For-real testing the new financial software

[hrj]

The theory is that I'm supposed to sit down and update the financial data a couple times a week, but in reality today is the first day I sat down to make routine use of the newly programmed FileMaker finance package, including reconciling the MC bill. In general, things worked the way they're supposed to. There's one macro routine that didn't call up quite the right set of records. (Easily worked around on the fly, but needs to be fixed.) And the statement reconciliation doesn't go entirely smoothly unless you create records for any additional fees and whatnot before starting the reconciliation routine. But other than that, it does what I wanted it to, including the very useful system snapshots with running balances that point out what my cash flow for the month looks like. I am pleased with myself. In a very geekly sort of way. Now I need to get off my butt and do the taxes so I can get my refund.
