knowledge transfer

In honor of Erik and Danielle who have pasted some entertaining instant messages into blogger, here's one that went down between me and Jack Virgil today. It's a great tool we use for sharing information that's useful to each other. Here's an obvious example of that.

jman- if you ever need to write a script that is repetetive
jman - except for some parameters that constantly change
jman - a guy that was here gave me a good idea
jman - in Excel you make a column for each line of your code
jman - then you insert a column between each of those columns
jman - then you number them going across
jman - then you add the total number of columns to those numbers
jman - so if you have 12 columns, the numbering in column 1 would be 1, 13, 25 etc
jman - then you cut and paste them all into column 1 and sort by number
jman - then column 2 is your ordered script all ready to go
virgil - WTF are you talking about?
