Never thought this would be my biggest headache today.

Short version:  I spent all day yesterday doing test runs and logging data (for which the physical setup took the first part of the week).  Today I'm trying to sort the massive pile of log files into something that's convenient for analysis.  
Problem is, the software that was logging the realtime data is an old, unsupported POS with very strange filing procedures.  Essentially, for a test names "Test1", it dumps out a dozen+ files named Test1.xxx, where xxx can be, well, a LOT of different things.  And every additional test gets all its files dumped in that same directory.
And, just for grins&giggles, the data I need are always in the file that has no extension.

So, today I've been bashing (ahem) together a VBA script in Excel (sucks, but it's what I've got) that opens a user dialog, sucks up the file, and rearranges the data into nice columnar format for further processing.  But I'd like to have the file-select box filter out all the files that have extensions, so that when the user selects the directory where all the files from all of the tests got dumped, the user will only see the files that have no extension.
And this is where I'm stuck.  Googling around I've found how to have the box filter for any extension I like, except the no-extension-at-all condition.  I just can't seem to find the correct magic combination of search terms to lead me to what I need.

Anybody know how to do this?

Valve released a game called Alien Swarm a few days ago. It's a Source Engine game that's completely free. Top-down, isometric co-op shooter game. You play as a bunch of marines on some colony world fighting against, well, an Alien Swarm. It feels a lot like Left 4 Dead (there's a lot of sound effects and interface elements shared between the two games). System requirements aren't horrendous and it's a heck of a lot of fun. If anyone would like to play a game, my SteamID is the same as my handle here.

So, I have all my computers set up to use OpenDNS. But when I started up my browser this evening, it's blocking various sites with messages like "Site blocked. www.sankakucomplex.com is not allowed on this network."

Looked around and found google's public DNS, which seems to be working just fine. But the question remains... what the hell is this?

dunno if this has shown up or not (and i have no desire to trawl the forum looking) but:

The Star Spangled Banner (US National Anthem) (it's fiction, so Hendrix on guitar and Joplin on vocals... if that's not enough to stir his gift, nothing is) - Doug's position (whatever defensive structure he's attempting to hold) is unassailable for the duration. All incoming projectile weapons will explode harmlessly overhead, all incoming energy attacks will tint the air red and a USA flag will appear on a flagpole right behind him in a dramatic fashion. He has to be on top of his "defensive structure" as everything above that dramatic flag is considered "sky"

yes, this can make attending pretty much any major event without his tuneplug a pain in the ass.
