They do not offer a digital “Downton Abbey” calendar at all. I did not read their “free offer” statement thoroughly enough, that’s why I registered for an account at all. For me personally it did not really make sense to register for that account.
Donna Donna (דאַנאַ דאַנאַ “Dana Dana”, also known as דאָס קעלבל “Dos Kelbl” — The Calf) is a Yiddish theater song about a calf being led to slaughter. Some believe the song’s title is a variant on Adonai, a Jewish name for G’d, but native Yiddish speakers would agree that both religiously and linguistically, such an idea is unfounded and that this idea is a Christian reinterpretation of the song.
I am just playing Dany Bober’s “Dos Kälbl” recorded on his album “Zeitlos – Lieder des Judentums“. (“Dos Kälbl” is only another spelling of “Dos Kelbl” resp. transliteration from the Yiddish דאָס קעלבל to the Latin alphabet, in the 1st case more oriented to German spelling of the word calf resp. “little calf“, ie. Kälbchen resp. Kälblein in German.)
Installed it last night on all my DiskStations:
$ /bin/uname -a Linux DiskStation000 2.6.32.12 #5022 SMP Wed Jan 7 14:18:42 CST 2015 ppc GNU/Linux synology_qoriq_213+ Linux DiskStation001 2.6.32.12 #5022 Wed Jan 7 14:19:44 CST 2015 armv5tel GNU/Linux synology_88f6282_112+ Linux DiskStation002 3.2.40 #5022 Wed Jan 7 14:18:59 CST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux synology_armada370_ds115j
It was funny to discover, they ever reflect the “5022” as “kernel version” of uname‘s output. And BTW: uname built into their BusyBox even shows the Synology model name – I am tempted to use that in my shell scripts, if it comes to discriminating Synology (utility) features like seq‘s deficiency.
The SEPA Direct Debit (“SDD”) transactions comes with a creditor id and mandate reference. I search my transaction list (“statement”) for previous occurrences of them. Don’t your be surprised, but the Amazon conglomerate makes use of quite a couple of different creditor ids and also mandate references. I prefer to make “in place” notes to sort of acknowledge them in a way so that I know from now on, that this is a detail, I already came across before.
Why does Amazon not tell me, where I find the mandate references, that they use and show in the bank account transactions?
But apart from the SDD details Amazon transactions ALWAYS quote the Amazon order no. That is rather useful. The record holding the order also has a transaction no at the other end, and something I call the “internal Amazon trading partner” or simply “… payee” in between.
Whenever I purchase something “on” Amazon, I immediately store the involved vouchers in disk folders related to the involved bank account resp. as they are available. I create a PDF from the Amazon statement resp. the concerned transaction, that PDF has “amazon” in its filename right after the date+time string; the Amazon order goes next into the filename; I also make the state of the transaction a part of the filename, like “not yet sent” or “sent” or “…”; for every state of an Amazon transaction there is one voucher, that I keep (only the latest of these is really necessary). Whenever resp. as soon as there is an invoice available, I store that as well.
Once an Amazon transaction appears on my bank account statement, the involved vouchers get renamed to match the transaction number, and the transaction gets sufficient details added – including an accounting category resp. a draft plan number.
If PayPal debits any of my (bank) account or credit cards, the transaction shows a SEPA reference, as almost all bank transactions nowadays show a SEPA reference. Now have you ever wondered, what you can do with the SEPA reference?
There is no particular identifying property in your bank transaction, that you can relate to your PayPal transactions. I find that rather, rather poor on PayPal’ side. They should support you there. Nowadays you can only guess from the amounts in your home currency, and of course most of the time the transaction will quote a name that may sound familiar to you. But sometimes they quote yet another handling agent, that may mean nothing to you.
This is how I deal with new PayPal transactions.
Whenever I purchase something over the Internet through PayPal, I immediately store the involved vouchers in disk folders related to the involved bank account. I create a PDF from the PayPal statement resp. the concerned transaction, that PDF has “paypal” in its filename close to the extension “.pdf”.
If an e-mail message from PayPal related to a transaction shows up, I put a record on my diary. “procmail” creates log entries for all incoming messages, I got software to format that in a way that I like for my diary.
The supplier also (usually) sends me a confirmation message mentioning the debiting through PayPal. I put that record on my diary as well.
These two should be in close vicinity in my diary. Will theses records explain me enough details of the story? If not, I will add a few words.
Once a PayPal transaction appears on my bank account statement, the involved vouchers get renamed to match the transaction number, and the transaction gets sufficient details added – including an accounting category resp. a draft plan number.
The SEPA Direct Debit (“SDD”) transactions comes with a creditor id and mandate reference. I compare the used creditor id to the previous PayPal transaction’s creditor id. Your PayPal profile shows the SDD mandate reference for each account registered. They match the SDD mandate reference shown in the bank account transaction
Have I always been that smart and organised? Of course not. Smartness comes from real life experience, from suffering and mostly from lessons learned.
Do you think, I am overdoing? You do it differently? Amongst the things I do – is there anything unnecessary? Tell me!
I can’t promise, that these are truely safe websites.
According to the suse “download manager help” you can use “–output-document=file” as “–output-document FILENAME.xxx”, which suggests, that each file gets its own suffix. That is untrue. All files downloaded will only get concatenated into that single output document.
