Quickbooks Online Crashes Safari
I’ve been a QuickBooks user since I started my first company back in 1997. It’s been a love hate relationship mostly because I don’t enjoy working on the books. Recently though, QuickBooks has kicked things up a notch by drop kicking my browser when it prints more than one time.
When I switched to the Mac back in 2006 I wasn’t happy with the Mac version and so I continued to use the Windows version. In 2009-2010 I switched to Quickbooks Online because it looked like the product had become more stable and relable.
Why didn’t I get QuickBooks for Mac? Well, for starters it’s almost $200 and (from what I’ve heard) lacks many of the features found on it’s Windows counterparts. Of course QuickBooks Online charges me a monthly fee, so I suppose it’s all the same in the end.
I have looked for alternatives, trust me. I bought Cha-Ching, but they were acquired by Intuit. I signed up for Mint and they too were acquired by Intuit, but they’ve at least kept the service running. Even today, I did a search on AlternativeTo.net, but I just don’t see any viable alternatives.
There are some great invoicing products out there, like FreshBooks, but I need the full accounting package, not just invoicing.
Why am I so down on QuickBooks? Because of a new little gem that happens every time I need to print more than one item. I can consistently crash QuickBooks Online meaning that my browser completely shits the bed and crashes. What special magic does it require? Simply print more than once. Don’t use Safari you say? Well, the same thing happen in Firefox and Chrome as well. It’s a pain in the ass, but at least it’s consistent.
Here’s a video that will show you how the crash works happens.

I posted a question in the Intuit Community [link] and was surprised that I got a response. Unfortunately, the response was to call customer support. I’ll be sure to get right on that when I have an hour to waste.
In the meantime, if anyone has any other suggestions, I’m all ears.
Drool…
The images above are examples of the name tags that were used at the last Facebook Developer Conference. The design completely blows me away. All I can do is sit and drool looking at these incredible name tags.
If you want more, I suggest you check out the Fonts In Use article since they have better command of the English language than I do at the moment.

Why I Love Louis C.K
This is a segment of the last routine I saw by Louis C.K., I forget what the tour was called, but it’s a perfect example of just how damn funny this guy is.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Thanks to a re-tweet from @brittneyg, I came across this image of Ireland taken from space on a near cloudless day.
There’s plenty of interesting tidbits on the resulting landing page mostly related to weather. What I found most interesting was that the photo was taken 3 days before I landed in Ireland for vacation last year.
Anyway, happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
