REAL World – Day Three

, May 12, 2007

Another early day. The hotel room is immensely comfortable but I can’t seem to sleep. So I get up at 6am or so. It’s the last day so I’ve got to pack up. With my mild OCD, I check the room three times to make sure that I haven’t left anything, but I’m still convinced [...]

REAL World – Day Two

The day started off early. Again. I headed down for a great breakfast provided by the hotel, sponsored by RS. The RB and life talk were in full gear again.

Moneydance : Accounting for Win, Mac, and … gasp! … Linux!!!

, May 4, 2007

http://Moneydance.com I haven’t even given it a try … yet. But I’ve been looking for something like this. I have been using the very aged “Checkbook Tracker” to track my business checkbook. It does my math for me, and that’s about it. I run most of my business on Linux machines, and I’ve been looking [...]
