I'm not sure I follow you.
I enter my debit card receipts every night (and then my budget spreadsheet since the Intuit budget feature is worthless...).
Weekly, or at least every payday, I download the QIF file from my bank (and fix it with my perl script); I then import it. Each record is either a) matched to any entry, or b) flagged new by Quicken.
I then scroll down the list and verify that the matched entries are the same (sometimes flipping back to the browser to see the name). Accept, Accept, UnMatch, Manual... and then I'm done. I've just reconciled my checkbook. If I had a double charge, I would (and have) see it.
What's wrong with that picture?
I once saw a marrionette. I picked it up and commenced to blow until I was out of breath then came the dawn, I yelled "Doh! I was thinking of a clarinet!"
The little feller wasn't too happy He stomped his little wooden shoe He made a remark, it was very snappy A big wooden fist at me he threw And a splintered lip I had from his slap.
My bank's wouldn't import right. They weren't using windows linefeeds.... they didn't set the cleared flags, either. What use is that? la lalala! Perl to the rescue. I did an export, examined the code, and wrote a little script to fix the downloaded file into what I needed (replace linefeeds, add the cleared flag). Here is my code; it might be good for starters. Not sure what the new version needs. ------------ print "I fix QIF files!\n\nEnter Filename: "; chomp($filein=<STDIN>); print "Working on $filein.\n"; open (FLN, "<$filein"); @raw=<FLN>; close FLN; open (FLO, ">Fixed_$filein"); foreach (@raw) { chomp $raw[$a]; print FLO "$raw[$a]\n"; $test=(substr $raw[$a], 0, 1); if ($test eq "D") {print FLO "C*\n"; } $a++; } close FLO; print "Finished!\nhit return and close window."; <STDIN>; -----
unless you're trying to record off of the local Fox station, but that's their fault).
HA! I read that and thought "sounds like someone from Anchorage!" Sure enough, you've got a GCI address.
KTBY is such a joke-- they do really well but don't spend any money of hardware. Even the shoestring local Christian station looks soo much better. Here in Houston (TX) Fox is outstanding, UPN is amazing, and NBC looks crappy/grainy though the studio is smart.
Not only that-- He buried them out of order almost as often! And let environmental factors (pollution, heat changes, etc) change carbon decay so that century old books appear to be millenial! I can hear Him chuckling.
D'oh! Now what?
I am glad He has a sense of humor (He created us all, after all)
oh, yeah, if you're on that side of the pond then things are totally different. I consider you lucky. Over here I have to deal with big lurking mammoths (that should go extinct) like Excursion, Suburban, and some hideous things from your side o' the water from Land Rover, BMW and Mercedes, not mention some Asian beasts. Horrible. They're everywhere. I'm surprised these Yippies and Yuppies don't just drive a dump-truck. Hmm. What do you call those over there? surely not dump-lorries?
gawd-- I'd love to have one of those turbo rotaries under my, um, hood/trunk/ass. (not to be confused with a turbo rotisserie which sounds tasty!). Some guy has done that-- took the b20(?) out of the Euno Cosmos and plugged it in the Delo. If I remember right it's for sale at eliseusa.com.
I do think the Delo handles well for it's age. It's a little heavy in back, but it's easy to deal with. A little stiff and bouncy on bad roads, but that's fixable too.
I've heard of Second Lieutenants... but Second Majors?
Additionally, I've heard of Major Octaves, Major Domos, Major General, and even a General Protection Fault (nepotism for he is related to the Colonel, I think)
Oh well, learn something gnu every day, I always say.
It never happened like that. He was aquitted on all charges.
And yup, AA was in there; and they may have screwed him too (cooked the books against him).
His story is very much like Tucker; JZD was going against the grain and they busted him up.
I don't doubt that many inventions have been lost (and company's lost) because it cut into someone's deep pocket books. I want to believe in Tilley... but....
JZD worked at Pontiac/GM for years before he quit his cushie VP job to do what he really wanted-- create a car that would be more ethical (respect employees [he tried very hard], respect environment [no rust, paint]). The sports car market seemed like a good start.
It was well designed (Italian designer Giugiorio [sp?]), well engineered (Lotus engineering), and well built thanks to wondeful work ethic of the Irish in Belfast.
I should know! I'm driving one-- and it's 21 years old. I treat her nice, she treats me nice!
I drive my beautiful 21 year old daily. She's got a few issue-- but she's 21 years old!
The first few hundreds cars had a couple of problems-- GEEZ-- they went from dream to production in a matter of years compared to Detroit and Japan's lifecycles of development. Have you looked at the amount of recalls on the average Detroit new model? Then compare that to the handful of recalls on the DMC12 before they got them ALL right before the end. My girl runs like a warrior princess-- heh heh!
Sexy and racy and advanced for her time. ooo la la.
the stainless is grained, though some people have polished them to mirrorlike finish, so the blinding is not that bad.
Things just look better in stainless. I didn't get a stainless fridge to match the car, though, because I couldn't stick my kids artwork up with magnets.:-)
I found much better and reputable support from Houston (see sig) and DMC in Garden Grove, CA, and from some guys back east (PJ Grady, DMC Joe). Google
'em you can find them.
dude-- the suspension was designed by Lotus. You remember Julia Roberts "it handles like it's on rails"? That's how a De Lorean handles. I know-- I drive one everyday.
They are not any heavier than any other car. Mine is 2700 lbs.
The speedo stops at 85 because the DOT wasn't going to allow imports with speedo's more than 85-- something along the lines of "if they can't see it, they won't do it"! bah! I've had mine over 115. I can pin the speedo before I shift into fourth. After that it's guesswork-- counting RPM's and gears to do the guesstimate on speed. I a had almost 4500 RPM's in fifth which would have been 120 or so...
Anyway... this has nothing to do with electrics. Just the car isn't all that heavy-- could be lighter! but it's not heavy.
I do 10 sets of 20 reps on a Sun 4500 Enterprise.
I'm saving up for an E10k. Woohoo! see my bulky arms and tremble, all yee flabby and skinny geeks!
Seriously... the key to keeping weight down is to listen to your body and only eat what you need, not what you want. I know how hard that is-- I want mocha all day long but I do resist except for my morning one and sometimes one additional.
For exercise, I walk. I park my further (but not so far that it can't be watched and monitored by passers-by) and walk the extra distance to the building. I also swim in the neighborhood pool a couple times a week with the kids, mow, and pull the car out of the garage and throw some wood through the saw.
It's not a great plan... I would like to lose a little poundage around the middle. But I can't stand gyms or exercise places. I need to take up walking/running and basketball again when it cools down.

