Self, Inc

with 5 comments

In July this year, Mike Sey­fang, (cur­rently bat­tling short-sighted politi­cians in South Aus­tralia in a medium they don’t under­stand); wel­comed me to “Self, Inc”.

Today I cre­ated my first invoice using SQL-Ledger. After some quick learn­ing of LaTeX; and re-learning of basic account­ing rules — it’s all go!

On the SQL-Ledger side: it is an Open-source ERP that has an Aus­tralian chart-of-accounts (ready for GST and BAS). Writ­ten in Perl, which is a little step back­wards; the data is stored in Post­gres. This bodes well for integ­ra­tion with a future install­a­tion of a small CRM.

So, no longer with Adobe and out on my own. The free­dom to do what I want is both scary and exciting.

Com­ing soon: com­pany web site and phone numbers.
