After I retire, the college website will be switched from Drupal, which uses MySQL in a civilized fashion, to Modern Campus, which uses Excel. I don't envy the person who will take over from me.

Why on earth would you build a CMS with excel.

I mean I know why but WHYYYYYY

from Drupal (..) to Modern Campus

wait what? It exists! Not going to link it. Just put a .com at the end. Says nothing about excel (or Microsoft), though the site looks horrible and has all the key-, tickle- and triggerwords that make me want to puke.

It's Oracle. They have attractive little salesgirls who target faculty, telling them they can have this "awesome" website without techies. What they don't tell them is, any new feature has to be done by them, and it costs. With Drupal, someone asks me for a feature, I can set it up for them in a few days.

I have to start myself a faculty, then.
