Okay, so I wanna talk about my little adventure with “light f1 2019”. It’s not exactly a blockbuster title, but hey, it kept me busy.
So, first off, I grabbed my laptop. I fired up Excel. You know, the usual stuff. I was messing around with some data, trying to make sense of it all. I wanted to set up some rules, like, if I typed something in a cell, it would only accept certain values. I remembered reading somewhere that Excel has this thing called “data validation”. I guess this was the stuff I needed.
I started digging around in the menus, clicking here and there. Honestly, it wasn’t super intuitive. I spent a good chunk of time just trying to figure out where the heck this data validation thing was hiding. I mean, it should be simple, right? Apparently not.
I mumbled to myself, “Where is it? Where is it?” I’m sure my cat thought I was going crazy. But after, like, an hour of trial and error, I found it! Boom! There it was, tucked away in some submenu. I’m not gonna lie, I did a little happy dance in my chair.
- First I selected the cells I wanted to apply the rules to.
- Then I clicked on the data validation option.
- I chose the type of rule I needed.
- Finally, I set the specific criteria.
After setting it all up, I tested it out. I typed some random stuff into the cells, and bam! It worked! The cells were only accepting the values I had defined. I felt like a tech wizard, even though it was just a small thing. I guess it is true. It worked for both manually enter data in a cell and the cell’s value is calculated by a formula.
Next, I wanted to make sure everything looked good across different browsers. You know how sometimes things can look wonky on, say, an old version of Internet Explorer? Yeah, I didn’t want that to happen. I heard that using something called a “vendor prefix” could help with cross-browser support. Whatever. This thing I thought might be too hard for me.
So I did some more digging. Turns out, adding vendor prefixes wasn’t as scary as I thought. It was basically just adding a few extra lines of code. I just copied and pasted the prefixes, and hoped for the best. I don’t have any idea about the “binary format” or the “CodePlex” though.
I tested it out on a few different browsers, and it seemed to be working fine. Phew! One less thing to worry about. And I went to that big store, you know, the one with the easy returns, to celebrate a little. I didn’t find anything related to “Light to Night”, though. Maybe it’s just a phrase, not a product.
Honestly, the whole process was a bit of a rollercoaster. There were moments of frustration, moments of triumph, and moments of “what am I even doing?”. But in the end, I got it working, and that’s what matters. Maybe one day I will figure out that “how 2blong 2bwill 2bit 2btake 2bto 2bsee 2ba 2bdifference 2bin 2bmy 2bbody 2bdoing 2ba 2bhikebootcamp” thing, who knows?
The End
And if you see me messing with a computer and muttering to myself, just know I’m probably figuring it out as I go. We all do it sometimes, right?
