Add another developer/DBA/sysadmin to the lot. I'm toil in all kinds
of stuff and most of it ends up in a PostgreSQL database someplace.

As for interests w/ Pg, recently I've become a time series junkie and
seem to be spending most of my time collating and aggregating
statistical information. Blek. On a more interesting note, however,
I'm hoping to eventually offer some pl/Ruby code (possibly C too)
that'll let folks use PostgreSQL to store and search for XML documents
using XPath. I did some development using Versant once upon a time
that went from XML->Object->OODB and I've been hooked on the idea
since. With PostgreSQL I think the best we'll be able to do is
XML->CLOB and then run over the clob with some PL magic that'll let
you extract portions of the document via XPath. Someday though, I
tend to stretch myself too thin. :)
