It seems that Quicken users are losing some functionality. BoingBoing reports:

Quicken disables the you paid for to force paid upgrades
Norvy sez, “I bought Quicken 2002 when it was the current version. I received a letter in the mail this week telling me that Intuit will be disabling the bill pay feature for my version because it’s too old!

Me is pissed. It seems that they’re also retiring the QIF file format with another one, which means that if my bank converts, I’ll have to buy the latest version of the to remain compatible.

Awesome day for a few GeoCaches!

Filed Under In the life | Comments Off


After a week or so of -20 (C) temps here in the wild west of Northern , we are the recipients of a few +3 (C) days…and that means Caching!

Snagged three of them today, with our best buds the Time& team - yeah, they’re our neighbours too ;-)
On a Tech Note, I’ve been playing with flickr of late - and will have some snaps of today’s expedition posted there (linked here) shortly…if all goes well.

Here’s what we scored today:

A New Home

Filed Under Blogging, Uncategorized | Comments Off


Yep, Brat&Testy have a new home here on blogger.com. We’ve changed ISPs and that means that we’re losing the ability to host our own on our own servers - hence we’re using blogger/blogspot.

What this means - I’ll be slowly porting over the old blog , but the comments will be lost.
We’re not sure exactly when the cut-over will occur, so you can view the original blog at http://bratandtesty.homeip.net for a short time longer.
