I think it reasonable to ask for referrals about software. When you look on line, a lot of the 'specialist' software reviews seem to be either out of date, or covering a very sparse offering, or sponsored. Not the mass market stuff, but the specialist stuff.
I have looked at stock control software reviews, and found the products that are reviewed either over complex, or just not suitable for small/SOHO/owner driver sized businesses.
There is also the more modern phenomenon of younger people who are APP literate, but not computer literate. The super geeks that used to snigger at older people's lack of computer literacy are mostly in their 30s or 40s now. I have had students who couldn't even use Windows competently, but are using all of the newer tech gear to the max.
Please, no.
Most business software is pretty generic. It all has a learning curve as well. You can run your business using an office suite of software (Microsoft Office, and equivalents, even Andriod and Ios).
Use spreadsheets for financials (accounts, billing, taxes), and even mailing lists. and for stock and order/inventory too.
You can use simple databases for customer info (database in some office suites) but you can also do this in spreadsheets.
Mailing, letter writing, labeling can be done with word processor software (like MS Word).
There are a lot of business specific packages, written by enthusiastic people with some software writing experience and a specific business need, these will cost you money, or pirated. From past experience, these packages, as they are not created by big software companies, are not supported by the vendor for very long. In 5 years time (not long at all) you could be stuck with obsolete software and a big job of transferring all of your data to a new system.
I am guessing that you already have office software, and so it won't cost you anything, apart from time learning how to use it more fully.
If it is not working, try to log out, then log in again.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
Beijing attempts to curtail "excessive" government spending
Posted byI bet the guy on the US 100 dollar bill is also spinning in his grave. But for different reasons.
Beijing attempts to curtail "excessive" government spending
Posted byAs for going after the lower level guys.
The fat cats were milking other fat cats.
It is all the little lower level guys that make life difficult for the guy on the street, and expensive for those on low incomes.
It would be nice to think of an egalitarian round up (tigers as well as flies), but most people are plagues by flies, and are unaffected by tigers.
Beijing attempts to curtail "excessive" government spending
Posted byThere are a lot of restaurants in our area. It used to be that there was congestion caused by cars parked at the side of the road. This was most nights of the week. Some places had exotic dishes and high prices.
Now the roads are clear except for festivals, and prices even a middle income family can afford.
You can draw your own conclussions.
Photos of flash flooding in Yunnan's capital
Posted byTalking of construction. One solution is to build a new town from the ground up the adequate infrastructure. This was done in Dali and oops, Chenggong. Shanghai has also built a number of satellite cities/towns.
The accumulated debris is a problem and not all of it is trash, a lot of it is leaves, twigs, and dust/dirt. Often this can not be effectively dealt with until it accumulate. You can have teams going around clearing culverts and grids, but not every bit of debri that could potentially reach the culvert.
This is a universal problem.
Photos of flash flooding in Yunnan's capital
Posted byThere is the same problem in Shanghai and Beijing, the drains are not up to coping with the heavy rains, even though they come yearly.
Urban planning is often about sprawl, without the effort to upgrade the old infrastructure. The norm is to jus connect the new drains to the old. The new drains may even have sufficient capacity, but there is a bottle neck as water reaches the old drains. Until there is the political will to dig up and replace the drains in the older parts of the city (costly and very disruptive to local residents, traffic, and business) we will continue to see occastional flooding. It used to the be same in many towns in the west.
