I've been computing long enough to recall when Dr. Dobb's was a worthwhile rag. In the far away, long ago time, I was a regular subscriber, and learned many interesting lessons from it. But the Internet era, and an unhealthy codependence on the MSFT and Java crowd, sucked the life out of the good doctor.

So I was happily surprised when by chance I headed over to see what VB/C# pimping the Doctor was doing these days, only to discover this article on dashboards: a very commonsense, yet important, set of datapoints and conclusions.

Gives me much food for thought...DBIx::Chart is in dire need of an update, and I must admit to serious penis envy when viewing some recent developments for charting tools.

Guess I gotta find a fresh cache of tuits...
