Photographer’s Note
New Sewer system for TE to remove all invalid data from the TE-database.
Last week I offered the TE-System manager a new engine for the database.
IB Tech answered in the FORUM with the message “There will be database hardware upgrades being made in the near future which should improve site performance significantly. Thank you for your patience as we work through this.”
Sadly this new engine wasn’t able to improve the server to a smooth running machine, so I think more support is necessary. Therefore I offer a new sewer system in this upload to remove all invalid and superfluous data from the database.
I suggest that the database is polluted with a lot of deleted pictures. The moderators are maybe to diligent to delete excessive post-processing, elaborated framing, pictures of TE-member, family, pets etc. The picture are deleted but not removed from the server. Inadequate queries could be the result and that gives a corrupt database.
To help a little bit more I consulted Wikipedia. I did find the entry “database hardware”, but maybe the next information is helpful.
A database engine is the underlying software component that a database management system (DBMS) uses to create, retrieve, update and delete (see CRUD (acronym)) data from a database. One may command the database engine via the DBMS's own user interface, and sometimes through a network port.
A DBMS is a complex set of software programs that controls the organization, storage, management, and retrieval of data in a database. DBMS are categorized according to their data structures or types. It is a set of prewritten programs that are used to store, update and retrieve a Database. A DBMS includes:
1. A modeling language to define the schema of each database hosted in the DBMS, according to the DBMS data model.
2. Data structures (fields, records, files and objects) optimized to deal with very large amounts of data stored on a permanent data storage device (which implies relatively slow access compared to volatile main memory).
3. A database query language and report writer to allow users to interactively interrogate the database, analyze its data and update it according to the users privileges on data.
4. transaction mechanism, that ideally would guarantee the ACID properties, in order to ensure data integrity, despite concurrent user accesses (concurrency control), and faults (fault tolerance).

Hi Rob,
I don't know about the TE server, but this is a fabulously lit image, great composition, and I am a fan of monochromatics. The clouds thru the window are surreal. Deceptively simple, expertly done.

Bonjour Rob.
Je vois que tu recherches des solutions pour améliorer TE. Après le moteur de recherche c'est un système d'évacuation des déchets. Ici aussi c'est l'occasion d'une très belle photo où la lumière joue un grand rôle.
Une photo très graphique et très agréable !
Amicalement,
Jacques

Hallo Rob & lol
TE sure needs some sort of major overhaul. The reflections & repetition of the pipes & crosshatch window pattern work well here. Tfs!

Volkomen met je eens, Rob.
Het is gewoon een ramp!
Indrukwekkende shot, TOP analyse in je note. Ik deel je mening van A tot Z.
Ik wens je nog een fijne avond, laten wij hopen dat er een oplossing komt want dit kan ECHT niet langer.
Tot gauw,
Fulvio.

Hallo Rob,
A good and unique takes that visually illustrates the chaos of TE lately. Very good light and colors. Thank you for your footnote to try to clarify what is happening in TE. Excellent POV.
Best regards,

After 3 weeks of absence from TE I have the feeling the server goes slower and slower. A nice idea.

Hi Rob,
Good continuation to the engine picture. Steel and blue sky looks so good together. And this if full of symbolism with those thick pipes.

The forms, the colors, the close crop, the darkness... That's a great abstraction. As strong as the way the TE server worked last weeks, even if it seems to be okay now !!
Probably thanks to you...
Interesting arty compo.

Dag Rob,
U schopt gewoon op het zere been, het is reeds zolang bezig, veel beloven en weinig doet de zotten in vrede leven, een oud spreek woord van mij moeder. (mijn moeder was ook een Nederlandse)
Maar de fietsen sturen is misschien de aanzet om de knoop te ontwarren, en ons wat beter sevice tegeven, en niet doen zoals eergisten met mijn kritieken, ze er allemaal afhalen en geen antwoord geven op mijn email, waarom ze het doen!
Gelukkig heeft onze vriend Jaap mij terug over de schreef gehaald, want anders was ik verdwenen met de noorderzon.
Groeten,
John.

Hi Rob,
Very original and appealing shot. The lighting and the reflections in the metal make it very attractive. I really enjoy to look at it and you realize that it would equally good if you make it a vertical picture or turn it up side down. TFS and have a nice evening!
Cheers,
Ulf

Je voert de architectuur verder dan normaal, Rob het betreft nu zelfs de IT! En de design lijkt me nog plausibel ook. En en passant is het ook nog een zeer knappe grafische foto geworden. Chapeau !
Fijne avond,
Bert

Hi Rob,
En het heeft nog geholpen ook! Een mooie combinatie van die stalen bedrading tegen de glazen achtergrond. Het lichtspel op die buizen is erg sterk.
Groeten,

This is probably a very symbolical sculpture, but I also taken it is the same way as you proposed it to the TE IT manager: a very nice set of pipes!
All the best,
Emmanuel

Hehe... something that is certainly and badly needed, Rob... really a great humorous one, very appropriate these days... weeks... who knows... regards, Daniel

hahahaha, I can see that I've been missing some pearls from your wonderful sense of humor, Rob. Can't decide which one I like more, so I'll just stick with this new wiring. Very creative capture and also a very photogenic sculpture. All this methalic stuff together with the grilled façade and reflections make a superb graphic image.
groet,

Un titre humoristique qui cadrait bien avec la situation; maintenant tout est OK.
Composition artistique parfaitement cadrée avec goût.
J'apprécie beaucoup.
Amitiés.

Well spotted!

Je foto's zijn een echte verrassing voor me : je hebt een heel bijzondere en verrassende kijk op de wereld. En bovendien technisch mooi gebracht zoals dit voorbeeld. Ik kijk uit naar meer.
Groetjes,
