One of the things that I’ve always hoped they would do is introduce a personal book keeping system (a la MS Money) that has the same amazing functionality that the business product does.

Well Rod Drury (CEO) has recently announced this on the Xero blog.  (Followed closely by Orange Girl on their twitter feed).

To say I can’t wait for it to go live in early 2010 is an understatement – the functionality of what it will delivery in terms of us being able to truely see what is happening to our money (in a simple, graphical way) without needing to have create spreadsheets or the like.

If you’d like to see a (quick) video on the product here you go:

So while my ‘tweets’ are still going to show up on the blog, I’ve moved away from having them autotagged with anything. It was distorting the tag widgit to the right.

Enjoy the change people.

Something to think about

Not a hard decision, but thought a fresh start would be nice for a change.  I’ve also moved away from Lifestream for a while and back to the standard WordPress install that I’ve always used in the past – albeit with a new theme.

There are some funky new plugins that some friends have been using – which I’ve installed.  You’ll might see some of the effects in some of the tweets & posts that show up around the traps.

I’m still here – whatever.
