According to Engadget, Trolltech it's the "biggest little company you've never heard of", since it's software is used in more than 10 million devices, and it the owner of QT, wich is used by Skype, Google Earth, and Photoshop Elements.. etc.

One of my first Blogger compelled quests: How to pretify code on by blog ? Among others, I found google-code-prettify that seems to work well (as can be seen in the previous post). The only problem is that it seems you have to host the files somewhere else.

I found an article on VBAExpress that helped me to implement Regular Expression search on Excel, using VBA:

Sub RegExp_Late_Replace_1()
'Late binding
'Dimension the RegExp objects
Dim RegEx      As Object
Dim Myrange As Range, C As Range

' create the RegExp Object with late binding
Set RegEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")

' set the RegExp parameters
With RegEx
  'look for global matches
  .Global = True
  'look for strings that are not numeric
  ' Dave's original pattern was "[^\d]+"
  .Pattern = [Example1PatternB]
End With

' set the Excel range to parse the ActiveSheet B3:B12
Set Myrange = ActiveSheet.Range("B3:B12")

For Each C In Myrange
  ' Replace non numeric strings with ""
  C.Offset(0, 1) = RegEx.Replace(C.Value, "")
Next

Set Myrange = Nothing
Set RegEx = Nothing

End Sub

My new adventure on the blogosphere... because I think I'm a geek, and a nomad!
The objective is to keep a record of my work, gadgets, wishes, milestones, end everything else I find interesting to remember... my digital scrapbook!
