      ' Dimension all variables.
      Dim DestFile As String
      Dim FileNum As Integer
      Dim ColumnCount As Integer
      Dim RowCount As Integer
   
      ' Prompt user for destination file name.
      DestFile = InputBox("Enter the destination filename" _
         & Chr(10) & "(with complete path):", "Quote-Comma Exporter")
   
      ' Obtain next free file handle number.
      FileNum = FreeFile()
   
      ' Turn error checking off.
      On Error Resume Next
   
      ' Attempt to open destination file for output.
      Open DestFile For Output As #FileNum
   
      ' If an error occurs report it and end.
      If Err <> 0 Then
         MsgBox "Cannot open filename " & DestFile
         End
      End If
   
      ' Turn error checking on.
      On Error GoTo 0
   
      ' Loop for each row in selection.
      For RowCount = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count
   
         ' Loop for each column in selection.
         For ColumnCount = 1 To Selection.Columns.Count
   
            ' Write current cell's text to file with quotation marks.
            Print #FileNum, """" & Selection.Cells(RowCount, _
               ColumnCount).Text & """";
   
            ' Check if cell is in last column.
            If ColumnCount = Selection.Columns.Count Then
               ' If so, then write a blank line.
               Print #FileNum,
            Else
               ' Otherwise, write a comma.
               Print #FileNum, ",";
            End If
         ' Start next iteration of ColumnCount loop.
         Next ColumnCount
      ' Start next iteration of RowCount loop.
      Next RowCount
   
      ' Close destination file.
      Close #FileNum
   End Sub
        

5. Before you run the macro, select the data that you want to export, and then run the QuoteCommaExportsubroutine.

"different...."

haven't blog and updated this for a while... perhaps because of the new twitter, meme, and facebook? nah...

today i stood up and left home for work past 6am... i have lots of things in my mind right now so i took a different path... a path i never havent crossed yet... somehow it felt strange but good... the early walk, the smell of the grass, breakfast alone... it was like going to work on your first day... it was like one of my travels in a different country...

i hope this is a start of a new good beginning in my life...

EDIT: at 6pm of this day, my father died.

I love you Pa. You'll always be here in my heart.
Thank you for everything. We'll surely miss you. Rest in Peace with the Lord.

30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work , Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME. GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.

9 year-old kid created a starwars website !

Today I stumbled upon a Star Wars blogsite created by a 9 year-old kid. Can you believe that??? And I checked the source, he's not using any content management system (cms) to aid him. He's using purely html codes.

I thought he might be 9 when he created this during the time of the movies like revenge of the Sith which is 2005 making him 13 already but his images were from the new Clone Wars series so the site is quite updated, at least 2008 or current. Therefore he's really 9.

I'm impressed on his skills considering his age. Kids usually don't have interest yet on such matters. I have a niece with same age so I can relate and I'm really amazed.

Here's his site: http://www.schwef.com/nolan

The force is strong with him.
A jedi, he will be.

Tweet using command line

simple script that will allow you to send tweets from the command line:

The script you will see takes exactly one argument: your tweet. You use it like this:

$ ~/bin/tweet "Writing my TechMails"

Successful tweet!

Once you run the script and look on Twitter, your post is there for all to see. The script itself uses nothing fancier than cURL to post the text provided to the script.

The text must observe shell constraints: it must be properly escaped for special characters (such as "!" and "?"). The script doesn't require the tweet to be in quotes; you could use:

$ ~/bin/tweet Does my tweeter need quotes\?

Successful tweet!

and it would work just as well.

The script itself:

#!/bin/sh

tweet="${@}"

user="username"

pass="sekret"

if [ $(echo "${tweet}" | wc -c) -gt 140 ]; then

    echo "FATAL: The tweet is longer than 140 characters!"

    exit 1

fi

curl -k -u ${user}:${pass} -d status="${tweet}" 
https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml >/dev/null 2>&1

if [ "$?" == "0" ]; then

    echo "Successful tweet!"

fi

Output of the cURL command is directed to /dev/null because it returns some XML that we don't need to care about. The script also makes sure that the tweet is 140 characters or less, and exits with an error if it is longer.
