In my line of business .. these are the two most important things that I have to worry about (besides actually doing the work, that is) …

* Keeping track of my time for billing purposes
* Keeping track of the work and tasks that I have to complete

I’m pretty good with keeping track of my time … (see how I do it here) .. but I’ve been struggling with keeping track of the work coming in. You see .. last March 2006 my ToDo95 Software crashed .. I had been using that software since for almost a decade and it locked up on me. The company has a newer updated version of ToDo95, but it wasn’t a perfect fit and although I was used to working around the features .. I just couldn’t place my finger on it - but I wanted more.

Heck It’s Friday. A little Background History …

I’ve been a MSN Messenger snob for years, since switching from ICQ. I used to really like ICQ too!

You see, I was one of the first thousand ICQ’ers out there and had a 6 digit ICQ number, with the first three numbers were 100xxx. But, my great low ICQ number got compromised back in 2001 and I was in a great imaginery conflict in getting my account back, until I was finally successful. The only thing was, I had moved servers and couldn’t reply with the original hbs@gatewest.net email I had since March 1995. I just decided to get a new ICQ number, but by that time they were issuing ones in millions or tens of millions or something disgustingly popular like that. What are they issuing now? (not that I care)

Anyway - I’ve tried Yahoo Chat and at one time had chat friends on both Yahoo and Netscape (AOL) chat .. I was using the software Trillian which with only one software, I was able to talk to everybody in all three chat platforms - in one platform. After I lost touch with the odd Yahoo and Netscape friends, or converted them all to MSN Messenger, I just started to use MSN Messenger full time.

Hey Other Adsense Users!

Found a nifty little software utility today … (from catching up on my unread Blogline feeds and a heads up from Dominic Foster’s Accidental Entrepreneur blog).

It’s called: AdSenseLOG – from Metalgrass Software.

I have been using Eudora 5.1 (free version) for the longest time. The copyright is 1991-2002 years. Before that, I was using Eudora 3.1 (free version) for the longest time before that!

This week, I upgraded to Eudora 7.1 (Free Version) … it’s slightly better than version 5.1 but, nothing new that makes me have to read any “README” files! I did have a paid “Spamnix” add-on to version 5.1 and now it’s been automatically converted to “JUNK” folder, instead of Spamnix Folder. I don’t mind!

BEFORE: I used to transfer my spam and junk and stuff that my Spamnix and filters did NOT catch to my TRASH .. periodically, when I empty my Spamnix and transfer everything into my trash, I used to just run the Spamnix LEARN feature .. I tell the software that everything in my TRASH is TRASH and it helps catch most future TRASH!

I try not to recommend accounting software to clients, as most of my clients either have their own software already purchased (or obtained) .. or I will be entering the raw data myself. The reasons are:

* If they have the software, there’s no real reason to spend more money on new software - especially if the bookkeeper is familiar with the software - generally, they all do the same thing
* If I will be entering the raw data myself .. what difference is it to my clients what I use? Right .. there is no difference

What Accounting Software Do You Use?

(feel free to add your Specific Version that you use)

I thought I would see what types of accounting systems you are using out there in the real world. I have suggested a dozen choices, if you do not know the specific version .. but I would be interested if you could click on the “Add An Answer” and let me know exactly what software and version you are using.

Thanks!
