Spy Journal 3.0 Filtering the web for you

Since Blogger introduced labels, one of the pressing concerns for those publishing via FTP or those on blogspot who don't want to switch to a Layout based template was how to automatically list all the labels used on the blog in the sidebar. Blogger does not provide any template tags for this in Classic Templates (maybe they will at some point, but adding new features to Classic Templates probably isn't a high priority, if at all).

We followed these instructions on how to add labels to blogger templates to successfully add label lists to all the old SpyJournal blogger templates.

Yesterday evening as I was about to go to bed one of my developers Doug, sent through a link to a forum post outlining a serious calculation error in Excel 2007.

This afternoon David Gainer, in the Excel team, posted an official response to the Excel 2007 Calculation Error.
He outlines the background to the problem, the specific issue in Excel 2007 and the solution.

It looks like it will be 10-15 days before a patch is distributed.

I will keep you all updated.

Navipane contacted me to review their addin for Excel on this site.
I went to the Navipane website, downloaded, installed and used the Navipane addin for Excel. I noticed there a bunch of similar addins for other Microsoft Products, notably PowerPoint, Word and Access.

I am using Excel 2007 so this review relates to how I interacted with Navipane in that environment.

When installing you are required to have Excel closed.
The first thing I noticed after opening Excel again was that there was an addin menu called Navipane in the ribbon, and a resize able tabbed window had opened up on the right hand side of the Excel pane titled Navipane System.
The tabs listed are Home, Sheets, Favorites and History.
