Google Calendar

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Google’s customizable, on-line, multi-layer calendar comes in handy for keeping track of incoming and outgoing orders.

I may make portions of my calender accessible to customers to view receipt and ship status of their orders.  This would save me time over the current way I notify customers.

QuickBooks Pro 2009
I use QuickBooks Pro for the business accounting but it’s not useful for marking incoming and outgoing shipments.

Would love to get some input from other Google Calendar users about their uses for it.

Scan orders

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Over the last 22 days, 21 orders have been received here.  I’m continually amazed at the growing demand for slides to digital conversion services.

A Testimonial:

One customer had the same 30 slides scanned at about 10 different local scan service providers, including mine.  He told me the quality of the scans I did was better, by far, than any of the others.  He told me this after dropping of 440 slides for 2710PPI.  That batch is just a small portion of the work he wants done.  He left a portable hard drive to put his scans on.  He wants both edits and no edits versions.

Of his 440 scans, there are 22 which I’m not billing him for.  Those at “no charge” are difficult scans from high contrast slides or slides that were out-of-focus.
