Google, not Tesco.

Due to starting another job recently, I've re-discovered Google docs and other Google online apps. I've tried using them before, just briefly, but never really thought about how to use or implement using them.

They're GREAT!

So what's that got to do with Tesco?

I don't like Tesco. Why?

I feel for the local cornershop businesses who can't compete on price but provide the kind of personal service you'd just never get in Tesco.

As a result local shops going out of business, less people walking up the road to get a few slices of ham, or bread, or tin-opener, or shoes, etc. Not bumping into their neighbours, saying hi, seeing how there family are, passing the time of day, etc

Not that Google are Tesco (perhaps that falls to Microsoft?) but they do seem to be getting everywhere and into everything. As yet tho' I can only see how their 'free' apps can only help, not hinder, businesses or individuals...

Indesign scripting - negative object reference

Quick reminder: When scripting Indesign a negative object reference means the "last" of something. eg myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(myTextFile); // the end of a text frame or from the Scripting guide: Note that you can use negative numbers to refer to the layers in the layers collection of a document. Layer  -1 refers to the last (bottom) layer in the collection. eg layer(-1); Beware of dynamic collections of objects. Messing with them will change references to items: http://cssdk.host.adobe.com/sdk/1.0/docs/WebHelp/app_notes/id_scripting.htm#Dynamic_collections_and_object_types
