Discussion on today's xkcd got me reading about arcane methods for computing surface normals and their origins.
Importing data from SalesLogix got me cursing whoever built our company's customizations; the majority of flattened one-to-many relationships in a RDBMS really wind me up. Honestly, when your column names are five versions of <Object>CompleteDate, <Object>Notes, and <Object>TargetDate — wake up! While it was purchased before my tenure, I believe we bought the customization from Sage or a reseller (read: not a hack by some guy put in charge of business applications, but someone considered a programmer).
Maybe I'm too critical?
