S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Outlook the client, or outlook the domain? Either way, solid service. I agree with Jessica, Accompli is a solid product with promise.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Great, Drew, thanks. I still have to figure out what I'm doing, because I bought a sweet new laptop, but I need to decide if I'm going to try to run 11 on it, and if so, what I'm going to do with the version on desktop.

Our wings are not tired

If the new laptop us running Yosemite, then you are sort of stuck moving up to PT 11.

Ayup. Or not using pro tools on it, but where's the fun in that? Although it means buying a second copy of pt and I don't have a portable interface although I need to replace the tascam anyway. So. Costs.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm looking for something I am certain should exist. I want to figure out where best to plant trees for shade based on my location and home alignment. Cause the Earth moves in relation to the sun and shading myself in winter is less key than summer. If I could figure out where to plant for afternoon summer sun, even better.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I don't have an app to figure it for you, but it should be possible To work it out from the data on something like [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There might be some options here, Cass [link]

I don't know about trees, since their height will change over time (although I guess you could figure out what height you want them to be and prune accordingly) - I've been looking at window overhang for passive solar. [link]

Oh, good. I was worried that I was not actually being helpful. Yay, science!

An excel problem driving me crazy. (Some might say less of a drive, and more of a putt.) I've managed to recreate it in a 4 cell Excel spread sheet, but still can't figure out what is going. I have a text representation of a number which the VALUE function wont translate. To the right of it I typed the number as text, rather than pasting from the internet site with the data. It look identical. VALUE works fine. As I said, recreated the error in 4 cells. I would be very grateful for anyone who felt like letting me email them a copy of this tiny spreadsheet and look it over to tell me what is going on. If you feel like it, let me know what email to send it to.

One hint is that I used the single quote when I typed it, and that single quote is NOT in the cell I pasted. But not a number, cause you cannot do numeric things to it.

Excel 2007, but same problem in 2003 and in Open office.

Thanks
