away. I was naively looking for something that would solve many categories at once,…
I'm not at all knowledgeable about the solar industry, but I'm curious: how would software reduce the "soft" costs described in that third link (NREL)? It seems to me to be a bunch of costs related to the actors…
