      • OK !coderponies - I believe I've made my feelings for Microsoft Excel well-known, but my employer has a raging hate-on for logical processes and quality software, and I want to know: is it possible to use Excel to make a web-accessible multi-user database? We're currently replicating work three, sometimes more times over because we won't move away from spreadsheets into databases. Like going to war with Nerf and Super-Soakers; good for their intended purposes, similar to the real deal, and completely godforsakenly inadequate to the task at hand. -_- tl:dr FML.

        • @scribus The only thing I can do is to express my deepest and most sincere condolences over your work. Using spreadsheets as a form of database is a crime against humanity and the current state of technology.

        • @broniebrown I've told them repeatedly. I've even outlined the wonderful system that would automate hundreds of work-hours a week by making what someone else is already doing count towards the result they want. The only thing keeping me from going ahead and cussing doing it is that I know it would be a waste of time & I'm not getting paid for it anyway.

        • !coderponies # UNIX tip: To search man pages by name and description, use "man -k keyword" or "apropos keyword", which function exactly the same. To see all of the man pages in a certain man section, try "man -s sectionname -k '.*'" . This works because man -k and apropos take a regular expression as the keyword, and .* makes it match everything.

        • !coderponies GNU Stow 2.1.3 released. I haven't used this project yet, but it seems like it would solve a lot of problems with installing packages from source in UNIX-like systems. It manages symlinks in a common directory which point to files from packages that are really separately installed: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-stow/2012-01/msg00000.html
