Kx announces kdb+ 2.6 with nanosecond timestamps

Kx Systems has released version 2.6 of kdb+ with nanosecond timestamps as a datatype. Says Simon Garland:

Although a nanosecond timestamp goes beyond the needs of most people at the moment, we have decided to do this now, to give our clients a significant amount of flexibility. This is similar to our leading the market to 64-bits years ago, at a time when this was not seen as essential – now it has become the market standard.

Speakers Corner at Princeton

We'll be setting up a Speakers Corner to collect our stories at Dyalog's APL Conference in Princeton, NJ USA September 13-16 2009. We're hoping to capture anecdotes about how APL is being used today. Have you had a really cool APL experience lately? We want to hear about it. Do you have a new idea you'd like to promote? Here's your chance to see it published on YouTube!

We are also interested in the human side. Have you had an interesting collaborative experience with fellow APLers you'd like to share? Romance?

We'll be taking the top stories to the finish line and posting them on YouTube. So, YouTube is the target for these stories. Keep it short. Keep it simple & rock on!

As a bonus you'll get to meet Iris Ng, my colleague and collaborator for APL: The Movie (more girls with gear!).
