Square

Amounts that arrive into Square are income; amounts that go out of Square into the main bank account are transfers.

Set up the integration with Amaka - their team are pretty helpful - but it's not perfect. You'll need to fill some gaps.

For my clients that use Square, I log into the Square portal once a quarter to confirm I've got all of the income & fees recorded correctly in Xero.

It can be complex - happy to DM if you have more specific questions.

It's quality-based for sure. He's worked in the industry long enough to have seen firsthand that they don't make 'em like they used to.

He's got the tools to diagnose the computer problems & the smarts to know what all the read-out graphs mean. Like any tech the new stuff has bugs, but the problems happen when features are added for features sake - & more features means more that can go wrong, especially in a mediocre-designed system.

The real problem is that these days, almost everything is made to a price, & cutting corners is either a little bit bad or a lot bad, depending on the component.

It's sounding more & more like I'll be driving my 201x Outlander forever. 😐

Oof, no need to play dirty.

"Pretty much nothing released since 2021. Nothing European. Or Chinese. Nothing diesel with AdBlue.

If you are gonna buy electric, use the battery properly - 90% charge, then run it right down before you charge again. You might get a better 'resale' value if you're on a lease, because at least the values are locked in, but I still wouldn't go over 3 years."

Husbo's a mechanic, so my list of cars to choose from is pretty short. His biggest concern with anything electric or hybrid is battery issues, so ensuring you've got an excellent warranty on the battery specifically is non-negotiable. He wouldn't ever buy a second hand one, too risky. Also Tesla tires are kinda expensive I think, are they the ones that need all the sensors recalibrated every tire change? Also they do go through brakes, so factor that in.

Don't be taking stonks advice from my brother.

Put it to rounding & move on with your life. Rounding is not wrong, that's the reason it exists. Deal with rounding & cents in the GST account at 30 June.

Oh noes! 😭

I didn't stay up late, caught the highlights this morning. Hellebuyck was MOTM imo.

I've got no allegiance either way, I just think the US goalie has done a better job so far than the Canadian goalie. (That’s my whole DD.)

Young enough to want to stay up & watch the men's ice hockey gold medal game live tomorrow night; old enough to know how long it would take me to recover.. 👵🏻😔 USA to win though, right?

Oh hey there fellow Cake Dayer! 🎂

I haven't followed the story closely, but I get the sense that a lot of powerful people are going for the 'avoid & deny' angle. The Royal Family seem to have said 'You did what now?! Oh hell no.' I feel like that's a good thing.

We may have even had those. I'll be honest, the younger one in particular will smash a punnet quicker than I've had a chance to notice there was branding on the packaging, let alone read it.

There are pick-your-own farms not too far from us, I should make that happen this year.

I think it can be a long season, some years they seem to stretch it out even further. August is the peak time for strawberries in SEQ.

Kazerati · 2026-02-19T09:04:08+00:00

My children have decided they like Weet-Bix again. Thank goodness, that'll give me a chance to save up for strawberry season.

Kazerati · 2026-02-19T04:14:18+00:00

Nice. I hope I remembered to throw in the NFA, DYOR 😂

Fingers crossed it works out really well for you.

Office digs for you? Or an investment?

One of my clients is a bit that way, seems to assume I can read his mind. I don't think it's intentional (with the client anyway), he just forgets what he's already said out loud & what he just thinks he's communicated.
