Earlier quoted context omitted.

Have you found any interesting personal projects to use Q/Kdb for? I've been trying to learn it for years but haven't found anything to use it for that really makes me want to learn.

I am currently working on something which is roughly a "knowledge/document/media relation" database based upon treating Michel Foucaults "Archeology of Knowledge" as a specification for software. If it's workable and interesting I will get a domain for it and show it off, if not it's a good project to learn on.

This has huge potential! I really like the idea of an niche programming jobs site. I've been jealous for some time now of the design community which seems to have many such job boards. I was also stoked to see Q and J make it into the title. I've been learning q/kdb over the past month and keep asking myself "what am I going to do with this?" (other than personal projects of course).

I'd like to see its opposite: http://dysfunctionaljobs.com/

Registered! Anyone got an idea what to actually do with it?

For some reason, it makes me think of jobs where, given the same inputs, you perform the task the same way each time, but somehow manage to not recall any of what you've done...
