It should really be "Talk like Robert Newton Day" since he was the origin of the "Aarrrrr!" style of speaking.

Got E-Mail from a LinkedIN autoBot.
I clicked and took the survey.
Last page asked if I would be willing to speak to someone from LinkedIN
I entered my phone number, and left the written message about how I would be happy to speak to a living human being from LinkedIN who has a voice.
They'll probably sell my number to junk callers.

Surely that could be arranged.

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
..
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

Without bad... how would you know what is good?

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.

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?

Ew. I use OleDb and the ACE engine to read and write Excel.
But today... I found out that when I set IMEX=1 -- the system says the file is read-only.

You might want to look at EPPlus[^]. It is a lot saner than Office Interop.

If we ever do a major rework of the rest of the Office integration in the app swapping out the MS component might be worth it; at present, we'd still need to check for unsaved changes/etc.

Mainly the joke about American beer being like making love in a canoe.
I know it doesn't quite reach MM's standards, but some people can be quite sensitive about that sort of language.
