Clear Books - banking and scans

Spent a few more minutes playing with Clear Books and made a major discovery: you can now add attachments.  The last time I looked at Cloud accounting systems (about a year ago) none supported this.  It now looks likely that this system could support paperless accounts in a good way.

I'm starting to get enthusiastic but will need a bit more testing before I drop my old Quick Books desktop version.

Clear Books - testing

I have signed up for a free 30 day trial of the web based accounting software Clear Books.  First indications are that it is quick and very easy to use.  I dived straight in and was able to create a sales invoice in a few minutes.  Customisation and creating of sales lines seemed easy.  Receipting too was fairly intuitive.  It was refreshing to see how well catching invoices as pdfs was built in - using with Evernote would be easy.

Definitely seems worthy of investing a bit more time to test the banking side.

Future of devices at work

BBC News - BYOD: Bring your own device could spell end for work PC

So what would I chose?  Probably a desktop with double or triple monitors for day to day.  This would be augmented with a tablet and small laptop for meetings, depending on whether I expected to be using the device for input or output.
