Docs ? Dear me, I thought it was a medical question. You know, with the online visits that have been in vogue, along with mentioning google. Am I the only one who reads too much doesn't read enough into these things?

My daughter's school uses the Google education platform, so every teacher and student is tied in.
Her intro to CS teacher gave them a problem to solve:
Create a science laboratory reservation system for the science teachers.
She created an awesome solution using only Google docs. They actually rolled it out and used it the next semester.
Solution:
For each school day,
create a sheet that any science teacher can update.
Left column is the list of labs:
Chem A
Chem B
Bio A
Bio B
Phys A
Phys B
Columns going across are the class periods.
She created a master schedule sheet that was displayed via Calendar view, that linked to each day's sheet.
Click a date, type your name in the periods you want for a particular lab, done!
Pure elegance!
No DB, No forms, Mobile ready, and built-in concurrency all via Google docs!
A big part of the grade was based on the documentation which she asked me to review.
My one suggestion:
Describe how someone would set this up for the next school year.
I checked back later to see how she handled the doc update:
"If you need help configuring this for future school years, please contact me."
I almost cried as I silently appended "... for a qoute".
I am sure she will grow up to be a consultant!

Even the spreadsheet is fairly good for basic graphs.
I use it for plotting personal finance graphs.

Just don't try to migrate anything away from Google's services.
If you thought MS was doing everything it could to block interoperability, you haven't tried to leave their services and take your data with you.

Well, I guess we know why this chap had problems buying some cheese. It would seem this bloke got there ahead of him. Is anyone surprised he was French?

What I wanna know is, why do some people insist on calling it a pie? It's a freakin' pizza, m'kay?
If words didn't matter, "pizza" wouldn't exist and we'd all be calling them pies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some guy with a web site said so.
Well, I guess that settles it.
|
|
|
|
|
What is a pie? Can you come up with a useful definition of pie that does not exclude anything that you consider a pie, but that does exclude pizza?
...ok, but now can you do it without being cheeky?

|
|
Dessert? With whipped cream or ice cream not being totally out of place?

The first was for "escorts" in Mumbai. An easy one.
The second, a skillful (compared to most) advertisement that mimics a lot of the current trend in (commercial) television: a lot of stuff, song and dance, often not even peripherally related to the product: the discovery of it's true nature is near the end. If this had been a video, I'm sure we'd see young people with big smiles and lovely teeth in all sorts of exciting situations.
