can try save as html in Excel.-kimmchii (May 12, 2007, 06:52 PM)
You have any idea what that code looks like? It's a mess. Possibly worse than OOo.-app103 (May 12, 2007, 10:39 PM)
)Then you would have to do a find & replace of all the <'s with ['s and then all the >'s with ]'sthats the easy bit methinks-app103 (May 12, 2007, 03:55 AM)
First you would have to convert it to html, somehow. That is best done manually or in an html editor, as it is the only way it will look good. Using the 'export as html' option can have some bad results.I think I'm out of my depth there already app
Make sure it is stripped of all extra code that is unnecessary, such as font sizes & colors, table & cell width info, etc.-app103 (May 12, 2007, 03:55 AM)

I've been looking for something similar off and on for years. See my second discussion comment on my own post to Askville.com http://askville.amaz...equestId=1760063#top (it's all about me). I don't have the countdown timer, but it would fit well.

| Having had time to sleep on it, here's my vision of how it should work (or how I should work). Two panels, on the left is the editable list of tasks, on the right is an Outlook-style schedule of today and maybe the next business day. You drag the tasks that you hope to accomplish from the left to the schedule in the order you hope to perform them. If you think a task deserves more time, you can drag it larger. You can insert "reward" tasks (15 minutes of a game, surfing, etc.) and/or expansion time where appropriate. When the first task of the day is scheduled to start (hopefully right away), you are prompted to start the timer for that task and add any notes that might help you remember what you meant to do. Shortly before that task is scheduled to end you are prompted to wrap it up (to send a status email, for example). When time is up, you are prompted again to add any notes for that task and also to start the timer for the next task. It will also have a "finished" checkbox so you can take items off the to-do list. If you need more time, of course, you can snooze it. If the next task is reward/expansion time, you can skip it and the next task for the day is brought forward. There should also be a "stack". If scheduled yourself to call a customer and end up leaving a voice mail, you can "push" the task (let's call it A). This will bring forward the next task for the day (let's call it B). If the person calls you back during task B, A can be "popped" back and the B task goes back to being the "next one". All this time one timer or the other is running. If task B has used up its planned duration before you get the return call for A, task C is brought forward, etc. The expansion time is there because there is always some unplanned activity that pops up in the middle of the day. Should you get lucky and not have that emergency, there should be a separate to-do list that is for things that have no deadline but you need to be reminded of anyway (clean the desk, etc.) that you can pick from. Should you exhaust your list of tasks lined up for the day, you should be prompted with the whole two-pane list and schedule so you can either drag items from the next day, or pick a new task from the main list. Reading this back, I sincerely doubt there is an app like this, but would appreciate a pointer in a close direction. Chances are good that I might end up writing this myself. Or submitting a request to DonationCoder. Thanks again. |
Will we ever find a good solution? (rethinking how to solve this problem)-Crush (May 10, 2007, 06:40 PM)
Tomos, you can create such a table with saving to .html in OpenOffice. You only have to copy the result into the modify-Message Window.
Otherwise there are tools like http://www.winload.d...9.7.html?empfehlung2 or http://www.hidekik.c...sv2html/csv2html.cgi to convert .csv-files.-Crush (May 03, 2007, 01:27 PM)
still at task XYZ running for 168mins?
I, ideally, want one that does all the basics (calendar w/ reminders, todo, contact management) plus some advanced features (encryption of data, backup system, import from programs like thunderbird).
In the v3 beta, you already can assign multiple categories (or tags) to a task. Current beta allows filtering just by one of them, but one of next betas will allow more complex filters.I'm very happy to hear that-vradmilovic (May 10, 2007, 03:03 AM)

6. General Software Discussion
We normally just have one "Software Discussion" section in our newsletter, but in the last month there have been so many noteworthy discussions about software that I've split up the posts into two sections. This section has the more general discussions where multiple programs are referenced.-mouser
yes, the bullets should be in, it gives a nice aligned layout..
P.S. tomos, maybe you should try this program for marking screenshots. it took a while for me to find out the hazy circle..-lanux128 (May 09, 2007, 01:52 AM)
Times doesn’t read well on-screen and lacks typographic subtleties such as non-lining numbers. Because it’s available on virtually all computers and designed to be readable on on-screen, try Georgia instead.
