Where have all the good names gone

I have been using GnuCash for our personal finances and I actually developed a set of routines that made budgeting for our family work. This is a first for us. After 15 years of marriage we have a budget that actually helps us spend out money wisely. In the past we would track our spending, but after awhile we realized that we were spending a lot of time tracking, but it was not affecting what it was that we were doing with the money. Well our Dell finally died and it was time to get a new computer. I had been a macbigot back in the early days when I worked for Adobe Systems. But I later worked for Gateway and now I work for Bank of America and I just melted into the PC world. So I was an easy target for switching to a Mac. The plus side was that there was an Apple store in our local mall. So we bought a Mac and I have been really not wanting to regret it, but there is a better than average chance that when we are done with this computer we will go back to the World of Windows. One of the programs that I miss is GnuCash. GnuCash is supposed to be installable on the Mac, but after several days I gave up. So I have an old lap top that is just used to run GnuCash. But then I was thinking that it would be really nice to have all of the features of GnuCash that I want on a web page. That is the start of this project. I have some programming experience, but thinks are not done in Pascal any more. So I am going to have to figure out how to do this from scratch. The first thing I looked for was a cool name, iBudget, myBudget, they were both taken by search engine whores. I have the domain kurtclement.com and kurtclement.org reserved for no other reason than I didn't want some one else to have them. Now if I ever get this project off the ground I might use them.

And so it begins. . .
