Sometimes Google sucks ass

My old post now turns up an error when you click the Google Books link to The Golden Age of Capitalism:


Don't give me a goddam picture of a broken robot. Stop making changes that break my links.

Oh, and why is my Blogger Preview window suddenly very slow to load?

Don't get me started.

Run a macro by clicking a button (Excel 2007)



No. That's not what I want. I want to create a custom button and put it on a toolbar, maybe a new, custom toolbar. And I want my macro to run when I click the button.

I don't want to click a button to get a list of macros so I can read thru the list to find the macro I need. That's fucking stupid. I'm not stupid.

Or maybe I am. It doesn't matter. In the old Excel you could make a custom button and use it to run a particular piece of code. You can't do that any more in the newer Excel?

I've not found a way.

Football

Takes all the fun out of watching the game when it looks like the outcome is being manipulated. When an official makes a bad call and changes the outcome of the game, for example. Or when Green Bay suddenly starts making nothing but bad calls with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

No, of course I don't have evidence that the outcomes are being manipulated. I don't need evidence: I didn't say the outcomes are being manipulated. I said it looks like the outcomes are being manipulated. I said it takes the fun out of watching football.
