Iraq
It is good to feel something deeply. It adds perspective to my life and reminds me of the important stuff. Two external yet personal Iraq events touched me. I found Bob Zangas’ Journey In Iraq blog over the new year break. It wasn’t a daily read but a good site to check occassionally. I’d seen…

Bexley warehouse
It’s the end of April and I haven’t posted aside from getting the blog functional. Nothing on Psychology of the Deal this month, I’m too tired to be philosophical or insightful. It’s been a busy month. On March 12 we opened a clearance warehouse in Bexley on a short term lease to clear excess inventory.…

Entries restored
I’ve restored the main entries for the blog. Interestingly the corruption appears to have been in the category related to the succession wars. Comments are not fully restored yet (and may never be). But at least we’re operational again. Please advise of anything strange

Compiere not for us
On Friday we decided to abandon our trial of the Compiere ERP/CRM solution. We concluded that a company of our size with our resources was not ready to impliment Compiere at its current development level. The stock control system was excellent. Our struggles were basically with GST and accounting. Compiere does not support GST inclusive…

Legal Update
The wheels of justice keep turning. The settlement deed the other side prepared just sucked. They told me it was totally not-negotiable so don’t bother getting legal advice just sign it. Yeah right.

Ultimate Holding Company
Corporate Law Economic Reform 7 a.k.a. CLERP 7 introduced changes to how Australian companies are managed and regulated from 1 July 2003. One interesting aspect is the requirment to report the Ultimate Holding Company of a Company. Does that mean that private companies whose shares are owned by corporate trustees (as trustee for a trust)…

Settlement Negotiations 4
Seems like they wanted me to sweat the weekend. Strangely I didn’t. I figured we were going to court, I’d tried to settle, agreeing to their demands and asking for time to pay. If they rejected it I’d see them in court and roll the dice. This morning they called with a counter offer requesting…

Settlement Negotiations 3
I got an email from The Wicked Stepmother last night seems like she hadn’t received anything back from me or the go-between. Turns out the go-between hadn’t been to his office for the last few days and hadn’t got my email. Oh well. So I replied to her email and spoke to the go-between. (Aside:…
