@scottalanmiller not yet. She has to tidy her room first.

Google Maps Coordinate is now included with Maps Engine Pro, which is $5 per month. So they obviously listened to your complaints that it was expensive and have slashed the price dramatically.

Maps Engine Pro was recently renamed My Maps Pro.

My Maps Pro has now become completely free. I'm not sure where this leaves Google Maps Coordinate.

So many changes, I'm struggling to keep up!

"The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say 'no' to almost everything"
Warren Buffet

"People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the 100 other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the many things we haven’t done as the things we have done."
Steve Jobs

"Suppose you woke up tomorrow and received two phone calls. The first phone call tells you that you have inherited $20 million, no strings attached. The second tells you that you have an incurable and terminal disease, and you have no more than 10 years to live. What would you do differently, and, in particular, what would you stop doing?"
Jim Collins

"Time is the one great leveler. Everyone has the same amount to spend every day. The next time you feel that you ‘haven’t the time’ to do what you really want to do, it may be worth-while for you to remember that you have as much time as anyone else — twenty-four hours a day. How you spend that twenty-four hours is really up to you."
William J. Reilly

Uugh! I hate job titles. I wish they didn't exist. I'm just looking for something that may make it easier for people to find and click on our add on Monster.com.

That video's a bit Spinal Tap.

Given your recent posts, I'd have thought you'd have written your own Python routine

I certainly need something to back up my Flickr account.

Trying to stay cool in the office and keep my productivity levels up - I'm struggling. It's hot here and we've no air-con, just a fan which is hardly doing anything. In an hour I'm off to celebrate my colleague's 40th birthday in a nice beer garden somewhere, so it's not all bad. Especially as he's driving.

It sounds like this could all become quite a hassle and as a result quite expensive. My gut tells me this is one of those few situations where paper > tech.

5 years! Its a bit early to be planning. I did go to a talk at Google a while ago by a large London local government who had given all their staff one and largely ditched Windows - several thousand employees. So it can be done.

SSN = Social Security Number, right? Like our National Insurance number in the UK. Is that so sensitive that you have to encrypt it on your phone?

I tend to store numbers as a normal made-up contact on my Hotmail account. The contact name will give me a clue as to what the number refers to, and I might write the number backwards or have some other crafty way of writing it that only I can interpret correctly. Basically doing my own kind of encryption. So I might have a made-up contact called Sue Smith - her initials SS referring to Social Security.

It's quality not quantity that counts. J. D. Salinger and Harper Lee only wrote one novel each.

Knowing that an MSP might be working on your stuff whilst you're on holiday provides a good incentive to get your house in order and properly documented. It is for me, anyway.

You're the best @Joyfano

I think you've hit the nail on the head there: static is nice but doesn't scale.

Fair enough. In my head, your 7Ps is spoken by Pippi from the film Mr Popper's Penguins.

I trialled the cloud version of Jira + Agile last year (I can't believe it was 7 months ago, my life is speeding past way too fast). I wasn't too sure about it. But I've just installed the on-premise version, which is essentially free for 10 users, and am giving it another go.

Installing it was ridiculously easy, even for a Linux novice like me. I downloaded and installed the minimal install of CentOS (first time I've done that), and then you just download and run the Jira installer. You then just point your browser to port 8080 on the server and you're off. It took me a little while to work out how to open the firewall on CentOS, but after that I was flying.

I'm going to try and use it to manage my new ERP project.

When I was 16, my parents went on holiday and left me at home alone for a few days. We lived in a detached house next door to a pub. It was a hot summer, so I left all the windows in the house open, and played music at full volume, as I partied with a few friends. We even moved the speakers into the garden at one point, to soundtrack our game of football. It was all very irresponsible, as teenagers left alone for the first time often are.

My parents came back, and a few weeks later they told me that several neighbours in the street had been bothered by loud music that they assumed was coming from the pub. Complaints were made against the pub, the council got involved, and the pub's licence was at stake. The pub apologised and promised to turn its music down in future. I knew nothing about this. I just said "that's interesting" and kept my head down. I never told them it was actually my fault.

I still feel a bit guilty about it.

Lol. I did leave an RDP session to work open on Sunday and my lad jumped on and tried to get it working. He said "the password wasn't accepted", and I said "that's because I'm logged on to work with my work password" and he said "Oh, ok, can you let me have your work password then?".

It's more of a problem with our sales reps letting their teenagers use their work laptops. All sorts of trouble can occur then.

I like them. It generally means I can ditch a product after a few months if it doesn't work out and replace it with something else. I don't like commitment and subscriptions generally allow me to be promiscuous.

The downside is administrating tons of monthly invoices. I have to logon to different Microsoft portals each month to download invoices as they won't even e-mail them to me. It's a complete pain and I hate it.

Their kids don't even need to ask if it's written on a post-it note on the monitor.
