Google is Your Friend!
There is a little present for all the lady bloggers who read to the end of this post, so even if you find this boring, well, skip to the end and grab your goodie bag, zeen?
Now, continuing the discussion started in my earlier post which heaped praise on my good friend Google... today a co-worker called to ask me if I could help her out with a problem she was having with MS Excel. She had made some change in Tools/Options somewhere (she couldn't remember where) and now, the results of formulas were showing both in the cell and in the formula bar (which is usually shown just above the spreadsheet. You know what I mean, don't you?).
She wanted to know how someone had arrived at the results in a particular cell, (I guess she wanted to build her own spreadsheet or something) but she just couldn't get to the formula.
Now like everyone else on the planet, (ummm... make that "like large numbers of people on the planet") Mad Bull has used Excel, but to be truthful, Mad Bull would never consider himself an expert in Excel. Mad Bull is more at the level of an informed novice in that particular piece of software... I wanted to say to her, "What do I look like to you, an accountant?!". At the same time, I do work in I.T. ... yeah, it continues, just click on the link below...
At the same time, I do work in I.T. and for some reason we are expected to support the users, so I decided I would try to help. Together we went through the various settings in Tools/Options, but nothing we did seemed to be working.
At this point, it occurred to me, "You ah waste time, my yute, gwaan go chat with your bredrin Google!", and so I did. I entered the search term "showing formulas in formula bar in Excel", and hey presto, the very first link on the results page gave me the answer I needed. All I had to do was click on the cell in question and press Ctrl-Tilde... so intuitive, I can't understand how I couldn't figure it out! Thanks, Google, I owe you one! Friends for life, buddy! 
And so the superhero duo of Mad Bull and Google survived the evil Excel ordeal... tune in again soon to see how together they defeat the next evil villain who pops up to wage war against Mad Bull's users... more than likely it'll be something really evil, like MS Word or some other piece of software I scarcely use!
Why is it that people hardly call me for help with MS Access, a beast with which I am much more familiar? Hey, Google is good to other people too! Check Nena's story out!
Next up is a little something for Campfyah! The other day I posted a nice picture of a lady for the fellahs and Camp asked me to post a little something for her and the rest of my lady readers. (click here to see that post and Campfyah's comments...)
Camp, here are the pictures I promised... (other lady bloggers, feel free to go check this out too). How did I find the pics? If you guessed Google, you win a virtual dollar! 
Enjoy yourselves. Me gone!

I would if I could - I've just tried to find some links of my type but my work computer keeps blocking me from pages... I think 'hot men' just brings up gay porn in google!
I'll describe and see what you / others can do... not too clean cut, dark with broad shoulders! Easily pelased!

thanks for the man pics but can we get some beautiful black men. not too keen on the white guys. hehehehehe

Now Kami, don't you know that gay men lust most after that which the ycannot have? Those men in the pictures may be gay, but quite likely they are not! The webpage spoke of the 10 hottest men, not the 10 hottest gay men! Not because they were selceted by gays... come on now! 
Secondly, I think those guys look great! Tell you what... like Kingston Girl, I challenge you to come up with your own links. Publish them, I'll happily link to you.
And how could you just assume that I didn't put much effort into searching for those pictures for you all... I SPENT HOURS PORING OVER PICTURES OF MEN, trying to select the perfect ones for you all!
Greater love has no man but that he suffers to make his blogdrens happy! Awoah!
As to Natty, I will not allow you to post up those nude pictures of me! Don't you dare! 
Nena, with this post, I was trying to please all colors. I am now going to try to satisfy the various niche markets. I will look for some men of darker hue for you. Check back, zeen. Lets see, what other niches are there out there... Anybody for some midget men?
