I’m not sure where I got the following file (a quick Google didn’t reveal much) but it is incredibly useful. It takes “short” form data (ie, personal data and your responses to a number of questions, all stored on one row) and converts in to “long” form data (a row for each question answer and […]
Having found nothing online that helped, here is my attempt at rolling-year calculations based on certain criteria. This could be used for personnel data (days worked, off etc in any given time period – in this case a year) or product sales data (how many sold in any rolling year).

This will simply detach if your parent SSH connection […]
Update – for the results of this on my iTunes library see here. This script uses DRC-Meter to compare the dynamic range compression of your ‘old’ mp3s to the ‘new’ iTunes Match .m4as. It could potentially be used to determine if iTunes has replaced any of your ‘original’ mp3s ripped from old CDs with ‘new’ remastered versions […]
