coupon

I want to offer an early bird discount. Is there anyway I can do this using a coupon code?

This is very clever I think - it calculates the depreciation from the purchase date. But I made several hardware purchases so each needs to be re-entered manually under the assets dialogue. If you classify something as computer hardware, would it not make sense for FAC to offer the option of adding to assets?

Stubmatic event catering opt-in

Is there an option for food and drink catering? I guess this is normally either included or not included but it would be nice to have it as a modular option like the booking fee so people attending can choose if they want lunch included!

Yes I noticed that when I tried to set up a connection to an id-less host. My workaround was to rename the config file but wondered if I add an entry for the other host I can define it differently?

This is what I used which works for Transmit & Coda:
Edit your ~/.ssh/config file (or create one if you don’t already have it) and add an entry that looks like this (variable areas are marked like this:

Port 22
Hostname {host name or ip address}
IdentityFile {location of your private key file, for example ~/.ssh/id_rsa-gsg-keypair}
TCPKeepAlive yes
IdentitiesOnly yes

Krups milk frother makes more steam than milk

The xs 6000 has a switch from cuppuccino to latte, whatever the difference is, which regulates the size of the steam outlet. I'm guess the narrow gauge is used to create more steam, and the wider gauge will allow more milk to enter which is what most would expect if the milk tank is attached. However it seems impossible to get it to pump frothy milk instead of airy steam consistently.

5400c

All I want is a driver for my scanjet 5400c. All HP offer is to mail me a disk, and only from and to the USA. And it does not mention if this works for intel macs. And for some reason it offers a download for PC users, but not mac: https://warp2.external.hp.com/Driver/...

I have a suggestion! Is there any chance you can put some generic text to the left of these fields? Without preview it's hard to know what will appear, but now I see the output is in the format:
WT 019
02 Dec 08
01 Jan 09
£250.00
https://www.paypal.com/..

Whereas it would be nicer if it was in this format:
Invoice number: WT 01x
Invoice date: 02 Dec 08
Payment due: 01 Jan 09
Amount due: £250.00
Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-
Google cart:

Ok the last was perhaps a bit cheeky, but I hope you get the idea and others agree with my monolingual proposal.

Would it be a link like https://www.paypal.com/uk/cmd=_prq&id=WssFr9rBY3l6NMR-ViVTS3YhqrxDMJf1ZJDzaQ

In this case I'm not sure why I would need to have my paypal details in FAC (even though they are already) but there is clearly something I am not grasping in terms of simplicity - I generated the above link by sending myself a dummy request :(

Parcelforce hates firefox, cannot print an eps file.

When booking a parcel despatch, the site claims it does not work with Safari, so I use Firefox. At the end of the process it offers to print a label and firefox does not know what to do with an EPS file and neither do I so I have no label to put on my parcel.
