   Are you from Nebraska?

      I am, or was. Once, while living there, I wrote a little C program to read a Visual FoxPro database file and write out PostgreSQL commands to load the data. It was for my employer at the time. We needed it for a migration.

      And then, a year later, I got invited to a PostgreSQL convention in Brazil where it was one of the tools being quasi-formally recommended to help migrate the country off of VFP.

      The world can feel awfully freaking small sometimes.

         For real? Wow, i was just referencing the xkcd comic: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;2347&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;2347&#x2F; what a funny coincidence

            Yeah, for real. A friend sent me a copy, captioned “this u?”, and I nearly choked.
