Nice little tip. Bonus is that by keeping the cord through the loop, it doesn’t come completely unraveled while on top of my desk (which it really likes to do otherwise).
Awesome little tool for checking regular expressions (despite that it’s in flash ).

This is awesome! We’ve been having multiple issues with data loads recently. Especially one file we get monthly, which is not very wide (few columns, with small data types), but has over 27 millions rows.

The problems are clear, uncomplicated, and, I think, undeniable. I have to disagree with Gruber on this one: I don’t think the Google [...]
Very soon, I think, we’ll be adding: 101. Using paper money/coins. But, for me, the real questions are, “Who cares? Are any of us actually going to miss any of these things?”.
