As a 2 days late April Fools joke I told whargoulyou guys were wanting us to build an interface to duplicate pizzakarin's spreadsheet on the site. He was not thrilled with the idea...


Man....the flashy stuff would be easy, I just like color coding things. The tough part would be allowing custom rules for people to be able to set their optimal average reading time so that it would color code the reading time to show falling below or above that level.

Ok, I say that would be the tough part, but the part that took me the longest wasn't even doing the spreadsheet, it was deciding on books for the 12 in 12 and Listomania challenges to where there were 12 awards and 12 lists represented (which I noted in that last column). Would be super cool to be able to input your books and it would do that calculation and highlight books that don't represent a unique award or list (while ignoring the fact that two books might have the same aware/list and still be unique because of another award/list). I wonder if I could do that in excel if I managed to put all the award/list correlations into my massive home-library catalog spreadsheet........... .......... ..............

.........this is a very dark road you've started me down. :P
