2. for massive sql table operations, optimize by using truncate for table deletions, and for inserts, make sure logging is off, and indexes have been dropped.

Chatting boldly where no one has chatted boldly before-

There are some people who have discovered this feature in Gmail chat, but I've never seen anyone else use this, so I thought it was worthwhile to put up a quick entry.

In gmail, you can now bold selection by using *foo* and italics by using _foo_, how cool!! A coworker found this quite accidentally!

Also, does anyone know why there is now a bell emoticon? +/'\
