Today

9:03pm JST Tuesday 30 September 2008 (day 14069)

Today was day two at our new location. I was pretty zoned into work, with headphones on from 10:50am arrival through 2pm or so. Then waited a bit for second lunch time (I ate noodles during my code zoomin' time).

Also set up a office cleansing calendar to get us working in a clean place from the start.

Code-wise, I'm doing pretty well on the billing project. Today and yesterday I got it to allow me to create a new company to bill, and a new contract (header and items), and it already knew how to take the contract and create an invoice.

The end-of-month part of the invoice (what else is there???) doesn't work quite perfectly; basically I need to focus some flow-charting brain cells on that again. In my head, it's not a trivial problem: how to handle them having paid or not paid (adding late fees), how to handle taxing items and how to let them over-pay and carry balances forward, *and* keep a history of the invoices intact...

I guess that's basically it, that the invoicing schedule is like a barrier of sorts, but the balance carries forward through that. I'm not going to re-hash *all* their items to figure out their current balance due, so I want to write their balance due into the invoice items. Maybe the best way to handle it will become more clear when I add the payment system. Now that my framework is a bit more built, I can sort out how to add payments (both gui-wise, and code-wise).

In other news, I've bounced a couple of emails with Tamara: she will join the vegan night on 16 October; I owe her 15000 yen from the Angelic Awakening seminar so will meet her briefly tomorrow; Lucifer is not an angelic name (according to Arteshar), and I'm glad about that!

I'll probably be meeting Tamara for lunch tomorrow, though haven't confirmed time/location.

Laura emailed me today to ask about the story I wrote for NaNoWriMo in November 2007. I've moved the relevant portions to a book in the Castle Wiki library. The library is up the Grand Staircase and then toward the west. or maybe east. Anyway, it's up there.

I have been meditating each morning and evening (essentially (twice a day yes, but sometimes late at night)) for the past three (3) days so far. Part of the impetus comes from my most recent ISIS session: ISIS #12.

And,

I've been testing Angelic soap recently; my friend Angel sent me a few lovely bars of soap that she made, and plans to sell through her new company, Angelic Alchemy. In exchange for the soap, I have been working on her website (ahem), which as one can see, does *not* currently include much. I was going to put a "coming soon" with her email address, but because of some strangeness with Google Apps, the accounts are not working properly ("You can't send mail yet.") even though the URL has been verified, etc. A woman named Angela has been helping people get their accounts sorted, and says they don't yet know what's causing the problem, and no, we can't fix it from our end(s).
