        ****ing Poly. The tech on this site is so ****ing awful.

        Fixed. URL was too long so poly butchered it.

                      I can see it being a really useful tool if you're an economist (or in one of the other social sciences where economic metrics are important).

                      Saw it first on somebody's econblog about 6 months ago.

                        I certainly welcome any technology that will help me spend less time trolling central bank databases. The ECB's is ****ing terrible...

                            Audio podcasts are a nice break from music listening while working.
