The first post says it all Shalom, This is the home of the Pittsfield Jew. Sure its neat to read about Jews in Brooklyn who are very observant but how about a not so observant Jew who lives in the Mid West?

Cleaning up data

There are some typos in the names of the attending and residing physicians in the treatment summary data. So Jonny Lee Miller wrote an extensive SQL XML DOM program to clean up this data. The user interface is too slow. He is cleaning up 1000's of records. The program is not too fast either. It can clean 400 records in about 30 minutes. The company advised not to do too many at once.

Over in the next cube in Hollywood sits Lea Thompson. Lea works on billing but has agreed for the past several weeks not to bother Jonny to learn her stuff. Today he modified his demographics program to use the user name, server name, data base name, and passwords from an access database. The other programs that Lea has advised Jonny to write will use this technique.

On his MP3 player he is listening to this week's parsh Balak. Over the weekend he went to services. Funny thing about this week's parsha Chukat. The rabbi was there but not to deliver a sermon. Instead he was there as a yid. This is because it was his summer vacation 2 weeks.

Jonny just took a long lunch. He had a sandwich made of turkey at around 11:30. Then he went home. There he picked up Alberta Watson. Alberta wants Jonny her dad to buy a restaurant. They were listening to Rich Dad Poor Dad in the car. She wants the vacant land of Sal's Automotive to be the first step in the Miller empire. This is following the teachings of the rich buy assets.

Right now Jonny is drinking some nice Hollywood coffee. His cleanup program is running. He ran into a former defunct health insurance plan coworker today at Death Valley. The reason Jonny went home was to take Alberta to physical therapy. Julia Pearlstein was an operator. She slipped an fell in March. She was on crutches and said hi to Alberta and her dad in the waiting room today. Of course it wasn't until this moment that Jonny looked up her name in his excel spreadsheet that he remembered her real name. She is now working in desktop support, for the same huge department Jonny works for. Another employee of this department is Michael Rapaport. He and his wife Janeane Garofalo and four children live in Israel. Yet he still works here in Ann Arbor for desk top support too. Their daughter went to school with Alberta for 1st grade and the GAN. Then they moved. The girls have remained friends. They see each other every summer. They are staying near Stadium and Brockman which is very close to Jonny's house. That family has four people. They had a party Friday. Then the daughter slept over at Jonny's house. Alberta and Angelina Jolie drove to services. The rest of the family including the guest and Jonny, Jesse and Lorraine walked the 1+ mile. The Rapaport family is as Angelina calls them Shomar Shabbos, meaning they keep the sabbath. Literally it is a Yiddush-Hebrew phrase translated as watches/guards the day of rest. Therefore they use no electricity, no phones and no cars on Saturday. It would be too hard for Angelina to follow this. Their hosts don't follow it either and they guard Angelina's access to them. LOL. Get the joke? So Angelina is complaining about it and the hypocrisy.

    I'm really curious about how you pick your fake names. (One name in particular intrigues me, as it happens to be mine!) I'm as reluctant as you are to post my actual e-mail address here, but I think that if you post a follow-up comment, it will be forwarded to me. Thanks!

    Which one is msjuliap? Are you a real celebrity? I could change the name to a different one. But it is fairly easy, being a math type person. If you were one you could figure it out.

    They all come from the movie Beverly Hillbillies and other movies using imdb. Some come from copland. If you are Julia Vera?

    Oh are you Julia Pearlstein. Then it might be from the movie hackers.

    Or it was the movie the net. I pick all the main characters from imdb's listing of the cast. Then I work down to the minor characters.

    Ah the net nurse 2. I really don't remember that part. Sad face, no picture. You almost didn't make the cut. But I really liked that movie.

    My wife and myself's characters come from the movie Hackers. I got the movies mixed up. But I liked the net better, more adult theme.

    The good thing about the fake names is that everyone of them is a different name. I have over 100 names and hardly any repeats. How many Renoly's do you know in real life.
