I dont know what to say about this...
So a couple of weeks ago, my cousin Rob called me to clue me in. And since then I have received dozens of phone calls and emails about this...
But no, I have not changed my career to either private investigator or tv actor/stud muffin!
Never the less, I still think it is totally cool that there is a tv show named after me ->
Andy Barker P.I.Hopefully it does not turn out to be Andy Barker PU.

I have just posted an App called
eleMental over at
OpenNtf allowing developers to view and manipulate design documents. I know this is some fairly common code, but I have a view in there which deciphers many of the $fields and values available on the different design docs (script libraries, forms, views, agents, Web Services, etc.)
I'd like to ask for some help with further research. Many of the clues I've picked up I've exposed in the view in an attempt to make this a meaningful reference.
What I am asking for is you folks to share any other values from the $Fields that you know of (the field, its contents and what they signify), and I will roll them into the eleMental views for one and all.
It would also be interesting to share other ways of using this information and what other fields you are manipulating. For example, I have code in the views which allows you to group design elements and documents together into a Design Package which you can push into another database.
(And if you push these views into a target db, you can immediately pull design elements right back out.)
Don't be shy.
OK, can anyone explain this one to me.
This morning I created a new database from a template to check on the settings for element level design inheritance. The template I used has many design elements identified with other templates.
I created a new db twice.
First time: In the new db dialog box, after I had selected the template, I left the "Inherit future design changes" box checked.
Result: All design elements had their individual inheritances blanked out. (And, obviously, the db level one was set.)
Second time: In the new db dialog, I deselected the "Inherit future design changes".
Result: All design elements had their individual settings remain intact.
Why would it do this? Is there a logical reason?
Wow! Congrats to Joshua over @
delicious . He has joined the Yahoo! team as of today, it seems.
I have been a big fan of that service for a while (like 1800 some bookmarks).
He / they have done a remarkable job keeping it running and making improvements along the way.
Hope they can keep up the good work now that they can work from own private tropical islands. ;-)
