Ah, yes! The world was utterly lost without a 150-row #spreadsheet of #knife #steels 🤔🔪. Who knew so many people were crying into their soup about #edge #retention and corrosion resistance? Now you, too, can spend hours debating the merits of CPM-S30V versus VG-10 instead of actually cutting anything. 🍴🤷‍♂️

MorphOS developer Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek announces his "CellBasics" program in the MorphZone.
The standard Excel syntax has already been implemented, but the common functions still need to be programmed.
CellBasics is an almost completely self-written program, only the formula parser and the routines for loading xlsx files would be ports of open source libraries.

Mind blown🤯 - turns out that #LibreOffice #Calc can natively read some (but not all!) variants of the ancient #Microsoft #Multiplan file format.

Multiplan was a #spreadsheet application from the early/mid '80s that preceded #Excel. More info on the format in this excellent 2023 post by @Thorsted:

And Multiplan is still available here:

🤣 Oh joy, someone finally figured out how to run #Linux inside Excel—because what could possibly be more efficient than shoving an entire operating system into a spreadsheet! 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, GitHub continues its quest to redefine "productivity" by cramming #AI into everything except common sense. 📈

Total sidenote, just for #auspol nerds, here's the #spreadsheet fun I've had …

I nerdswiped myself because of my old faithful tactic being unavailable — I'll reveal it even if not valuable to most people — I used to take the Family First HTV and say thank you, because they were very useful — and then turn their HTV upside down. A handy alignment of 180° interests, in the 2010s for me. But they don't run everywhere anymore.

But once you go past the 2PP candidates, it doesn't matter of course
