On Wednesday evening presented a two-hour lecture and tutorial for the CPA Young Professionals at Victoria University on GnuCash, the free and open-source accounting program. They're a good crowd, and were quite impressed with the functions available in GnuCash; I have little knowledge of commercial products of this sort, so their feedback was very welcome. In particular they liked the multicurrency and the optional automatic updates on currency values and stock prices. It was suggested that this was bridging the gap between accounting and financial services software.
The prior night I had been to see "Yes", who have been performing since 1968. In this case the concert was their early classic albums Close to the Edge and Fragile played in full. My review went up on The Dwarf a couple of days later and was followed by a compilation of Yes Trivia that I put together for Rocknerd. In other social activities, Thursday night was our regular Masks of Nyarlathotep game where the mainly European characters ventured in the inscrutable and confusing world of 1920 Shanghai.
This afternoon picked up the 10,000 DL cards for the Victorian Secular Lobby's state election campaign. In the last week we'll distribute these and have a bit of a social media campaign. In general, the election is looking good for the Labor Party. The lead will narrow in the final week, the Napthine (and Baillieu) government has been so ineffectual and confused for so long even their most ardent supporters must know their time is up. In any case, mixing Federal and State issues, one expects that a large number of people just want to the opportunity to give Abbott one on the nose. Apropos there's an impressive Youtube advertisement which shows the human side to Labor leader Daniel Andrews, and earlier in the week I wrote a retrospective on the Whitlam government for The Isocracy Network; The Power and the Passion.
