New Project: Value Added Tax Converter
Now it’s about time for some real content. Presenting the first publicly visible project, the VAT Converter! Inspired by the need to convert prices from the old 17.5% VAT standard over here in the UK to the new 15%, I wrote a little script to do this for you. I will at some point release the [...]
New Code Plugins

Why on earth would someone be that stupid? I mean come on, if I had [...]
