Fun datasource
If you are looking for a dataset and don't want to get stuck with boring Northwind, why not venture into using the IMDB back-end? - Thanks to manero.org

Silence
Expect not seeing many open source community or project related remarks here anymore for the time to come. I have some work to be done, and I'd rather focus on that, rather than burning out / being burned on OSS contributions. Of course, the obvious quickyblog to the cool projects I encounter will still be there. But I quit mailing and blogging for some time. I have been trying too hard to do The Right Thing in the past few months, and now I'm gonna focus on Getting some Things Done. Luckily, I'm not the only one. As much as our perspectives can be different, and as many times as our opinions have been clashing, I feel our reasons for this sudden winter-blue-ness are quite similar. To me, it is the necessity to be consistently political correct which is burning me out at an ever accelerating rate. Or beter yet: the kind of remarks you get when not obeying the many unwritten or hidden laws of community-based open source development. But then again, due to this burn-out, I myself may have been posting such remarks lately, for which I'm sorry. I'm on a sabatical until I regained some cluefullness.
