June 26, 2006: Mary and Satya and Sparky and the Navy Yard
When Jonathon is on holiday (probably watching World Cup Football)
Sparky has to innovate. Here is part of our behind-the-scenes team:
Satya and Sparky. Satya came to our IT Lab about 4 years ago from the Univ.
of Southern California. He brought fresh insights to our group and
took on the challenge reimplementing Josh's original
mySiteMaker.
mySiteMaker is a tool for building web frontends to
mySQL databases. SiteMaker acquired the ability to generate RSS feeds and
use HTML templates so that we could move beyond our original plain jane
appearance. He also developed an innovative strategy to support access control.
mySiteMaker is the database interface for these web pages.
Mary (the boss) - has been at MUSC since before I arrived. Mary is full
of ideas and more energy than you can imagine. Her group is full of innovative
approaches to web site development.
Meanshile, back
at the Navy Yard - cleanup from a barge load of stuff
Reaching for the stuff
Biting the stuff
A heap of stuff chunks
A pile of stuff pieces
and big pieces
Just dropping a segment of the Grace or Pearman bridge, then fishing the
pieces out is not the whole story. Here at the Navy Yard, Jackie and
others are converting big pieces of stuff into small bites of stuff
where they make their way into the scrap recycle business.
