[ale] software for service industry

Ugh! My father did everything by hand, too. But that means he didn't
do _anything_. So I'm paying the price for that one.

I use Gnucash[1] to keep track of the accounting. I don't have to
issue any receipts or anything, so I don't know if it can do that, or
what package to suggest. The big thing about Gnucash is that you have
to have a least a basic understanding of accounting. If you don't,
things like transaction splits will be very confusing. But it is a
wonderful accounting package.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
