Spreadsheet of Nerddom
R. Alex Whitlock
I have an Excel spreadsheet template designed to insert the prices and speeds of various processors. From there it goes into a formula to determine what is the optimum price (highest spead for lowest cost). Today I bragged about this to the coworker I need to supply a computer for. If I keep telling myself "I'm not a nerd, I'm not a nerd, I'm not a nerd" maybe my knowledge of the spreadsheet will magically disappear and I will do what any normal person does: Blow money unnecessarily for the fastest processor we can afford.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
