Minor Updates & Tweaks
Tiny updates! I finally had a chance to go through and make a few updates to Side Job this weekend and made some small yet useful modifications. Nothing ground breaking but there are probably a few additions you'll enjoy:
* Service Completed Date now shows up on the services list as well as on the link hover.
* New Invoice Due After Setting allows you to set a default number of days an invoice is due. So, for example, if your invoices are always due 30 days after you create the initial invoice, this setting will set that date automatically when the invoice is initially created. Of course, you can still edit this date if you need.
* Bigger Textareas for client comments, project service descriptions and project material descriptions make it easier to give more detailed information for each.
* Bar Graphs on Reports tab for Client report. Now it's even easier to tell who your most profitable client is based on a percent of the invoices you've received for the report year. The graphs themselves were created using the awesome CSS Bar Graphs developed by Apples to Oranges.
* X/HTML is now allowed in textareas. If you have files on a webserver, you can now link to those documents using the standard anchor tag. This is especially handy for project notes or service descriptions. Any mark-up you add, however, will be removed before you create an invoice regardless of type (rtf, txt, htm).
There are some more features I do plan on adding in the future; so, if you've requested something that wasn't added in this round of mini-updates don't despair, there are more things I have plans to add. If you have any comments or questions about the additions, please let me know.

* I'd need to set the price, then set the costs. The benefits should be the numeric operation of this two concepts. Now I only can put de costs, put the benefits and then set the price... well, the real economy works different most of times. And Ikea too.
* I have some contracts for maintenance, that generates an-every-month invoice. The contract is for six month, in example, and during that 6 months I have an invoice each month. The contract is 6 months X 100 $ (in example). But the 6 invoices are for 100$ each one (january, february,... June). Now I can't find the way to do this in your system. It only recognices a project with a duration of 6 monts and a 600$ value, and I need a Project, 600$ value, of 6 months of duration, and a 100$ invoice every month during 6 months. Then, the project is over.
Please, let me now if It's possible to add this features, because in my country the small business works in this way a lot of times... and I love your tool, but sometimes is frustating (or I don't find how) to do this two things...
Congratulations for this great tool...
