I use openoffice portable so its handy when I need it but out of the way (not
using computer resources when I don't use it). I do the same with the chrome
browser as it launches too many processes for my tastes. I don't use
Microsoft Office as its too integrated with the OS. I want my computer to be
like a transformer Lamborghini not an overburdened bus. I put 32gb of ram in
each of my computers and I still feel that way as I have my own plans for the
data space.
One slightly annoying behavior of openoffice to fix is sometimes when I start
it the first time it complains about needing to clean up and quits before
starting but it works the second time I try, however then it tends to state it
is recovering documents I last worked on when I already have them saved and
puts them into a read only state. In addition, there is document formats that
probably need to be added. On the ancient side, there is Wordstar which I
discovered I still have old resumes written in and have to resort to a
different tool to recover their valuable content. On the current side, I am
suspicious that the latest Word like formats supported are getting stale with
the Office fans out there. Hopefully these are not beyond our reach. I don't
personally care about spreadsheet file formats at this time as I only use them
for my own experiments nor for presentation formats usually although I may care
for those soon. I do care about some recent new spreadsheet misbehaviors with
moderately sized data sets I have been seeing which I don't like... mostly
regarding auto filters that cause weird results that are difficult to undo.
This problem interferes with my efforts to develop the information I need for a
special new kindle book on SQL. Do we have a comprehensive list of the latest
formats, bugs, and important features that should be supported but may not be?
Note I am willing to use github for public projects and I am using Atlassian
Bitbucket for my private projects as I can have 4 coworkers in it for free in
that we can use to get started saving the world from data overload.

becoming a better programmer.
