The Sherlock URL Once and for all - the Sherlock URL is here: To use this plugin you need to be running OS X 10.2 - Jaguar. sherlock://homepage.mac.com/vng1/Canada411/SherlockChannel.xml?action=add To get a map of the location - just double click on a row within the table view and your web browser should launch with a map. Known bugs: The channel doesn't add itself to the toolbar. Workaround: Goto the 'Channel' menu and select 'Add Channel to Toolbar' The names 'St.', 'St' and 'Saint' are considered unique. (Thanks Avery - sort've). I'll have to dynamically substitute the names and aggregate the resultsets. Arrgh... Only 25 results come back from Bell. I don't work my way through all the result pages Search is not the default when you hit 'enter' Missing a 'Search All' for the province selection. Provinces should also be fully spelled out. First names aren't dynamically shortened to just the first letter if no results come back. more arghh... 3:44:06 PM

Provinces fixed in Canada411 I've fixed the province bug in the Canada411 Sherlock Channel now. It's amazing how much motivated you can get to fix bugs if you see that someone is actually using your stupid little tool. :-) 1:21:14 PM

Canada411 on VersionTracker now Oohh.. I'm on Version tracker now. 77 downloads and counting. Wheee! Pedro noticed the problem with the damn tab order of the text fields. Arrgh.. this is a bug in the Sherlock dev kit. I've reordered the visual ordering of the fields so that it appears to be fixed, but this is definitely a bug in Apple's code. The good news is that all you people who've subscribed to the channel should automagically get the new GUI layout. 12:54:11 PM
