Dave Winer has been talking about the lock-in Apple seems to be performing with it’s new Podcasting support. One of the things he mentioned was no links in the descriptions of the Podcasts. Obviously this is a problem and really needs to be solved so that BigCo’s aren’t shitting on the little guys.

In my opinion one of the coolest features in Excel is the Auto-filter. It works quite well when using 1 drop down filter but when combining more than 1 it can become quite hairy. In my experiences not many people use multiple filters so it doesn’t particularly matter. The thing that really get’s on my […]

I do a little bit of development with Microsoft SQL server and recently I edited a couple of tables and some really weird problems started popping up. A few of the views that were referencing that table weren’t behaving at all, really wierd faults as well. It turns out to fix the drama, you need […]
