I have loved the ribbon since the beginning, the only thing I like more is the Quick Access toolbar at the top.
Cheers,
Vikram.

Or just keep on going to the old keystroke combinations from Multi-Tool Word for Xenix.

Hmm, maybe that's what happened to my signature which now brings up the signature properties instead of inserting it...easy enough to copy/paste until I figure it out!

Thanks, I deplore Lookout, but my wife couldn't live without it so I forwarded it to her.

Interestingly my Office 365 does not have the option... Even it was updated 5 dats ago...

Microsoft Office has no real competition.
So the only way to do recurring sales is by making changes regardless of whether they matter or not.

We're going full circle...mark my words, one day the "next big upgrade" for Office will turn out to be Office 2003, just rebranded.

Kauan - Fohn[^]
This is the second time Kauan makes it to the SOTW.
Back in 2021 I posted a song from their latest full length album.
This song was released just last week and so the first SOTW from 2023 features a song from 2023.
Let's hope a new full length is following 
Kauan is a Russian post-rock band with a Finnish name (meaning long, ages ago) and mostly Finnish lyrics.
It reminds a bit of Sólstafir and maybe even Sigur Rós and if you told me they were from Iceland I'd believe it.

It's the sort of thing I play when I'm in self indulgent guitar mode

Never been into power metal, I can stand one or two tracks from time to time.
This is good stuff, but it didn't change anything for me.
Back in the day I used to listen to Rhapsody (of Fire) - Holy Thunderforce[^]
It even had a spot in my regular playlist

Quote: Never been into power metal
Me neither ... and with any "other" power metal I stop listening after 20 seconds, in most cases ... euugh (or yawn ... ), and yet ... these LOVEBITES play with intensity of Shadow of Intent, with extreme vocals and extreme guitar solo's, sparks are flying around, that's why I found them more then worth to mention now we can see it as an exception ...

Could be ... my impression is also that this track without singing is close to awesome 5/5, and also the visuals are close to 5/5. I knew Threshold in the past I think they evolved musically from prog into heavier sound, which is good, but singing tackles them a bit ... . I will give them another try in the coming days, thanks for pointing out this one

That is good, that is an awesome opening, and Astrix is something else!
Man, I should really listen to Astrix more often

I nearly missed this Astrix ... good to know, thanks

I worked my elephant off since I was 8 years old perfecting my craft. It took me awhile but I'm no longer afraid to say I'm good at it, maybe even great at it - at least sometimes. Or at least if I listen to people I work with.
When people talk about "what they do" I don't think most mean what I mean. I was born for it. And I trained from a young age. Even without the former, anyone who did the latter would be good at whatever they set out to do by adulthood.
I put my pants on one leg at a time. I'm an idiot in some areas of life, but I specialized. I'm not ashamed of that. I'm glad I did. I think with over 8 billion people out there we could do with a lot of specialists. There's plenty of division of labor to go around.
I love what I do. I've hated it at points past, and even tried to leave the dev field which I did for some years, but it's in my blood and I can't stay away.
And now that I make little machines, it's next leveling everything. So much fun.
I'm blessed, but at the same time I worked insanely hard for a very long time to get to this point.
I still get imposter syndrome, but I've let myself come to believe the above more than superficially.
It's about time, decades in.  It has just been over the past few years or so with this new spate of work (I wasn't working in the field prior to that, I actually got scouted *here*) that I've really looked at my entire body of work and decided I'm genuinely pleased with the things I make.
I recently had someone I'm working with tell me he's never been as far ahead on a software project as we are now. (I'm the primary on that)
But this is how I work. I frontload everything due to anxiety and then dramatically outperform everyone's estimates, including my own. I can back off, but then it impacts me emotionally having deadlines hanging out there, and I'd have to take a lot more money to make that worth it. Either that or I frontload the work, don't tell anyone, and then feel dishonest doling it out bit by bit. I don't care for that either. What I've found works well, despite the danger in it in terms of people's expectations. Besides, even if I'm "busy" I barely work part time as it is. I work 2 hours a day probably is my average on a standard project, and even I've found, on the project I was initially sweating. I just get a lot done, which is good, because I've otherwise got disabilities that get in the way of me working more than I do.
This field has saved me - allowed me to continue working when the wiring in the walls of my head is so screwy I can't even interview anymore. Software development might be the great equalizer. I have some serious mental health conditions, and If you knew my educational background it would probably surprise you. Yet here I am, not just able to function, but to excel at what I do. I am so grateful.
Anyway, maybe I'll start estimating better now that I see myself more clearly in terms of development, but I like being ahead of the game, and I prefer being underestimated to overestimated, even when I'm the one doing it.
I'm not saying any of this to brag. In fact I feel somewhat uncomfortable writing it, but I'm just being honest. 
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I think programming saved the day for me as well.
Once I got a taste, I knew this what I like and do best.
If I don't do it regularly I get withdrawal.
I am retired so I don't have to do it for money, but I still do it.
I was not nor am I as intense as you, though.
You say you know you are good at what you do. That's a good thing.
I know you know what you are doing, but that is not always enough.
You need a way to temper the intensity or it will break you.

At a young age i only thought of physics . One of my pet theories of which were several was if i looked through a strong enough telescope i would see my behind . One of the reasons i am not a physicist is i went to school for it . In order to make a point i once asked my parents while we were in motion in car "Are we going forwards or is the world going backwards?" "Zamkni buzię" was the reply . As for another theory if i followed Einstein's dictum "Imagination is more important than knowledge." I might have invented virtual particles . As for recent great thoughts i have a pet theory if correct makes it easy to deduce black holes evaporate and another pet theory if correct would have changed history as even Isaac Newton should have utilized it to deduce Special Relativity this one i can determine if correct via some simple calculations but i have yet to get around to it. i have no great thoughts re/ Software other than it should be pretty .
