A quick tool for creating HTML tables out of spreadsheet data
While I wish it had more options, this tools has saved quite a bit of time getting data out of Excel and into a table.

Hybrid Onboarding
Google has been working with Plaxo and Facebook to improve the registration success rate for Gmail users. We now see success rates as high as 90%, compared to the 50-60% rate that most websites see with traditional registration mechanisms. This result was achieved using a combination of our OpenID, OAuth and Portable Contacts APIs. While those APIs have been available for over a year, we have added a number of refinements based on our experience with Plaxo and Facebook.

String Date = The date you want to format
String Format = a coded string that is an example of the format you want to use (see below)
MMMM = Full month name spelled out ('August')
MMM = Abbreviated month name ('Aug')
MM = 2 digit month ('08')
M = 1 or 2 digit month ('8')
Day
dddd = Full day of week ('Thursday')
ddd = Abbreviated day of the week ('Thu')
dd = 2 digit day ('06')
d = 1 or 2 digit day ('6')
Year
y or yy = 2 digit year ('99')
yyyy = 4 digit year ('1999')
Hour

MonthMMMM = Full month name spelled out ('August')
MMM = Abbreviated month name ('Aug')
MM = 2 digit month ('08')
M = 1 or 2 digit month ('8')
Day
dddd = Full day of week ('Thursday')
ddd = Abbreviated day of the week ('Thu')
dd = 2 digit day ('06')
d = 1 or 2 digit day ('6')

XSLT: Return a randomly ordered set of nodes [Umbraco]
FROM: http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst5497_Get-x-number-of-uniquely-random-nodes.aspx#30603
We developed a simple solution for getting a randomly ordered set of nodes in the XSLT.
Using a random number seed, we sorted the node-set.
The output will be unique, as we only randomised the sorting; as opposed to trying to access multiple random nodes.
The "maxItem" variable can be changed to take a macro parameter.
