"Yes," Mr. Phillips said, "ours is a city of churches all right." Cecelia nodded, following his pointing hand. Both sides of the street were solidly lined with churches, standing shoulder to shoulder in a variety of architectural styles. The Bethel Baptist stood next to the Holy Messiah Free Baptist, Saint Paul's Episcopal next to Grace Evangelical Covenant. Then came the First Christian Science, the Church of God, All Souls, Our Lady of Victory, the Society of Friends, The Assembly of God, and the Church of the Holy Apostles. The spires and steeples of the traditional buildings were jammed in next to the broad imaginative flights of the "contemporary" designs. "Everyone here takes a great interest in church matters," Mr. Phillips said.

Will I fit in, Cecelia wondered. She had come to Prester to open a branch office of a car-rental concern.

"I'm not especially religious," she said to Mr. Phillips, who was in the real-estate business.

"Not now," he answered.

"Not yet. But we have many fine young people her

A friend asked me for a few pointers to interesting, mostly recent papers on data warehousing and "big data" database systems, with an eye towards real-world deployments. I figured I'd share the list. It's biased and rather incomplete but maybe of interest to someone. While many are obvious choices (I've omitted several, like MapReduce), I think there are a few underappreciated gems.

	# Inspired by http://jeffmiller.github.com/2011/01/10/ssh-host-color

	# == What this version does:
	# 1) Launch an SSH process
	# 2) Grab the IP that SSH connected to
	# 3) Hash that IP and generate a colour from it
	# 4) Change Terminal.app's background colour to that colour.
	# 5) Change the colour back when SSH exits.

	#!/bin/sh

	# Converts a mysqldump file into a Sqlite 3 compatible file. It also extracts the MySQL `KEY xxxxx` from the
	# CREATE block and create them in separate commands _after_ all the INSERTs.

	# Awk is choosen because it's fast and portable. You can use gawk, original awk or even the lightning fast mawk.
	# The mysqldump file is traversed only once.

	# Usage: $ ./mysql2sqlite mysqldump-opts db-name \| sqlite3 database.sqlite
	# Example: $ ./mysql2sqlite --no-data -u root -pMySecretPassWord myDbase \| sqlite3 database.sqlite
