I’ve had a borderline shit day and then I was opening my mail which I hate doing because it’s always bills. But then these two things came that tickled me to death.
Maggie’s on the High Honor Roll again. I never achieved such feats.
And the Nissan Cube is finally paid off!

Audio (MP3): 20171206 - Almost two years have past
Not long after my ex-wife moved out I couldn’t stand to be in the house alone in the morning. Like after Maggie went to school the stillness was unbearable. I couldn’t wait to leave to go to work.
Now that almost two years have past I’m sitting in the family room, just watched Maggie get on the school bus, and physically I’m in the same place but emotionally I’m a 1,000,000 miles away. I’ve made the house my own, got rid of furniture, replaced it with new things, and now I’m okay just being here by myself in the morning.
In fact, I really don’t want to go to work this morning. I’d rather sit and dink around with the Christmas lights than drive my work desk.
Anyways, we make it through the hard times. Let go of what once was and embrace what now is. The pain of the present becomes the fading memories of yesterday.
If we do the right things for the right reasons, when all is said and done we’ll be okay.

This is what happens when I try to take a nap. I don’t know where they come from but they’re here within minutes.

Netflix quietly acquired the rights to Altered Carbon at the start of 2016, but this sprawling story required a larger production than your average original. Canadian outlet The Province reported that Netflix moved into a state-of-the-art studio in British Columbia that could accommodate hundreds of staff, and Gizmodo wrote that per-episode spending could end up in the millions. If aesthetic and visual believability matters to you in your sci-fi decisions, evidently Altered Carbon will fall into the Westworld-y higher-end of that spectrum.
Mark your calendars: Altered Carbon will hit Netflix on February 2, 2018.

Some days on the way to work I curse the stoplights at Prairie and Riverside in St. Charles.
Other days I’m grateful they force me to pause for a moment.

I’m eating brownies with a spoon right from the pan. On a Monday. Before dinner. Because I’m a grown-up and I do what the fuck I want.

Moving forward don’t change the spreadsheet, just use the columns already provided. If you’re not sure about a column look at the documentation link. That’s what it’s for. It provides an explanation of the column and an example value of what to use. I understand that you’re trying to be helpful but when you don’t follow the rules it just creates more work.

Maybe lock the spreadsheet? People don’t listen.

Oh, I need him to fill it out and then return it to me so I can import the data into his website. I wish you could lock the header row. Maybe that’s a thing. š¤

You totally can! You can pick which cells are locked and which are able to be filled in. Finally my excel skills are coming in handy.

I actually kind of love Excel. Every time I wonder whether it can do something, the answer turns out to be yes. Plus if you’re good at Excel, people look at you like you’re some kind of wizard, so that’s nice.

My favorite was when I wrote QUOTIENT(F3,30). I was pretty proud of myself.

An Excel thing happened yesterday, wherein the best long-term solution was for me to learn to code Visual Basic and write my own functions. And I guess that sounds a little extreme, but it’s actually exactly the same as when I decided to learn Danish because I couldn’t read something on Facebook, or the time I liked Dave and therefore ended up living in the sub-Arctic. So I guess that’s just how I am. Anyway, Excel is the best.

VB was the first GUI-based programming language I learned. I wrote a basic web-browser in it once. Why? It was my own reading-Danish/Dave-liking experiment. š

Haha, awesome :)
Do you remember any of it? I’d like to know how to make my function check whether the input is non-numeric, the issue being that the lab data it’s working with will sometimes have gaps in it, so the input cell might be blank or say ND (non-detectable) or something like <0.001 (less than the lowest amount the lab can measure). Right now I’ve settled for making the cell only accept numbers, but that will be a pain in the ass for entering the lab data because it won’t let you paste it in if it happens to be non-numeric. So, e.g. I have =COPPER(A1) and cell A1 is restricted to numeric data only, but I’d prefer that the COPPER function be able to check and return an appropriate value if A1 has something that isn’t a number or if it’s blank.
…I’m not a programmer. I know just enough to get myself in trouble. :P

I think you should be able to do something like…
Dim HardnessCheck As Boolean
HardnessCheck = IsNumeric(hardness)
If HardnessCheck Then
Copper = š
Else
Copper = š
End IfBut keep in mind I haven’t been on Windows intentionally or in VB for literally years.

Cool, I’ll give that a try!
I’m in deep trouble right now with a 2-dimensional lookup where I have to round the input in order to look it up. I AM LEARNING SO MUCH.

· Dec 13, 2017 at 4:27 pm
You know what’s REAL FUN? Realizing that for the past 2 hours the entire problem has been a typo in a cell reference. Ok, back to the copper thing.

By the way, your IsNumeric code worked great, thanks :)

I do my monthly payables/receivables in Apple’s Numbers.app. I have formulas to calculate my monthly budget, how much I can spend per week, day, etc. based on what’s coming in and what’s going out.
So one month according to my calculations I could live pretty high on the hog. But then when my bank account overdrew I soon realized a formula typo had given me an inflated sense of financial luxury.
I shallwould forevermore pay much closer attention to when copying and pasting cell formulae.

Ouch. Funny thing with this one is, I did copy and paste it and there is no reasonable explanation for how it could have changed.

I have a reasonable explanation: Excel.

I started this on Friday and just finished it.
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(“’”,C$7,”’!”, ADDRESS(ROW(),MATCH($B$1,INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(“’”,C$7,”’!$A$5:$P$5”))),1)),TRUE)
It’s a goddam masterpiece and is going to save me days and days of tedious manual cell referencing. I think I leveled up in Excel.

And that critter lives all in one cell? I think you skipped three levels with that puppy.
