Time Series DB Smack Down

Databases are a crazy topic and it seems everyone has an opinion. The trouble is that opinions are like belly buttons. Just because everyone has one it doesn’t mean they are useful for anything.

Time series databases (TSDB’s) in particular always provoke the usual “have you tried X”, where X is some obscure project with 50 commits back in 2009. Invariably, if X is something a bit more mainstream then yes, it probably has been played with. It’s probably good at certain things and bad at others like all software.

With all of the above in mind I decided to pen a magnum opus of my own opinions. Something I can point the HaveYouTriedX’ers at next time they make an appearance. So here it is..

My Top10 TSDB’s:

  1. DalmatinerDB (no surprise here)
  2. InfluxDB

Extract html book files from the safari books online iPad app "Safari To Go" using php.

Save books out of Safari Books Online

From http://objectivesea.tumblr.com/post/9033067018/safaribooks

This is hard. I spent way too much time figuring this out, because I was annoyed that a book I bought (Addison-Wesley) was available online for free, except only for 45 days after which payment was required. So I made this hack... probably useful to no one else, but here it is.

Requirements:

  1. iPad.
  2. Safari To Go (the Safari Books Online iPad app).
