I recently heard that a group of scientists are working on a way to transfer the contents of an entire human brain to a single computer. In the present tense, I'm perfectly happy to rely upon brainy database managers like Gaby to maintain the intimate relationship with my computer. My address book is my life, representing the personal results over a decade of business meetings, networking, and social activity. It's true that Linux has plenty of industrial strength database options available for manipulating such information, but using these heavy-duty solutions for personal information is sort of like killing a mosquito with a flamethrower.
Users can define their own custom fields to enter database information.
At least one user of this database uses it as an image browser. You can mold and form Gaby to your whim with the use of plug-ins and extension languages like Python. This database even includes a few nifty features that allow its users to internationalize any database. In other words, the same database you create with Gaby in English can be easily converted to over ten different languages, including Spanish, French, German, and Japanese. Even if scientists do perfect an electronic brain during my lifespan, I think I might want Gaby to come along for the ride.
