You can’t easily freeze rows or columns in the “Excel sense” in Numbers–Apple’s version of a spreadsheet.

UPDATE: I upgraded my OS X to Mountain Lion recently and I am not sure if it is as a result of the upgrade, or some other setting change I may have made, but now if I hold down a letter key for a short period, I get a tool-tip style box (right) that then …
Home for Christmas…
I don’t have any idea how many people might see this (I really should introduce some IP tracking software on this site)… But for anyone who’s interested, we’ll be home for Christmas. I have a few things to do in Thailand that expire mid December, but I might manage to extend them until later in …

it’s 5o’clock somewhere
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin’ slow, An’ so am I. Work day passes like molasses in wintertime, But it’s July. I’m gettin’ paid by the hour, an’ older by the minute. My boss just pushed me over the limit. I’d like to call him somethin’, I think I’ll just call …

We say Good-bye to Hua Hin

When I have moved I have generally flown (occasional bus, and once a train) everywhere. We’ve been in Bangkok for the last few weeks and this …
Zeller’s Congruence
I was working on something a few weeks ago, and I needed to calculate the day of the week in PHP. I honestly thought it would be too hard. I thought there were too many variables: leap years, non leap years for years divisible by 400, and maybe something else I hadn’t thought of… As …
