The updated look and feel is awesome, had to tweak our logo a bit to get it to sit right in the new look, but overall I'm rather impressed. About 1/2 the new stuff is in places we don't even use, but always good to know that they're working on improvements.

This series was mentioned on Amazon in a review for the Rosetta Stone Bahasa Indonesia (which I'm still waiting for them to update to the v3 software, as I've heard v2 has some serious issues on Vista and v3 has more features), so while I wait, perhaps a free podcast will help...
Update: Flash! Update: Hot! HTC Hero Officially Launched With Sense, Flash, And Teflon – SoftSailor: HTC has unveiled a new smartphone today at an event in London. The HTC Hero has been rumored for weeks, and earlier today it was leaked on the HTC website minutes before the event. Well, nothing else matters now, as the HTC Hero is looking great, it runs on Android OS, and it features a new UI called HTC Sense.
This looks rather slick. I think I want, thus I need to "wife" the old phone. Better treat my phone well, then, she doesn't like scratches or dents...
Algorithm implementation/Strings/Levenshtein distance - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks: Visual Basic for Applications (no Damerau extension) This version is identical to JavaScript and PHP implementations in this article. I had problems when I tried to use the other VBA implementation in this article, so I had to adopt the version below. Application.WorksheetFunction.Min() method is Excel-specific. If you implement it with other VBA-enabled applications, uncomment the conditional block and comment out the Application.WorksheetFunction.Min() line. Function levenshtein(a As String, b As String) As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim cost As Integer
Dim d() As Integer
Dim min1 As Integer
Dim min2 As Integer
Dim min3 As Integer
If Len(a) = 0 Then
levenshtein = Len(b)
Exit Function
End If
If Len(b) = 0 Then
levenshtein = Len(a)
Exit Function
End If
ReDim d(Len(a), Len(b))
For i = 0 To Len(a)
d(i, 0) = i
Next
For j = 0 To Len(b)
d(0, j) = j
Next
For i = 1 To Len(a)
For j = 1 To Len(b)
If Mid(a, i, 1) = Mid(b, j, 1) Then
cost = 0
Else
cost = 1
End If
' Since Min() function is not a part of VBA, we'll "emulate" it below
min1 = (d(i - 1, j) + 1)
min2 = (d(i, j - 1) + 1)
min3 = (d(i - 1, j - 1) + cost)
' If min1 <= min2 And min1 <= min3 Then
' d(i, j) = min1
' ElseIf min2 <= min1 And min2 <= min3 Then
' d(i, j) = min2
' Else
' d(i, j) = min3
' End If
' In Excel we can use Min() function that is included
' as a method of WorksheetFunction object
d(i, j) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(min1, min2, min3)
Next
Next
levenshtein = d(Len(a), Len(b))
End Function
I'm no VBA dev, and it confuses me how all of it is called, so a quick google for:
VBA Tips: Writing Your First VBA Function: Writing Your First VBA Function in Excel About User Defined Functions Excel provides the user with a large collection of ready-made functions, more than enough to satisfy the average user. Many more can be added by installing the various add-ins that are available. Most calculations can be achieved with what is provided, but it isn't long before you find yourself wishing that there was a function that did a particular job, and you can't find anything suitable in the list. You need a UDF. A UDF (User Defined Function) is simply a function that you create yourself with VBA. UDFs are often called "Custom Functions". A UDF can remain in a code module attached to a workbook, in which case it will always be available when that workbook is open. Alternatively you can create your own add-in containing one or more functions that you can install into Excel just like a commercial add-in. UDFs can be accessed by code modules too. Often UDFs are created by developers to work solely within the code of a VBA procedure and the user is never aware of their existence. Like any function, the UDF can be as simple or as complex as you want. Let's start with an easy one...
And I see I have to "Insert" a "Module" to paste the code in. And then it just works. Nice.
I have the hardest time remembering this word. Pan-cha-SEE-la, Pan-cha-SEE-la, Pan-cha-SEE-la. Maybe now it will stick.
Pancasila (politics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Pancasila (pronounced [pantʃaˈsila]) is the official philosophical foundation of the Indonesian state. Pancasila consists of two Sanskrit words, "panca" meaning five, and "sila" meaning principles. It comprises five principles held to be inseparable and interrelated: - Belief in the one and only God, (in Indonesian, Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa).
- Just and civilized humanity, (in Indonesian, Kemanusiaan Yang Adil dan Beradab).
- The unity of Indonesia, (in Indonesian, Persatuan Indonesia).
- Democracy guided by the inner wisdom in the unanimity arising out of deliberations amongst representatives, and (in Indonesian, Kerakyatan Yang Dipimpin oleh Hikmat Kebijaksanaan, Dalam Permusyawaratan Perwakilan, dan)
- Social justice for the whole of the people of Indonesia (in Indonesian, Keadilan Sosial bagi seluruh Rakyat Indonesia)
Anyway, it's way cool...
Twitter Blog: Down Time Rescheduled: A critical network upgrade must be performed to ensure continued operation of Twitter. In coordination with Twitter, our network host had planned this upgrade for tonight. However, our network partners at NTT America recognize the role Twitter is currently playing as an important communication tool in Iran. Tonight's planned maintenance has been rescheduled to tomorrow between 2-3p PST (1:30a in Iran).
I have to admit in my 17 some years in the admin business I have never had to reschedule any kind of system update due to political unrest.
