Black swan

Natalie port man play in black swan. This is a new movie. Well, it is fitting as we will soon sing a swan song. It will be for Excel VBA or visual basic for apps. This makes me sad and then some. I prefer to listen to lady gaga. Here is a question for you. How many people are wearing bright red ties in the video telephone gag? Check up on our answer.

Google and Microsoft

The differences between Google and Microsoft are many. Still they are two big powerful companies to compare. I wish Microsoft tried to become more social and relevant this year. Excel 2010 is an excellent product and so is its service. However, we need more intergration with the web to power our spreadsheets as we move on.

XLVBA is now

Basically, using XLVBA we are able to automate our spreadsheets and keep them running. This is not that easy. However, we get faster machines each year. Yeah, and more computer power.

XLVBA outsourcing

XLVBA is wonderful for us. However, it is low pay. Well, what can we say. I understand that a manager want to increase revenue. Also, that they try to cut expenses.

Sadly, many of those programmers want to come to america and work at 7-11 for the minimum wage.
