Today

11:10pm HAST Thursday 09 March 2006 (day 13133)

Wow. Long day with no time to write; I'm 40 minutes late for newspaper meeting now.

Enjoyed watching Emi onstage Emceeing with a guy for this dance-a-rama dealio; I could tell she was nervous when she was MC, but not when she was dancing.

I fought with Windows Sucks today: again with shortcuts not specifying full pathnames, but only relative paths, the most useless idea in the world. Also, Excel Sucks couldn't figure out the pattern in list of sums:

=SUM(B1,B2)
=SUM(B1,B3)
=SUM(B1,B4)
=SUM(B1,B5)
=SUM(B1,B6)
=SUM(B1,B7)
=SUM(B1,B8)
=SUM(B1,B9)
=SUM(B1,B10)

Seems pretty clear that I want to use B1 each time, right?

I couldn't find a way to keep it from incrementing the B1 each time I copied the cell formula. I tried with a macro, but that didn't work at all; I couldn't even tell *what* it tried to do when I ran it. I ended up creating a list of formulas in Microsoft Word Sucks and importing the list into Excel Sucks. I'm nearly surprised that worked.

What *did* work was incrementing times by a specified number of minutes/seconds (specified in cell B1). That was a pleasant surprise.
