You just reminded me I tried to make an office addin a few years back and distribute it on the office store. Terrible experience trying to get Microsoft’s admin/business center (whatever it is/was called) to verify I was actually

I’m not Michael - presuming you are referring to Michael the PM. I was a dev. I’ll add you on LinkedIn. Great to here you praise auth. I almost forgot getting auth ‘right’ inside Excel was a real time burglar.

This was a nice surprise to see today as an Ex-Excel developer who worked on trying to bring Python to Excel (and, I guess, failing ;)). 7+ years ago I had the option of leaving the Excel team. My then boss’s boss knew I had an interest in

Recall Christmas Day eating some sweets (which I didn’t like) and playing this (which I did like). I got this for my 6th (?) Christmas. Most memorable things for me were demonstration of gears (using mammoths) and the guy who would pop up i

I also worked on Excel and in the calc code. XOpers, LBLs… it’s all coming back. We never figured out what the Hungarian prefixes kml and ptg stood for. There was a rumor kml might be the initials of duanec’s girlfriend Recalc or die

I was wondering where she is now - her LinkedIn says Amazon. Looks like she went back into academia before that. Wonder if she worked on any more projects like this during her 2nd stint at university.

I’m looking to naturalize next year. I’ve heard that with the current administration after filing to naturalize it takes 6-12 months due to additional interviews in the green card (not naturalization) backing up the naturalization queue. Co
