basically just use a windows tablet as a smartphone with skype and you've got a better calendar exerience than apple/exchange

it's weird how bad contact and calendar sharing in exchange is, also it's funny that office 365 couldn't do away with public folders.

also, pf owns bones, but the version that is in FreeBSD (which pfSense runs) lags behind the version in OpenBSD

you might find installing OpenBSD to be an interesting adventure

also this will probably be of use https://calomel.org

ok so if I get a switch and plug the laptop, my modem and my airport all on it I can use pfsense to configure it so that all the traffic goes from modem to pfsense and then to airport (and back ofc)? how much loving about would that be and does the switch need to have some features that I need to look for?

see i don't have a very strong cj background so this is a seriousquestion.

It wouldn't be hard to do this and you could use a dumb switch for it. IF you trust your network. If you want it to be secure then you would have to fux with vlans and make sure the switch enforced those measure.

like you can just set up dhcp on the pfsense and that will set up everything on the lan to go to there, and disable dhcp on the modem / airport and set up those 2 and pfsense with static ips, set the pfsense's wan etc.

do it in a new column and drag down to spread the formula and have excel update the field automatically

is this not what your goal is or have you never used excel because this is like kindergarden level excel

is CELL an excel function that self references?

it doesnt seem to work that way

when I swap it out for an actual cell number, and then try to replicate it by dragging, it doesnt work and flakes out

i have got through life having dodged using excel very much thus far

no CELL is what you put A69 into

e.g.

=A69/(60*60*24)+"1/1/1970"

then you drag it down with the "fill handle" (dark "plus-sign" shaped cursor): http://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/867-excel-apply-formula-to-entire-column-row.html

and when you drag it down, it updates A69 to A70, A71, etc and your new column should be full of human dates

which step in the process isn't working for you?

lol

make a new column B
in "cell" B69, put in the characters =A69/(86400)+"1/1/1970"
drag that down from "cell" B69 all the way down to B219 and it should copy that formula into each cell, autopopulating the "cell" in the formula from A69 to A70-A219

i dont like the magic trackpad. i had it 2 jobs ago and it made my hand cramp up

my labtop's trackpad thing supports 2 finger scrolling which is pretty rad, but i just plug in a regular mouse all the time so i never even use it

now that i think about it, is there any benefit of magical trackpads over a mouse + mousewheel?

so i have a domain, and i want to get a cheap vps so i can put up random poo poo. I dont want to run a game server or anything and i dont expect much traffic. and i dont need to torrent with it.

would it be all good to get something like this?

https://portal.catalysthost.com/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0 KVM in Dallas, 1 CPU | 512mb | 20gg | 3TB bw | 1 IPv4 | 12 IPv6 | $30/year

or this for $10 a year:

https://my.crissic.net/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0
2 CPU cores
256MB RAM
256MB vSwap
50GB HDD space
1TB traffic
1Gbps uplink
1x IPv4
16x IPv6
OpenVZ/SolusVM
$10/year

or $5 a year in sydney? might be best bet, cheapest and closest to me
https://secure.ransomit.com.au/console/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0
Sydney, Australia 100 mbit 50 GB 128 MB 2 GB SSD

these are probably all overkill, just wanna run maybe nginx, and some internet facing services behind it. (python app? java app? lovely "blog"?)
is 128mb ram going to be too little?

don't rent a server unless it's generating revenue
