Eid holidays are already upon us and the European holiday season is just around the corner (sorry American readers - we'll see you all in September). If you want an out-of-office message that's out of the ordinary, check this out from the Icelandic tourist office.

Craig Hatmaker, founder of Beyond Excel and a regular speaker for EUSPRIG, joined us in the Full Stack community this week to showcase his multidimensional table-based approach to modelling. At Full Stack we're big fans of people who bring innovation to modelling. A lot of our members are now working through his website to unpick this methodology. It won't be for everybody but it's well worth looking into.
