Putting a list into SpellingCity.com

Are you trying to get a list of words into SpellingCity.com and need to remove numbers from you list?

Example List:

1. Internet

2. Router

3. Reddit

4. Youtube

5. MMORPG

6. GeForce

If you have several of these kinds of lists, and want to get them in SpellingCity.com without the numbers, there doesn't seem to be an easy way. If you just paste the list above into the input box, you get a "Validation Error".

Well, a Guy at  a House is here to help you!

Highlight your entire list and copy it to the clipboard with Control-C.

Open Microsoft Excel (I bet you could do it in Google Sheets too. Yup, you can; see below)

Paste your list into cell A1 using Control-V

Click the A column header to highlight to column, then click the DATA menu at the top, then click the Text to Columns button at the right.

This screen comes up.

Choose Delimited, click next.

Remove the check mark from TAB and check SPACE instead, then press finish.

There you'll have your list of words in (probably) column B and can copy and paste that into SpellingCity.com

Here's how you do it in Google Sheets. Same basic principle.

Boon!

As I requested (prayed) before, the Internet Gods have Granted me a boon. We were able to get internet with Nextlink, and now I get 25 megabits up by 5 down for the same price I was paying for Nortex. Yahoozzz! I really like the people at Nortex, but the service out here in the country was not up to par.

Brendan is about to go to check into is college form room for the first time.

I just wrapped the month of hell at work and am now beginning to go back to normal.

COVID-19 sucks and we hate it. Fortunately I don't have any close close friends who've had it. Some coworkers from my old job have, and I'm scared. Washing hands 10 times a day (really) and wearing a mask in public. Some stupid morons feel that having to wear a mask takes away their rights. I'll give that up in order to continue living. I got lots to do yet. Andy is a Sophomore doing school from home this year, and Kayley is in 5th grade. Jen is teaching in-person, virtual, and with paper packets. She is a super-woman.

I'm back for a hot minute

It blows my mind that this is still here after all these years! I was trying to figure out my login for Runescape and came back here to try and find some clues, since I wrote a lot about Runescape on this blog. Didn't figure it out, but had some good feels. I'm playing Elder Scrolls Online now, and have been for about two years. We still live in the country and have shitty Nortex internet. I wish the internet gods would grant me a boon, because I'm in internet hell. But at least I can play some days.

Also, when I logged in here, Google offered to sell me some hilarious domains. Nope, but thanks for the lulz.

Can you heal Vesna?

I'm very very late to the game, but I just started playing The Witcher: Enhanced edition on Steam. I have a quest called "She's No Early Bird" which is to get Vesna back to her grandma's house.

I found an old topic online here http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/950892-the-witcher-enhanced-edition/46132576 that says you can't heal her. Well, got news for you boys, all you have to do its go and meditate for an hour at a fire and she's all healed up. Problem solved!

(and Hello! I haven't posted on here for a long long time!)

I am alive

I am alive! New job, moved to a new house in the country, doing well. It is so dark here at night! Biwions and biwions of stars!!!

Reset Windows 8 Password

If you ever lose your Windows 8 password, here's a good way to get back into your computer. Of course, you'll lose all your files, but if you're dumb enough to forget your password, that's the price you pay. http://gateway-us.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27003 Use the following steps to reset Windows 8: From the login screen, click the power icon in the lower right corner of the screen. While holding Shift, click Restart. Click Troubleshoot. Click Reset Your PC. Click Next. The system will reboot and begin Preparing to Reset the PC. At the Reset your PC screen, click Just remove my files. Click Reset.

In case you are ever trying to get your WMP54G to be detected by a new freshly installed Windows 7, just plug in the wired network cable and have it search for the driver in windows update. It detects as some kind of Dell wireless card, and works great. I spent hours looking for a driver before plugging in the cable for something else and being pleasantly surprised that it found it right away.

Clonezilla

I haven't yet written about my new job at The Children's Shelter (which I started September 17, 2012.) I need to do that. What I'm here today to do though is remind myself about clonezilla.org, a free program that does the same thing as ghost or acronis.
