oocrap

Once again, I used oocalc for 15 minutes and then became angry. I could not delete a graph I juste made from a 5-column 30 lines dataset. Pressing delete gave me a stupid error without any solution. So wtf? I have to start a new workbook?

Also, I probably won't be able to control oocalc from OLE (or something else), comparing to Excel.

delete service in windows 7 / 2008

To remove an entry from the list of services in windows 7 / 2008 (and maybe others), first get the full name of the service (win+r, services.msc).

Then, in a command prompt (win+r, cmd, run as administrator), type
sc delete servicename
where servicename is the full name of the service. If it contains spaces, put double quotes around it.

It may be necessary to reboot for the service to be completely removed from the list.

cygwin packages and binairies search

For example, searching for strings utility:
cygcheck -p strings.exe

Best to add .exe if you know it's an executable --- it will narrow the search.
