'The post The Next Stage of Mobile Quickening: Links Get Intelligent appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. How Branch Metrics works…click to enlarge.

The other day I got a note, from a DB2 for z/OS DBA, in which I was asked for my thoughts regarding the selection of page size for a table space. I typed out what I hoped would be a useful response, and found myself thinking, as I sometimes do, "Hey -- I could turn this into a blog entry." And so I have. I'll start here by offering some guidelines on page size selection for table spaces, and then I'll shift to the index perspective on the matter.
Software Robots – friend or foe? p.butler@cgi.com. Fri, 10/31/2014 - 04:00. Robotics are not new.

ARMA International is all-in on Information Governance. I am not privy to ARMA Board meetings, nor have I talked about this with the staff HQ. But walking into the annual conference in San Diego this week, the switch from RIM to IG was inescapable. Traditionalists may bemoan the blurring focus, seeing it as a dilution of discipline or a paean to fashionable modernity.

'The post My NewCo Los Angeles Picks appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. I love LA. There, I said it. Yes, I made my entire career and life up here in the Bay Area, and the Dodgers bother me immensely.
