Evening Reading
by Brian Leahy, Nov 02, 2010 5:00pm PDTSo the real guitar for Rock Band 3 isn't going to be out until March 1, 2011, which is a really long time after the game's release. I'm curious how people will rush out to get the MadCatz controller, which is certainly capable of handling Pro Mode, but isn't a real guitar.
Furthermore, will people that can't wait and snag the MadCatz controller be upgrading to the real deal in a few months? Time will tell!

My SideWinder is starting to break down, I've accidentally LOL'd and WTF'd too many posts just because the thing decides to double click at random. Recommended mice for FPS/strategy? Don't really care if it's finger/palm grip. I like things with many seemingly useful gadgets and features that don't really do anything but look cool.
Thaaaanks!

Now if only anime as a whole would get better....
I know a lot of people here don't specially like it, but some of the messages about love, life and death are simply too subtle to notice in a first viewing. Trying a more abstract or open-minded approach to it may help in understanding some of the concepts.
I love how the three different stories have different "endings" to them.

With the new Xbox dashboard update, the Xbox Live Indie Game Channel has royally been given the finger. The channel is no longer in the Games tab section, and if you use the Game Search feature, indie games don't seem to be part of any results. Obviously, you can see how this can cause exposure problems for many indie devs.
How can you make a difference (hopefully)? Head on over to https://connect.microsoft.com/site226/feedback/details/618834/xbox-live-indie-games-missing-from-games-category and vote the problem up ( click the green arrow ) so that it gains the attention of Microsoft and hopefully they revert the changes made.
You do need to register for Connect in order to even see the page linked above. So please, take the 5 minutes to do so. Indie devs need all the support they can get, and as an indie dev working on an XNA game now, this is a major bummer to me as well. So please, vote. Thank you!

I'm currently editing a woman's manuscript, having cut my teeth on editing journal articles, the work of other creative writers, and some copy-editing. The thirteen inches of screen space I have on my Macbook just aren't cutting it. I have four to five documents open at one time, plus the windows I have open for looking up stuff online, the PDFs I have open for journal articles and whatnot, and a window for music. This is getting very cluttered and unmanageable real quick. Any tips from y'all single screen users to clean up my interface on OSX? Spaces is in use but it's not that much help since I can't look at everything at once.

So i have a task with two child tasks, if i assign the same person to the two child tasks why doesn't it schedule the second one to be after the first one, it assumes that the person can do both tasks at the same time :(
Also I fucking hate the word "resource", was so hard to stick with "people"?

For my business we have a spreadsheet template that I made up, print out, and use to record the monies for the day. On one side of this page is a table with 3 columns:
Column A - Labels the Type of Money Collected for Each Row (ie: Retail)
Column B - Monies Collected for Each Type for the Day
Column C - Month to Date of Monies Collected for that Type
Ex:
Type Today Month-to-Date
Retail $20 $50
So, now I've gone back and added formulas to the spreadsheet so I can just type everything up and have it all added automatically instead of the pen, paper, and calculator approach. At the bottom of each column is a total for the entire column.
My dilemma comes to these three columns. I keep a separate sheet for each day in the workbook. What I want to happen is to be able to add in the values for the current day and have it be added to the previous sheets "Month-to-Date" amount so that it keeps a running total essentially. So for the next day if I add $15 to the "Retail" row of sales I'd like the "Month-to-Date" value be automatically adjusted to $65 for that current days spreadsheet.
The simple answer seems to be to redo this in excel, but I thought I'd ask here. I am fairly limited on my coding knowledge. But, nothing a quick google and few examples doesn't let me get through...
Help?
