Many offices use Microsoft Excel not just for number crunching, but as a database, scheduler, project management tool, and even a word processor.

Its ubiquitous use can unknowingly be a bottleneck to business processes, despite its apparent usefulness. Excel excels (haha) at summarizing data - that's the main purpose of spreadsheets; however, Excel is often used for every other office process because it tends to be one of the first applications office workers learn to use, and it's easy to adopt to other purposes other than number crunching.

I do very little programming in my normal day-to-day activities. However, I do believe that understanding programming concepts is great at helping me understand application security issues.

I had a bit of free time on my hands this week so I thought I would delve into Microsoft's new (ok maybe not really new anymore) fang-dangled scripting language PowerShell.  I figure that they aren't about to start shipping Perl or Python with Windows so I had better get on the bandwagon.

PEI is a province whose primary agricultural export is potatoes. As a result of this, you are hard pressed to find a road on the island that doesn't have at least one roadside stand selling the illustrious tuber .

What I find great about these potato stands is that none have people working them. They are all set up with honesty boxes.  There is a sign sitting beside the money box telling you what the price is. You, as the honest consumer, are expected to simply deposit the proper amount and take your bag of spuds.

There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Warning: This article maybe of interest to only those who get the joke. :)
