I have a calculator in the office that delivers very bizarre results to calculations.
100 + 10% = 110 (in most rational places)
However my Casio J-100w tells me it’s 111.1111111. Better still 100 + 60% comes back as 250.
Every other calculator I get my hands on gives me normal results, but this one is from the twilight zone…
Had a call on my mobile from a “private” number…
The connection was bad and it sounded like they were calling from inside a helicopter. She told me they were representing some company about to have their IPO and could they get my email address to send me some info.
I said certainly… my email address is B I L L G @ M I C R O S O F T . C O M
“Thank you” she said, “and you are from Denmark, is that correct?”
I said sure…
At that point I started to lose it and said I’m in a meeting, gotta go…
Playing around with a few RSS feeds and I needed to see the structure of the document. I trawled through 3 or 4 different open source projects before I found Peters XML Editor. It’s not supported anymore, but it does exactly what I needed it to do without any fuss.
