It's hard to call Orion a project. It's just an Excel 2007 workbook that I currently use to manage my time. Since, I've started posting code samples from it, so I thought it might be useful to provide some background.
Application Working Title:
Orion
IDE:
Microsoft Excel 2007
Database:
Microsoft Excel 2007
Code Languages: Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)
What is it supposed to Do: Intermediate solution for tracking my work.
History: In 2010, I didn't renew my license for
M$ Acce$$ and I had to abandon my Hawkeye tool for work tracking. I still had to
track my work, so, I began using Excel. I named the file Orion.xlsm since Orion is also a Navy aircraft like Hawkeye and is used for patrolling for submarines. I thought it applicable. At the time, it was supposed to be a simple interim solution. That was four years ago. Now it consists of nearly 40 worksheets, contains approximately 2000 rows of data covering only the last year, since I purge the data at the end of every year. So much for "interim" tool.
