Spyke

Posts

Spirograph - OC - method below.

Took a colour changing lightbulb and put it into a sealed empty Pringles can. Suspended this from a frame by the power cable. Made a small hole in the Pringles can for the light to come through. Pointed camera upwards and took a long exposure of the swinging can whilst changing the colour of the lightbulb using the remote. Really happy the way it turned out. (Was the third attempt after trying with laser pens, etc.) It really simple to set up and you can generate a lot of different effects.

Functions behind paywall

Had to vent somewhere; spent a few week on and off developing a compensation system in Excel and PowerBI for a company with several divisions. Pretty simple stuff; they just wanted to benchmark and log compensations across different geographies.

In order to populate some dropdowns I used the functions SORT, UNIQUE and FILTER for the first time. Was told all clients use Excel 2019 whereas I have a office 365 subscription. Well it turns out these functions are not available in excel 2019 home and business; only in the Office 365 version. (Even though I checked the version numbers of excel and we were all using the same).

What kind of money grabbing scheme is this.... Was a simple workaround by creating the same functionality with a few lines of VBA but even so.....
