Oh, I have used OLE (or some iteration thereof) to drive Excel from Python. That was a long time ago, but it sounds similar. I wasn't really doing GUI, though - I was using code to build spreadsheets from data files.

Do you mean Visual Basic for Applications? How are you creating a GUI in Excel?

The Wake didn't really click with me until I heard the recording of Joyce reading the episode with the two washerwomen. I realized the references, puns, and in-jokes are basically just bonus material for me. It's the dream images

Me too! I remember laboriously typing in the demo program from "TRS-80 Color Computer Assembly Language Programming" and watching it bubble sort the text on screen by directly accessing video memory.

I often fail to emote properly, for whatever reason, and more than one person has told me I'm obviously lying (usually about something trivial) because of it. I can't watch the show Unbelievable - it makes me too upset.

My old headset would disconnect at random. It had its own physical mute button. At some point, Teams decided to switch microphones for me without telling me. So when the headset came back online, Teams continued using the built in laptop mi

For years we stored Adams natural peanut butter at room temperature with no ill effects. A large jar usually lasts less than a month. Then one day I noticed it says refrigerate after opening on the label. I wonder if that is the reason why,

My old boss had a cable with an RS232 connector with configurable pins. Back in the 90s and 2000s, there was a lot of equipment using RS232 but there was no reliable standard pin configuration. That often meant building a cable specifically
