I wasn’t able to reproduce the bug until I set my locale to Turkey, and even then I couldn’t figure out what was triggering the problem. Mehmet turned to his local Excel gurus, and then sent me an update email about how he’d fixed it. At the time I didn’t quite understand what he’d done, until I realized that Excel’s Text() function, which is used heavily to convert dates to the exact bits of text I need, was not locale-independent. For example, say we have the date August 12, 2011 stored in cell A1. I can use the built-in Excel function Text() to display the “Day of the Week” in cell B2 as foll...

Cicero said that “gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.” The English preacher John Henry Jowett wrote that “every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.” And according to Aseop Fables, “gratitude is the sign of noble souls.” A dear professor of mine just acknowledged a thank-you note I sent him and told me that “gratitude is the sign of maturity and wisdom.” I don’t feel like I’m very good at gratitude. This virtue comes hard to a depressive whose first thoughts are seldom positive. It has only been with much work and lots of practice that I have been able to cultivate gratitude and be genuinely t...

When the travail of this body, Becomes too much to bear, I’m enveloped by depression With a mood too dark to care. I don’t care if the sun sets or rises, I care not if it’s rainy or dry. Despair aches deep within me And all I can do is cry. Sometimes it’s the pain, itself, Or pain brought on by others. Ingratitude, ignorance, indifference From a friend, a grown child or brother. I know it’s difficult for some, To know what I live each day. They can’t see beyond themselves, Self-interest blinds their way. I recall the tale of the Phoenix A bird that lived 500 years Before throwing himself on a pyre To be consumed, so it appears. Once soaring like an e...

The theme: core Mac/iPhone applications for doctors / healthcare professionals. DrCris’s post is here. symtym’s is here. Walter’s is here. Theresa’s is here. I was a bit apprehensive about posting after Tim’s masterpiece of Mac-geekery. But I decided to go ahead and post a list similar to the ones posted by Cris, Walter and Theresa. I’ll start with a short introduction about me and the kind of work that I do. I am a radiologist practising in a small city in India. In spite of what my twitter friends may believe, I am not a Mac geek of any standing.

What if you forgot that unique password you’ve used in protecting your very sensitive diary entry? Or your formulas in Excel? It would be fortunate if you usually use one or two passwords only because you’d easily be able to remember it. But what if you’ve used an uncommon one? Or a combination of two common passwords? How do you access that document then? For your MS Word, Access, or Excel password recovery needs, you could try using the software, Password Studio Pro!
