It generally takes a lot to get me to really like a piece of hardware, thoroughly. For example, my experience of Fujitsu-Siemens' customer service was nothing but excellent, but the only reason I had so much contact with them was that my laptop's inverter went three times (to their credit, it's been fine for the past two years or so now, and my brother is still happily using it, but that laptop still sheds screws at the rate of around one a year).
However, a bit over a year ago, I decided to invest in some bluetooth headphones, and picked a pair of Jabra BT620s (warning: flash music thingy) semi-randomly from the field of available devices. A year later, and I can honestly say they're one of the better things I've bought this decade.

It's been a while since I last talked about South, so it's about time I did a short update, I think. There's been a fair few things going on since last time, which was, err, a long time ago.
Firstly, we now have SQLite support (apart from column renames/alters/deletes; I'll be implementing those with the appropriate workarounds soon). This was one of the features I most wanted to roll in, since SQLite is quite widely used for quick development. SQL Server support is also on the way soon!
Also in the news, TWiD's latest episode has some interesting poll results for schema migrations; of the respondents, over half are using one of the premade tools, and of those about 2/5 are using South - good news for the migration camp overall, and a surprisingly high amount for South, considering I have a limited picture of who's using it.
