Re: [PLUG] code 10 years old

I actually had a Linux system utility from 1996 that I wanted to start using again and thus upgraded it to include some new options. It still mostly worked so there was almost nothing to do. That's more of a testament to Linux system call stability (or maybe extensibility) and less my coding practice but I was pleasantly surprised.

I am happy to say that code I wrote for windows messing with excel spreadsheets still works as seamless and better the python excel library I wrote in 2006. While it isn't much, it makes me happy.

Speaking of which, does anyone remember MJD's talk where he pulled code he wrote in the past and compared it to recent times with new hardware?
