[07:05] <dholbach> good morning
[07:06] <AlanBell> morning
[07:06] <AlanBell> 5cm of snow here
[09:13] <czajkowski> we got snow about 2cm mostly is gone now
[12:21] <czajkowski> AlanBell: nice mail the other day
[12:21] <czajkowski> been some nice topics on mailing list in the last week or so
[12:39] <AlanBell> yes, I was quite pleased it seemed to tickle a few people into responding
[12:40] <czajkowski> aye
[12:40] <czajkowski> :)
[13:31] <czajkowski> http://www.techworld.com.au/article/330244/amberdms_gives_open_source_accounting_green_light  ohhhhh
[13:31] <czajkowski> accounting folks
[13:33] <DJones> czajkowski: From that article "“A lot of people use whatever software their accountants tell them to use,” he said. “Getting involved with accounting companies is an important step to getting wider and more mainstream uptake of [open source] accounting products.” is very true, although a lot of the time its also down to the clients expectations and experience of staff
[13:36] <DJones> It'll be interesting to see how that goes, although if it needs the user to set up their own webserver to run the system on, that could put some off, certainly sounds like an interesting prospect in development though
[13:37] <czajkowski> aye
[13:37] <czajkowski> it's a thread going on ILUG for the last 10 days
[13:37] <czajkowski> gnucash has been mentioned a few times
[13:37] <czajkowski> that was the first new link
[13:37] <DJones> i've started looking at gnucash again, ilug is the Ireland Lug?
[13:38] <czajkowski> yes
[13:38] <czajkowski> sorry
[13:38] <DJones> no probs, i'll look that up
[13:38] <AlanBell> that looks interesting
[13:38] <AlanBell> credit notes and payroll are missing, which is the same as gnucash
[13:38] <AlanBell> but it should be more multi-user than gnucash
[13:42] <AlanBell> needs packaging
[18:44] <mhall119|work> czajkowski: ping
[18:44] <czajkowski> yup
[18:47] <mhall119|work> I'm not sure if Michelle has talked to you about it yet
[18:47] <mhall119|work> but we're going to be setting up a network for a troubled-boys home in late January
[18:48] <czajkowski> oh wow
[18:48] <mhall119|work> we may also be converting some of their Windows-based office computer to Ubuntu, maybe, because they're evidently having all kinds of virus/spyware trouble
[18:49] <mhall119|work> I'm going to ask the guy we're coordinating with if he'd be willing to fill out your interview form
[18:49] <czajkowski> oh that'd be great
[18:49] <czajkowski> I need to create one
[18:49] <czajkowski> or alter the one I've got to allow for a few questions
[18:49] <czajkowski> mhall119|work: does he use IRC ?
[18:49] <mhall119|work> no rush, we're scheduled to do it Jna 30th
[18:49] <czajkowski> or skype ?
[18:50] <czajkowski> great
[18:50] <mhall119|work> czajkowski: I don't know, I've not talked to him, and Michelle has only spoken to him on the phone, and just once
[18:50] <czajkowski> he can add me on skype if he likes than I cna have a real time interveivew
[18:50] <czajkowski> sounds great
[18:50] <mhall119|work> I will ask him though
[18:50] <czajkowski> you cna poke me in the new year if you like,
[18:50] <czajkowski> lauraczjakowski is skype id
[18:50]  * mhall119|work doesn't have skype
[18:50] <mhall119|work> I guess I should get on that bandwagon
