Edison is credited with the quote "Invention is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration". Probably even more lopsided in his case, as most of his "inventions" were developments of ideas that others hadn't been able to materialize. At any rate, I've been cranking out extracts from our OLAP database to our new Hadoop cluster at work. I enjoyed this for about five minutes while I thought about why we normalized things in the OLAP world and didn't in the land of Big Data. Then, it was just tedious.
Still, there's a big difference between knowing how to do something and actually doing it. So, I took credit for it on my training log.
