Send me his details, I have some lucrative business deals to send his way

Rather go for a cruise than stand in line

Yep - was considering going for a drive got get the absentee line bonus

I stole the pencil from each of the 5 places I voted at today

Will see you there Points lost for not riding there though

At least you didn't go yesterday Had one of the candidates at the polling booth today telling everyone that if they voted her in the first thing she would be doing would be adding a new mental health department to the hospital. I worry for my electorate

Just did my bit for the country and voted. The rest is up to you guys.

As it was left last night (mate came over to watch footy and F1's) so got distracted Windows, drivers and updates installed Still need to connect the storage hdd's, tidy up cabling and start optimising, checking temp and stability.

Wasn't being tailgated that gave me the sh*ts - if he'd stayed the closest he got to me the whole way then it wouldn't have even been noticed. It was the 100m behind, up the arse, 100m behind etc and the slowing right down when we got to a place he could easily have overtaken that pissed me off.

Depends if you're just rolling over to greet her on the sunday morning or not

Was wondering what made you special that you got to vote today. Maybe you mentioned it to her and she was thinking you must be infirm or disabled or something and thus cancelled tonight

From MSY M.2 SSD just turned up (5:15pm Friday night) - so now it's time to crack a can and get out the screwdriver (and the vacuum )

40" 4k monitor

XMAS in July - santa just turned up. Just waiting on one of his elves now to drop off one of the SSD's and we're playing tonight

In the boot probably (they have a decent size boot on them)

Went to external hard drives

We're all rooting for you Stripes

Tape backup drives - 1 thing I definitely don't miss Cost more than the computer itself - and needed a 2nd one at home for redundancy/restoring/confirming Damn they were painful -

Strike that - looks like I'll be getting enough delivered today to allow me to build over the weekend - getting excited Might just be one SSD that's not going to be here - easy enough to work around to get it up and running (also splurged on another item - want to wait til it's all setup before I post on it though)

It's really not Why do you think I'm on the forum all day

Never has a truer word been spoken

Best to get proper advice to start with when setting up the structures - involves more than just the tax issues mentioned. Corporate protection, income distribution, asset protection, as well etc. Setting up the correct structure of companies, trusts, super etc at the beginning can remove a lot of doubt and jeopardy. Term for the business is "Shelf Company Provider" Years ago it'd take up to a month to get a company registered, so we'd register a heap and keep them on the "Shelf" to transfer over to clients when required. eg - if you were going to buy a property on the weekend and needed it to be under a corporate structure you'd pick up one of our Shelf Companies Friday arvo and be ready to sign contracts. These days I can get a company registered almost immediately so there's not as much call of pre-registered companies although I do keep a supply on hand for clients who need something backdated. Most of the clients are accountants - for them to be doing it themselves it'd be taking them away from their core business (spending time doing stuff that isn't billable or part of their field), have to put on another staff member to focus on the area and require them to keep up to date with any changes or developments that is at a total tangent to their main work. Some will order 1 every 8 months - not worth it for them to gear up to be able to do it themselves. Others will order 10 a week - short of hiring an extra staff member and ensuring they are current on everything it's not worth them doing it themselves. Also makes it easier for them to pass the costs onto the client if they have an invoice from us with a properly presented folder.

Government disbursement for registering a company is <$500 To fulfill all ASIC and corporate compliance etc you also need to have registers, minutes consents, share applications, constitution and other items as well. Most who do it themselves fill out the government application, pay the fee and ignore the rest. What I do is the registration and provide everything else that's required - all the proper documentation etc Basically give the clients a product that is legit, rather than something that can come back to bite them later Sort of like the difference between a generic tune and a dyno tune

Lol Matty - I do I set up companies, trusts, super funds etc - basically if the date the company is registered is prior to 1st of July then the accountant can use this years figures to make the tax for the year better (and other reasons, but that's the simplest one I can think of) I get lots of people who've been slack all year realising that they need a company registered before tonight hits midnight. It's not as big a deal as it was before the GST came in as people look at their tax positions throughout the year now, but there's still a huge influx before June ticks over

I like the lines of them too much (have a silver and a black one) Might end up turning them both into Steam client boxes or RDP terminals Just did a quick check - have still got a couple of old server towers lying around which have "heaps of room for activities" Maybe it'll just be a PSU and a couple of case fans I need to worry about (you don't want to see the dust and cobwebs in those ones) Looks like the remainder of the gear isn't going to be here til Monday so will have a heap of time to think about it.
