I am the Accountancy King

[ciphergoth]

After years of incomprehensibility, a bit more scripting and the Mir accounts (which are stored as a Python script) suddenly start to sit up and beg, in a big way.

Now I can generate a huge pile of web pages from them, which show money moving in various directions, with a running total, like a bank statement.

I can finally justify the cheques I've been asking my flatmates to write...

Update: yes, I know how sad this makes me. If you had any idea how many incredibly painful and fraught hours me and purplerabbits had gone through trying to sort the accounts out, you'd be happy for me...

Thanks for the thought, but I suspected (correctly) that my version of Quicken does much the same job. Still, my having a knee-jerk reaction that Python-based accountancy scripts were cool and useful definitely says something about either me or my work...
