I hate meetings. Some are necessary, most are not. What I’ve noticed is that certain people will just start adding people to meetings and then the meeting has 20+ people in it. There is no way to negatively reenforce that they are doing something bad, especially when 17-18 of those people are just sitting there staring at the wall. The other situation is the 2-3+ hour meeting that doesn’t really accomplish anything. Giving people a short meeting time causes people to work things out quickly and take less important and off task issues outside of the meeting. So my proposal is Meeting Points.

Very cool. Download, launch, done. It is super simple and hopefully will get some people wanting to use PostgreSQL more. It has a default db of your userid, no password. Set your app to localhost/ for dev work. You can create new dbs pretty easily. Much easier than installing MySQL. The real trick was getting psycopg2 installed. Once I updated xcode and installed the commandline apps through xcode it worked like a champ.
