Thus, finally, blanks are produced in the narrowest sense. The accreditation as surveyor, which K. neither really receives nor does not receive, namely has the character of an official communication, the reading of which yields only a blank, undescribed sheet and makes any hermeneutic decision about it impossible: "You interpret, Herr Vorsteher, said K., the [accreditation] letter so well that in the end nothing remains but the signature on a blank sheet of paper". Like the "judicial organism" in *Proceß*, the world and administrative events in the *Schloß* remain "eternally in limbo, to a certain extent." The elemental activity of this bureaucracy, its procedure and concise method, seem to consist in the crossing out or crossing through of its acts and files. The castle space has presented itself as an endless series of barriers and boundaries; it is this drawn, 'swollen', and stretched barrier itself. That is why it is not surprising if the decisions, the ukases, communications and letters from and out of this world are themselves barriers and boundaries, that is *barré* or crossed out.

# Ultorg beta
Greetings, and thank you for your interest in the Ultorg database software!
Ultorg Desktop 1.0.7
You can find the latest beta of Ultorg here, with some instructions: […]
If you need help getting started, just let me know. Feedback is very welcome--in particular to hear what uses you find for the software, or if there are particular improvements which would significantly enhance the usefulness of the system. Always happy to chat! There's also now a public issue tracker at https://github.com/ultorg/public_issues/issues , which you are welcome to post to. I will be posting common questions/problems there as well. Eirik Bakke Founder, Ultorg Inc. – [https://www.ultorg.com/resources/]
Tech Talk: Ultorg at the 2022 HYTRADBOI Database Conference
An edited 9-minute presentation and demo of Ultorg, presented at the first online Have You Tried Rubbing a Database On It (HYTRADBOI) conference on April 29, 2022. Ultorg is a general-purpose, graphical database app that connects to existing data in PostgreSQL, CSV files, and other data sources.

Tech Talk: Ultorg—A General-Purpose User Interface for Relational Databases A longer talk about the Ultorg project, hosted during the pandemic by MIT CSAIL Alliances. "Ultorg's founder and CEO Eirik Bakke proposes a solution to arbitrary relational databases through a single, general-purpose user interface that non-programmers can use to interact with arbitrary relational databases."

Demo Video: Queries from "SQL for Data Scientists"
In this demo, we connect Ultorg to the example database from Renée Teate's freshly released book, *SQL for Data Scientists* site 
. We then recreate queries from the book using Ultorg's visual query interface.

Demo Video: Which Banks are Still Processing PPP Applications? In this demo, we use Ultorg to analyze public data about the U.S. government's Paycheck Protection Program, a stimulus package for small businesses. With the program's end date quickly approaching, small businesses will want to apply through banks that are processing applications quickly. We use Ultorg to join data about eligible financial institutions with data about approved PPP applications, to find the banks that approved the most applications in the program's last months, and which might still be accepting applications.
