Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2005 8:21 pm Post subject: my incredible SALAROMETRON beta version |
|
|
I'm developing a SALAROMETRON. What's that you ask?
Well... recently my boss proposed adding some more hours, and I wanted to calculate in Excel exactly how much of a percent increase that was in my work time per month. I also wanted to know whether I'm working more or less than the number of hours in my contract. It's tricky because the contract is based on a 50 minute "hour".
So, the comparison function is not yet finished but I went a little nuts with Excel and now you can print out a day by day chart to see how much you are earning per day, so you know how much they should dock you if you miss a day. I hope you like the program. Try out the beta and give me feedback!

Excel is for accountants. At least use Flash. |

Don't be absurd. Excel is man's greatest invention since fire. Flash is a toy for little girls. |

If you're going by milestones of greatness, then you probably meant to say "since Lotus 123." I'll let that one go.
As to the toy for little girls, isn't that what your program is going to be?
Let me direct you to a useful killer app: hold down the windows button and press r. Type in "calc."
All in good fun, all in good fun. |

No! Bill Gates is Prometheus!
You don't know anything until you've known the joy of VBA macro programming! |

If it works out the way it should, then we'll get to see that his entrails are forever eaten by scavenger birds. Fair enough punishment for bringing us the burning brand of Windows. It didn't help us cook our meals, and make us fat with the light of knowledge, though. More like lulled us to stupidity with its easy to use interface. Not that I'm not a slave to it. I think he's more like Lucifer. Damn him for pulling me down with his fall. I hate computers, but I'm so shackled to them.
Anyway, you're not living up to your idol if you don't turn your program into the all-around magic tool that it can be, especially by giving it a flashy front-end. |

Check with the Beav. He did an amazing roast, all in Photoshop. |

Photoshop is for photos! Illustrator is for illustrations. |

Hey, I don't know what he really used. I'm referring to it as a whole suite of tools.
Hey, is that what you're going to come up with? The Salarometron office CS suite? |

If you ask me, it was a good idea regardless of which platform you used to program it. Good job. |
