Fuck MS-Money…I’m Moving Over to Quicken

For a very very very long time, I’ve kinda just let my checkbook balancing go all to hell, so I guess it is time I re-assert some financial control. It’s not that I haven’t been keeping tabs, because I generally am right within a few hundred dollars.

However, the problem I have is that MS-Money isn’t connecting to the financial institutions over my network connection all of the time. And there are some transactions I just can’t perform in MS-Money that I can now do in Quicken (like keep track of my 401(k) because Quicken and my plan company have creted the online link).

So fuck it…I’m moving over to Quicken. Which is sad too, because I’ve used Microsoft Money ever since it came out in 1994. I’m tired of being Tina Turner and Microsoft being Ike.

Fix your fucking software, bizatches!

Website Down

Technical upgrades to my website mean that it is down for the moment. While the technical updates are being made, it’s just time for a brand new website.

I wanna sleep, but I have a ton of laundry to get done still…the progress is slow because the electrical safety switch keeps on shutting off the dryer. but hey, at least it dries.

Had Swedish class again tonight. After not being in class for 2 weeks, it is clear that I have to go to every class from now on and that I need to speak Swedish more frequently than I am doing now.

Oh yeah, and the Matrix is out in theatres now…I can’t wait to see it! 🙂

Whrrrr…..Whrrrrr

That is the beautiful sound of my washing machine, now repaired and functioning normally.

The positive: clean cothes
The negative: i’m planning on doing laundry until 4am

The other positive: i still have those new sheets. I never opened them because i slept on the couch last night — all 2 hours of sleep since I worked until 4am to get some progress made on my projects in the office.

Other positive: I am scheduled to begin working on the project I want to work on, in addition to the other project which is currently moving slowly. Now I will be very busy and under pressure. Just the way I like work. To party hard, I have to work hard.
