Recovering my sales tax
After several email exchanges, I've been refunded the $6.93 and $3.10 from ASI Order and VMWare, respectively for the sales tax they collected on my completely electronic downloads (the first for the marathon pictures I ordered and the second for a copy of VMWare Fusion). This is a small victory for me, but I feel that these companies need to get with the 20th century and look at the tax laws for electronic commerce. ASI Orders appears to still be charging sales tax on their website, so I suspect they refunded my money on the sales tax to get me to be quiet.

ReceiptWallet is listed in it and received a 4 mice review (that little blurb is the review). That's not too shabby for my little side project. I'm not sure why it wasn't a 5 mice review, but I'm pretty pleased. This definitely accounts for the nice sales increase this past week.

Yet another new store
I wasn't quite happy with my online store and was pleased to see a clean, open source store released. Andy Kim of Potion Factory released his store as open source. It's Ruby on Rails, so it was a learning experience for me to get it running again. I learned a great deal in the 2+ days that I spent getting it running, but it is so much cleaner than my old stores. Hopefully I don't have any problems with it as I just put the finishing touches on it this morning. It's at store.receiptwallet.com. Things I learned from installing this on my server:
