Jason D. O’Grady notes that today is the third anniversary (January 6, 2009) of the release of Numbers ’09, and he thinks it’s time for an upgrade.
… Numbers performance is anything but speedy. In fact, it’s abysmal. I have a relatively tame no-formula five column table with 6000 rows and changing a value in a single cell requires 20 minutes to update the graph. That’s 20 minutes – not 20 seconds. With all the processing horsepower of a MBP, that’s absurd.
Come on Apple. Upgrade Numbers!
I couldn’t agree more. Numbers is way past due for an upgrade.

This is the 2012 update to the Numbers port of David Seah’s Compact Calendar. It is a “candy bar” style calendar that allows the user to see an entire year at a single glance.
The Compact Calendar is an excellent tool for quick project planning. Here is David’s description:
The Compact Calendar is a simple printable calendar that’s presented as a continuous candy bar of time. It fits on a single page, and is easy to print out for use during planning or group scheduling. Because the weeks are presented as one giant stack of available time, it’s easy to count weeks and figure out what can fit around meetings, holidays, and weekends.
See his site for a customizable Excel version.
The file has two week styles:
* Week starting on Sunday (traditional)
* Week starting on Monday
I also made some cosmetic adjustments this year to more closely match David’s work. The first day of the month now has a gradient fill, and the months are separated with a blue border.
