    Finally broke down and got a DSLR. Entry-level, but I love it so far. And a selfie:

    Excel help

    Had to do some serious nesting, but this seems to work: =IF(AND(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("~*", A1)), ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" ", A1))=FALSE), "", IF(AND(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("$", A1)), ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" ", A1))=FALSE), "", IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" ", A1)), TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1, " ", REPT(" ", LEN(A1))), LEN(A1)))...

    In Python, how can we determine whether an n-digit integer is an Armstrong number or not?

    Just revisiting an old thread as I have just recently started to learn Python. This seems to work. I didn't play with too many numbers though. def is_armstrong_number(num): # Convert the number to a string to calculate the length num_str = str(num) num_length = len(num_str)...

    Has "Been there. Done that." already been mentioned? You may have been there, but there is no way you experienced it the same way as I.

    Explain, please. "Organic" refers to something that is relating to or derived from living matter. This should include all foods, regardless of how much it has been processed. The meaning has been altered recently to indicate a food that is processed without chemicals and such. Folks pay much...

    What words / phrases don't you like?

    The misuse of the coveted apostrophe, especially when used professionally in news articles or billboards. "Jenin resident's escape tear gas during Israeli raid." "Possible shark attack's prompt heightened patrol's at New York beaches."

    What words / phrases don't you like?

    All of those. VIN numbers, PIN numbers, HUD displays. Probably more I can't think of right now.

    What words / phrases don't you like?

    Being tarred and feathered, or burnt at the stake. I imagine they are a little worse than overcooked carrots. Or even brussels sprouts.

    What words / phrases don't you like?

    I was just reminded of another: "organic" when referring to food. I am pretty sure that no person or animal on the planet has ever consumed food that was not organic.

    What words / phrases don't you like?

    "Myself": I can't think of the last time I've heard it used in the correct context. Even with professional writers, on TV or movies, anything. "If you have any questions, please contact Mark or myself and we'll try to assist." *cringe* "Hack": overused as some kind of attention-getter when...

    No one Folding anymore

    I miss SETI@home. Folding and Rosetta have gone cold. I looked at other projects and see that some have an OcUK tag, but they're dead as well. I can't find the Distributed Computing thread because I'm drunk, but if there are other projects I can back OcUK with, please let me know. Should we...

    Book Library Management Software

    Calibre is a great program for sure. I've used it to convert items to eBooks. I wasn't aware it did inventory of physical books. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Book Library Management Software

    Does anyone use any kind of software for managing their book inventory? I'm hoping to be able to enter the ISBN and have it automatically pull cover photos, descriptions, and all that good stuff. Perhaps something that can help me categorize and sort and arrange on my shelves. PC software...

    Pentagon releases UFO footage

    LOL I watched that for 35 minutes before I realised he was wearing a Detroit Tigers shirt. :) I guess I'm just so used to seeing them I didn't consider it out of the norm. Good stuff.

    Been doing sous vide for a few years now. Despite the thousands of recipes on the webs, beef just isn't as good as other cooking methods. The fat just doesn't break down enough, even after searing. Always experimenting with different cuts, though. :-) Chicken and pork, however, blow away...
