Boy I’m glad tax season is behind us. Well, not exactly behind since Swiss payments will be nicely scheduled throughout the course of the year, but a good chunck of administrativia is now done. We had to file seperate returns in the US, file a common return in the place where we spent our first few months back here, and file yet once more in the place where we now live. Oh, and that good ol’ supposed US refund ended up being… a balance due.
As I said, I’m glad this is now over…

April 21, 2002Ordering prints online
April 15, 2002If you happen to have digital images that you want to tuck in a regular photo album, then you should give Photocolor’s online services a try. I was rather sceptical when they required me to download a piece of software. It turned out this little application was as close to perfect as an application can get. It installed quickly and led me flawlessly through a short procedure at the end of which my picture files got uploaded to Photocolor’s server. A couple days later, prints were in my (snail)mailbox. Highly recommended, unless you print your digital shots at home. UPDATED 2002-04-21 @16:30 CET – It turns out Photocolor is a member of the Fotowire Foto L@abs worldwide network, which may very well provide a digital hook into your usual processing lab. You can actually download Fotowire’s own software, which allows a selection of the lab closest to you. So credit for writing the software goes to Fotowire, but credit for picking the right partner still go to Photocolor :-)
