This blog has moved...- August 25, 2004 For various reasons, the biggest being my desire to play around with .Text, I've moved my blog to my own server at http:blogs.duncanmackenzie.net The first post over there shows the app that I wrote last night and then used to copy all of my posts and categories over from this blog to the new location...
