Been many a year since I've created a topic on this site, but you guys have traditionally been the most tech savvy I know.

Basically, I'm attempting to make a timeline that follows the same format as the ones Wikipedia uses for band members like this one for AC/DC:

I'm looking for one that will allow me to show individual bars that are able to start and stop along the same line (like Phil Rudd and Chris Slade in the one above). If anyone knows how to make one like this, preferably in Excel, it would be a great help.

I don't remember being a mod in 2008, but I do approve of chartreuse.

I've gotta take off for a bit, but maybe this will help?

Surprised you like it because according to another chart mods are gay.

Ultrafunkula is so carefree that he's off the chart. I'm more reserved, of course.

do you have access to Microsoft Project? If not you can use something like smartsheet to create a Gantt chart

MacB, I'm pretty straight. Have had homoerotic thoughts before, but never the want or urge to act on them. That doesn't make me bi-curious.

Why would you even admit to that?

what's wrong with admitting that? I think most males have homoerotic thoughts as they go through adolescence. Homoerotic thoughts aren't the same as "I kind of want to be buttfucked right now".

Nope. This is entirely on you you weirdo.

You're entirely too defensive about it, and I think there is a bit too much nervous scribbling at the top of that red bar. Just … let it go, brah.

Do they even make project anymore? I'm one of two people in my office that actually knows how to use the software

i wouldn't class myself as bi-curious but it's strange that you find KJ's admission 'weird' when you fancy your cousin, run an asian obsession sub-reddit dedicated to an inter-racial porn star, and regularly fantasise over women in cosplay outfits.

the fuck mac?

I think PowerPoint has a built-in timeline wizard. Plug your table in, make some tweaks, done in a minute or two, vs. messing around for a half-an-hour following instructions for a purely Excel version.

my point is that sexual proclivities come in about 101 different flavours and it's pretty stupid to ostracise someone for being bicurious when you beat off over imaginary cartoon characters.

they don't. I just looked and there are some online templates available, but they don't do what Eagle wants.

this should be enough and it looks very simple to use.

At least the elves I look at out aren't my own gender.
