At times, when composing software, there is the palpable sense of beauty -- the comp sci equivalent of hearing the chorus of Beethoven's Ninth. That feeling is Code To Joy.

About The Author
- Michael Easter
- I am a computer scientist, part-time philosopher, and part-time cyber-scriber. After many wonderful years in St Louis, Missouri, I have returned to Prince Edward Island, Canada. Java pays the bills; Groovy provides the thrills. I am not a musical composer, but play guitar and am learning piano (on/off). I'm fairly literate with musical theory, structures, etc. That said, my main hobby these days is running with some (indoor) triathlon. Alma Maters: UPEI and University of Waterloo

On my home machine, I stopped the Postgres service. There is a known issue with anti-virus software regarding restart.
Though highly tempted to write a profanity-laden rant towards both PostgreSQL and Windows, I channeled my energy.
PostgreSQL is an excellent database. It's ultimately my fault for messing with it. I should have heeded my innate fear of stopping any Windows service.
