As G+ refused to put this in a comment at [WayBack ] Does anybody know whether the Embarcadero blogs have got individual RSS feeds? And what’s the URL of the RSS feed for all blogs? … – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+ :
No RSS logo is visible for me on the blog pages, but inspecting the source reveals the 404 link below; deducting from that I got 200 results:
What doesn’t work for RSS (CC +Marco Cantù) as you get 404:

Since it was not possible to install PowerShell 3 on ancient Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 machines, I opted for this workaround during the time they were being retired:
I’ve investigating how much work it will be to migrate the machine, as opposed to adapting the scripts with Poshcode/Jaykul modules (of which many have external dependencies that I’d need to check first). It’s about the same order of magnitude, so I’ll be migrating the machine earlier. In the mean time, a different machine will run the scripts and access the required data over a network share.

Base on the below (Dutch) tweet where an organisation had an auto-responder like this:
Thanks for your message. As of 20150701, we have a new email address: foo@example.org.
Did you use any of our old email addresses, then we forwarded it to the new one.
You will get a response to your e-mail within 5 working days.
Any mail to foo@example.org would get the same auto-response.
They should just leave out the first 2 sentences.

I’m from the BITNET RELAY era, so every now and then I need to get used to how things are done on IRC:

WayBack ] MS Excel 2011 for Mac: How to Change Data Source for a Pivot Table :
Refreshing the data is in the “PivotTable” toolbar under “Data”: either
“Refresh” for the current PivotTable or
“Refresh All” for all PivotTables in the spreadsheet
Setting the range of source data is “Change Source” in the “PivotTable” toolbar under “Data”
If your data is on a sheet by itself, it’s better to select the range using column only notation than using column:row notation, compare these:
‘FRITZ!Box_CallList.csv’!$A:$S
‘FRITZ!Box_CallList.csv’!$A$1:$S$401
The last trick makes it way easier to add newer data from an external CSV file into an existing workbook with various PivotTable analysis worksheets:
Append the CSV data to the source
Copy over any formulas needed to make pivot life easier
“Refresh All”
On a 1920×1200 screen, the PivotTable toolbar looks like this:

It looks like the Delphi [WayBack ] TFileStream.Create Archive.is ] TFile.OpenArchive.is ] TFileMode
TempStream := TFile.Open(TempPath, TFileMode.fmOpenOrCreate , TFileAccess.faReadWrite, TFileShare.fsRead);
I still wonder why that never made it into a TFileStream.Create overload, or why these overloads fail to use enumerations or sets of modes.
