Hey, no mention of Lotus 1-2-3? Those wonder geeks gave us the “Menu Bar”. Broke my heart when they lost that lawsuit.
And to add my voice to this day I use spreadsheets to do my creative writing. Each sheet is a chapter. I even use a spreadsheet when I “script” something: On assign each line of script its own row. Then with that row I enter the char motivation, synopsis and/or location in one column, the name of the character speaking in the next column and the actual speech in the last column , I came up with this when I realized how easy it would be to sort by a particular character to list all their lines together. Simpler than using a word processor. And Publisher is just too bloated with stuff I don’t need.

I am still amazed with how spreadsheet changed the way I budget and how I save. It has really contributed so much as I know how I spend and save money, J Money. It also let me to fully know our needs and expenses.

I use MS Excel for our personal tracking because we use Excel at the company I work for. I can keep our expense/budget ledger up in the background while I’m doing “real work.” Then I don’t have to mess around with all the numbers when I’m at home. Just gotta remember to email a copy home once in a while. ;)

In reply to The Grounded Engineer.

Well that’s good! It was a bit wonky the last time I tried it (4 years ago prob?)

Tiller def. sounds too good to be true and prob why it took me a while to finally just go to the site and check it out, haha… It also helps talking to the founder of companies face to face so you get a better sense of their values and reasons behind the things they build :)

I was super impressed with Peter, so from that point forward Tiller was on my “good” list!
