It's that "life" thing again. Well. Not really, in a way. I
originally postponed it because it was too soon after the Quassia
caps, and now I'm postponing it because I want to be able to take Visa
orders, and I have to find out how to do that, and I'm lazy, so I
don't, so. Like.

VISA? Perhaps http://www.ibill.com/ might be of help?

Looks ok, but they take 15%. Which is a money.
The nice thing about being a company is that it looks like I'll be
able to deduct the sales tax (23%) off of everything I send abroad,
which means that things'll be cheaper. Or I'll just buy heavier, more
expensive mugs.
I'll have to do t-shirts as well this year, though, to get above the
limit that allows me to deduct the tax.

Can we have sweatshirts as well please? I'm wishing I'd ordered more
than one Red Gnus sweatshirt last year.

Well, uhm. Stranger things have happened.
(What I've Been Doing The Past Weeks Part VI:
I'm working for a stock broker (!), and last week I dEpLoYeD the, uh,
"trading engine". (That's what other firms call that thing.) So I
had to spend a week at the stock exchange to see how things went.
(Ok.) Being a back seat stock broker is kinda fun (Buy! Buy! Ooops,
too late.) but really boring. I just can't seem to work up any
enthusiasm for, eh, (other people's) money. I tried to view the
experience as an anthropology expedition -- you know, study the
natives and all of that, but they really aren't all that interesting.
Some dull, dull, dull "English" jargon (mainly limited to the word
"yes") and... Sorry, I couldn't bring myself to pay attention to what
I was thinking, but I did notice something else about them that was
kinda interesting, but I forget.
Anyways.)

hmm... You could sell gnus 'stock' after the mugs... Maybe you
should just sell gnus 'STOCKings' instead, which would fall in line
with the underwear trend.
