Bold or stupid move?
I received a letter from Sprint the other day saying that they were going to "streamline" their billing format which is an excellent and much needed move, but it goes on to say that I'll get a new account number, I will have to create a new PIN and security question, and that if you make payments in the stores, you can't make payments during the 4 days they are transitioning the system. Sounds like great news, but if you have automatic payment (not via a credit card), you have to re-setup your automatic payment with a new account number which is an inconvenience. I pay by credit card, so it doesn't affect me. Now I'll have to remember a different account number (instead of my phone number) and will any of this really make life easier?

Eye candy feature added to ReceiptWallet!
In order to add some "bling" to ReceiptWallet, I used Apple's CovertFlow example code to create a CoverFlow like view in ReceiptWallet. At this point, I'm not sure how useful it is, but it sure looks cool!

Relented on beta warnings
Well, my attempt to keep people from shooting themselves in the foot when upgrading to the beta version of ReceiptWallet has back fired. I've had few people download it (partly because of mistakes I made) and others have had problems reading the text. So, I've relented and now allow automatic updates. However, the first time a new beta version is run, the user is presented with a warning that hopefully makes things clear.

Time Machine saved me again!
I'm quite religious about my backups, but luckily haven't had to use them except for a whole hard drive failure several years back. However, today, QuickBooks 2007 for the Mac ate my data file and required me to use Time Machine again. I lost 1 invoice and 1 payment which I just entered, so restoring wasn't bad. This is twice in 1 week that I've had to use Time Machine. I'm glad it is there, but am a bit nervous that I've had such bad luck this week.
