we were prevented from working this morning by a lack of communication infrastructure, so i slept a couple of hours extra in the office.
i had a major fight with the xmldom, and only learned upon leaving that i was using it all wrong. i wouldn't have been using it incorrectly if we had internet access from our office so that i could ******* CHECK online.
and the dog and i had a fight about his "time-wasting" superpower. i was a bit worried by how intense it got, but it seems to have been dissolved. it got me to come up with a solution to a problem that the mongoose and the dog have been having for months with excel files. don't ask how.
no, really. not even as a joke. it will upset me. stop thinking about doing it. i'm not going to respond if you do. i'll delete your posts. and then send horrible viruses to your pc. and your mum. and i don't actually find your mum that attractive. in fact... well, let's not go there.
the two of us did our monthly shopping, came back to his gran's, ate an amazing canneloni lunch, had a beer, and i've been napping since.
i woke up with a call from the previously mentioned girl - i was half-asleep and didn't once have to say "could you say that in english?", so i'm impressed with myself. we talked arbitrarily for 20 minutes, which was a bit awkward because i don't know how attractive i find her... i'll find out on wednesday, it seems. we're going to a concert.
the dog and i are on our way out, to do some drinking and chilling, and then some heavy partying. i'm rather keen!
What was the problem you were having with the XLS files?
ReplyDeleteNOTE: I am not asking about the solution. You said I couldn't ;)
dude, you're too sneaky for your own good. i'm in a good mood this morning - and too tired to bitch - so i'll break and let you know what i thought of.
ReplyDeleteand then you can tell me what a ghastly workaround it is.
we have an asp file generating a csv file on the server for later perusal.
for some reason when we run the asp file on the host server, the csv is no longer readable by excel (even though we've checked and it's still formatted perfectly)... the price one gets used to when working with hebrew.
so i suggested yesterday that they write each value on a new line, and give the client a tiny vb ap that builds a csv file from the nsv (newline separated?) file. anything to not use the host server.
i would suggest, to you and anyone else reading this, that you go outside and do something interesting to make up for the time wasted on reading this.
next time i tease your curiosity, don't take the bait ;)

Someone beat me to it, I see. But send ther virusses anyway... that way I can infect the company's network before I leave.
ReplyDeleteMy mom would not appreciate it and she'd make you regret it too. Dude she raised me which tells you... she would have you for a breakfast snack.. hehe.
no, no. the viruses are personal in nature, home pc's only. they will hunt you down like a dog. or is that duck? i can never remember.
ReplyDeleteyour mom would make me regret passing on viruses? i DON'T want elaboration on "breakfast snack"... are you ADVERTISING your MUM?!?!?!
now i've seen everything.