I'm a contractor. stop bashing us. It's a good living.
Or..
In Soviet Russia, Space Programme cancels ISS!
ok, so it's lame and tired gag already. Nobody else posted this exact one, so I had to.

me. just now. I must be feeling punchy. I wonder if someone in the office will make a Starbucks run?
I once saw a marrionette.
I picked it up and commenced to blow
until I was out of breath
then came the dawn, I yelled "Doh!
I was thinking of a clarinet!"
The little feller wasn't too happy
He stomped his little wooden shoe
He made a remark, it was very snappy
A big wooden fist at me he threw
And a splintered lip I had from his slap.
I forgot to mention, that was QIF files. But, you can probably make it work as a Q** to QIF to import.
My bank's wouldn't import right. They weren't using windows linefeeds.... they didn't set the cleared flags, either. What use is that?
la lalala! Perl to the rescue.
I did an export, examined the code, and wrote a little script to fix the downloaded file into what I needed (replace linefeeds, add the cleared flag).
Here is my code; it might be good for starters. Not sure what the new version needs.
------------
print "I fix QIF files!\n\nEnter Filename: ";
chomp($filein=<STDIN>);
print "Working on $filein.\n";
open (FLN, "<$filein");
@raw=<FLN>;
close FLN;
open (FLO, ">Fixed_$filein");
foreach (@raw)
{
chomp $raw[$a];
print FLO "$raw[$a]\n";
$test=(substr $raw[$a], 0, 1);
if ($test eq "D")
{print FLO "C*\n"; }
$a++;
}
close FLO;
print "Finished!\nhit return and close window.";

Do you smoke? If so, do you take smoking breaks? Are those deducted from your work time? Or are you getting paid to smoke?
If you don't punch a clock and are five minutes late do you make up that five minutes or do you defraud your company?
It happens-- stop picking on NASA. They have employee problems just like Joe Schmoe Co. down the street.

I find myself thinking in unix commands some time. Like scanning movie listings-- "grep ^Stuart".
I can remember in busier perl times (for me) finding myself thinking how I could do something mundane in perl, but not actually doing it unawares.
