Every tree maintained by the City of Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) has "an email address" (in the mainstream press it's been "one email per tree"; in reality it's a single mailbox the CoM staffers respond to)

I like the Fitbit hardware (I use a Surge and love running with it) and their software is decent, but their customer service is atrocious. I found a bug triggered by hitting the "Pause" button during a run. Effectively the device

What's the source of your Australian data? The AusPost data is rather expensive, and most providers have somewhat awkward APIs and/or enterprise sales models that get tricky to navigate. Having somebody to abstract that out to wou

Surely a coffee-infused stout can provide the best of both worlds? That said, unless it's a side project that isn't in real use I don't tend to work after drinking alcohol, but it's a rare day that I don't work "under the influence" of espr

Yep, it's got it's limits - I would only use this in production with carefully crafted queries to try too counter this problem. My usual use is against MS CRM data, which puts a 10k line limit on by default. First instinct for many people i

Depends on the data source, I believe. I think some can be RW however I never use it - allowing users to update data from Excel isn't something I'm keen on, other than possibly as a sysadmin task.

Post author here - I'm about to go dark for the day but I'd love to hear how you're dealing with this both as site builders and as parents.

Excel does this with it's built-in data sources. Typically it can connect to any ODBC data source, which includes pretty much any SQL database and most proprietary databases (although in some cases you'll need to buy ODBC drivers. Yuck) The

It's a poorly designed "mobile" site - not needed since their site works perfectly in mobile browsers anyway. Try the "FULL SITE" link in the footer - takes you to a zoomable version.

Thanks for the clarification - the SP platform is still perfectly usable in non-IE browsers, although as you say a few nice things aren't available.

SharePoint is cross-browser, at least as of SharePoint 2010. I don't believe any functions require IE. Disclaimer: I work for an MS partner, while I don't admin SharePoint our company does plenty of SharePoint work and our clients are hap

I signed up for DNSMadeEasy a few months ago so I could move away from my Registrar's slow & complicated DNS servers. I'm glad I did, the price is pretty good (I have 20 domains listed), their user interface is easy to use, and the temp

I use www.fastmail.fm (owned by Opera) and can't recommend them highly enough. For a family or small business it's great as you can have shared folders/address books, use your own domain(s), and more. The web mail doesn't include tagging or
