It’s been pretty nice and relativly warm around here lately, a transition period I call sprinter (half way between spring and winter) and there’s still a lot of snow on the ground. I was out in North Tetonia this afternoon and took these shots of a snow pack that’s not going anywhere soon.
Fresh out of a computer science degree in the early seventies I went to work for a medical billing company in south Oakland, CA. It was a Cobol shop and my first assignment was to flowchart and document the concept of Level Breaks. I won’t bore you with the specifics but it was a technique I carried on to a very successful career through the seventies and eighties working with IBM mini-computer systems and RPG 3. Tonight I brought back some of those old techniques as I processed my carefully crafted 10,000 element database of Teton Valley addresses. The results are amazing and I can’t wait to introduce the new program.
