I have a bit of software that uses the office interop (.net wrapper of COM classes) library to import data from spreadsheets. Some of today's imports failed, the issue turned out to be that the person who edited them put a double line border on the bottom of the last row of cells. Somehow that convinced Excel that it needed to return an extra row when I asked for the range of cells that were in use. The parser then barfed on the empty row because strings that look like "" can't be converted into numbers, etc.

Thankfully one of my eagle eyed coworkers spotted the difference. Otherwise I'd be ranting about excel being a buggy piece of crap and inexplicably returning an extra blank row in some files that I had to filter out.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.
