Converting back and forth between minutes and seconds to get your splits is tedious, so I wrote a simple python program to do it. Maybe MS excel does it for you, but I wouldn't know, I haven't used any MS products in almost a decade. This will work on a Mac from the shell window (renamed to splits.txt to upload. rename it back to splits.py and make it executable with chmod to run it, but you knew that if you use a Mac, right?)
$ cat 500-20080413.txt | ./splits.py

ah, I can't get python format strings to work like I'm used to other languages behaving. change __str__ if you want seconds 't get python float format strings to behave.
if (self>60):
return '%d:%02d.%02d' % (self / 60, self % 60, 100 *((self % 60) - int(self % 60)))
else:
return '%02d.%02d' % (self % 60, 100 *((self % 60) - int(self % 60)))
We could probably automate this behavior in Javascript on a webpage, and I would be surprised if someone hasn't already done it. Maybe if I dig through my room, I could find it and write something....
This wouldn't be as big a deal if the cumulative/subtractive splits option was selected in Meet Manager, but it often isn't (either just cumulative or just subtractive is selected). Granted, Meet Manager doesn't make it easy to figure out what you need to do!
