Sorry to tease you with that whole cycle touring bit (seriously, that is more important than this, go read it and give me knowledge) but I'm fixing computers again. I am navigating a persistent but random and inconsistent problem with IMAP and Thunderbird that goes something like this ... I can ...
We're scheming, N and I. A trip to the UK with bicycles. I imagine riding through the country side, stopping for tea from time to time, stopping for beer from time to time, stopping to unroll a picnic blanket and read for a while. It seems like there are touring companies ...
9/21/2012: Just use text to columns. Say someone gives you a spreadsheet full of names and addresses and you want to import them into a database that needs first name separate from last names. In Excel, one option is to split the cells along a delimiter. I forget how ...
