Farewell To OpenOffice Spreadsheets Here
While updating the old spreadsheets to cover the new error traps in my current project, I happened to open the OpenOffice spreadsheet I had built for the next part of this project. Trash. Garbage. Landfill. Somehow, during the update I made from OO 3.0 to 3.1, the 3.0 spreadsheets became unusable. Cell addresses in other cells became #NAME rather than the cell address originally entered. And as soon as I typed in the corr...

Project Restart
The math project will be restarted. I believe the final gap in ensuring the complete and total accuracy of the entered data has been incorporated. In addition, the presentation format has been modified to reduce the numbers of files necessary to comlete the presentations, and, therefore, the work needing done, to simplify the task and shorten the process. It means disposing of all the current files but the end should just...

An Associated Press-Yahoo! News poll s...

What Country Do We Live In?
Has this ever happened to you? For anyone who has Cingular Wireless, you might be experiencing the same problems I'm currently having. They are migrating the records from Cingular to AT T and I haven't been able to pay my bill since I first tried on Thursday. It is now past due, even though I was told by a customer service rep on both Thur Fri there would be no late charge and it would not be past due because they understand customers are unable to access online pa...

To err is human. To really mess things up you need a computer
The very first bomb that the Allies dropped on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo, it is said. The NATO attack on Serbia in 1999 (the Kosovo war) killed more animals than people. Smart weapons, such the Tomahawk missile is supposed to hit a postage stamp at 300km or more (200 miles or more). But only two out of thirteen actually hit the target....

Overruns and breaches
The press is so eager to report President Bush's errors that it is too lazy to research terms of (1) Overrun ..... flood waters so high that it runs over levees (2) Breach ....... a hole in the levee .... holes allow flood water to flow unimpeded, often becoming larger the more water flows through...

Home, Then Charleston SC
Home from Omaha. Finished 5th out of 10, then won a mini. Wasn't a total loss. Rebuilding lost project, have the basic framework done. New spreadsheet, format. More changes being looked at, now's the time to do them while the files are still as small as they are. They'll grow into monsters. Spreadsheets are massive as it is, but new error traps...

Base Number revisited...
Base Number, a simple concept... Rather than starting with the last draw or from nothing to track lottery results, start with a "base" number that has some statistical significance... such as the MODE or the MEDIAN... Each draw, measure the difference from the results to this base number and seek patterns and trends in the (now negative nad positive) delta data... I think that with my error correction mask, I made this concept harder in my own sheets than it needs to be... I m...

Won't do that again
Tried a blanket prediction today on Tony's suggestion to use multiple states recent winning numbers. I chose ten states and input their recent winning number into the LP Prediction Wizard an viola.... Nothing.... Ouch, I shoulda stayed in bed LOL. It's ok Tony I'm not blaming you, I had to try it at least once. It seemed like a good time since not all states have a sunday draw. I think I'll stick to my state specific predictions from now...
