Swindling TV crook who sold the "Cancer Doctors Are a Scam" books on infomercials is going to jail for 10 years for . . . well . . . being a swindling crook.
the sentencing judge should have sentenced him to 5 years, and then said
"but wait, there's more! if you act now we'll double the offer! That's right, 10 years in prison for the price of 5!"
This guy has been on radars for a long time as a huge scam artist. His claim to fame is 'X things Y don't want you to know about". and then releasing that as a book over and over, very expensively. Like, justice won with that one. He will get right back to it in 10 years time though.
My, whatever, GPA for my uni degree is a couple points shy of distinction average.
Then again the punchline seems to be that I got really fucked around by my degree being so ridiculously broad, since it just means you're dealing with a constant assault of non-complementary knowledge.
I have applied for a whole bunch of stuff this week. The week so far has kind of solidified me on the idea that even if I want to get an electrical engineering degree I would really, really like to do it mostly by correspondence for all the use the damn lectures and contact hours are so far.
Are there any infomercials that aren't some kind of swindling chicanery?
I hate boiling water, and my 'as seen on tv' pasta boat, is fucking amazing. pasta in the microwave, no fuss no muss. I dont have time to sit and watch a pot of water boil.
I am assuming the person made some spreadsheet templates and starts a new spreadsheet for each unit of work, be it a client or a contract or whatever. Probably drops that spreadsheet in is own folder on the public drive or in sharepoint.
Pro tier would be making a table that is the top level unit (client, contract), and have one row for what used to represent each spreadsheet. Put whatever important information that is that top level as a column on this table (who is responsible for the unit of work, project start date, client contact info, etc). And most importantly, set up an AutoNumber field, right click it and say "Primary Key"
Now, make a new table, that used to represent the rows of each individual spreadsheet. The only difference being that the first column should be called unitID or clientID or projectID, and should be a number field. then put every other column from the old spreadsheets here.
Now, set up a form for the top level table, and put a few clients/unit in there.
Now, set up a form for the row-based data, and make the unitID field a dropdown/autocomplete field that has to match an entry from the top level table. You have now "related" the data to the client, which will allow you to have two tables that does the lifting for an infinite number of spreadsheets in the old system.
Whenever you want a classic "client" spreadsheet, you can go into queries, link the two tables by unitID, and drag the fields you are interested in to the bottom area, with the unitID number as the filter by option in the unitID field.
bethryn is right
the perverse reality is that the skill level of data entry peons is much, much lower than the skill level of People Charged With Assembling Key Reports, so it is easier to ask the latter to adapt than the former
I get that.
Which is why, for an incredibly small investment, someone could build a quick and dirty user interface over what I just described, drop the data side (mdb) on the server, and make a pretty little icon that the end user clicks on their desktop (an MDE file) that just acts as the client for data entry.
You could even make the damn thing look and act like the excel spreadsheet they are used to, only you select your client / unit before going into the spreadsheet as opposed to navigating to the file.
Like, it could be so much simpler for everyone at all levels.
and that is a skill level that is then much, much higher than even the unfortunate middle-management report-assembler
Yeah.
It really does need to be farmed out to a developer... the funny thing is, this project sounds like maybe 8-10 hours of work for the coder, followed by some cut and paste data entry to bring the old values in... and would save literally hundreds if not thousands of hours every year, depending on how much data entry goes into those spreadsheets.
Government is the blurst.
even for a private entity, it doesn't just need to be farmed out to a developer. it also needs to be farmed out to someone who can assess the developer's work and gauge if it is appropriate for the business. and here you have the downside risk of the relevant upper management screwing that up and destroying a workflow which was functional, even if inefficient
If the new workflow doesn't work, you can go back to the old way. It isn't "destroyed." In fact, if the new workflow doesn't work, people will go back to the old way anyway because "just throw that data in Excel" is the low-energy default state of the white collar electron orbital.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

Nah, it's this band that pitchfork splooges over and lots of my hipster associates were all ga-ga about. I resisted, but they kept getting so much fellatio I decided to check em. They did NOT meet expectations.

I've found your problem.
They never boil when you do that!
(seriously you don't have to watch pasta, why are you doing that)

You do need to time it though. 1 minutes too far and it goes from delicious to disappointing nothingness.
