free accounting software that rocks

I found myself on the hunt recently for some accounting software that can handle quotes, invoices, expenses… that kinda thing. The problem with most of these products is that they’re either completely overkill or else pretty expensive. If you just want to organise stuff (business or personal) in a more sophisticated fashion than dumping it all in to files and folders or one big excel sheet, you’re kinda stuck… you don’t want to be paying €100+/year, yet you realise the value dedicated accounting software could bring… the solution?

I’m self-taught in php & jQuery although i’m more of a ‘hacker’ than a developer. Html / css is where I’ve least trouble. Why?

where have my creative commons photos been used?

The majority of photos I upload online are uploaded to my Flickr account. I now have over 8,500 photos there and all of them have a commercial creative commons licence, meaning they can be used by pretty much anyone. Technically under that licence attribution is required but i really don’t care about attribution, i find it fascinating seeing how and where people use my images but of course it’s nice to get credit for them too…
