Shoeboxed
April 23rd, 2010Freelancers!!! this is an amazing service to free you from the drudgery of the paper receipts…. One of the things I do to help my business run smoothly is to have my receipts scanned and organzied online. I’ve been using Shoeboxed for over a year now and I would highly recommend the Classic account for $19.95 a month. This allows you to stuff the prepaid envelope full of receipts, up to 150, plus 500 catchup scans with the annual plan. Then just drop it in the nearest mail box and let Shoeboxed do the rest.
Here is a short time lapse of how I organize my receipts every month. Then I can just view them online if I ever need to reference them. I probably don’t use Shoeboxed to the fullest maybe you will.

Nitrox Tools Enriched Air Nitrox blending and planning tools in your hand and available at a touch. You can use these tools at your air station to provide the information you need to fill a Nitrox tank from any existing mix (or empty). Dive Planning tools provide your Equivalent Air Depth, PPO₂ at your planned depth, Maximum & Contingency Operating Depth at various oxygen partial pressures and the “best mix” for a planned depth and oxygen partial pressure.
Trimix Tools You can use these tools to plan your mixes prior to arriving at the dive shop or to fill your cylinder at the air station or on the boat. Calculations are provided for the best Trimix given a planned depth and a desired maximum partial pressure of oxygen and equivalent narcotic depth (END). You can also calculate the ceiling and maximum depths along with your END based on your planned mix. The dive planning tools support both salt water and fresh water calculations. The blending tools provide for filling a cylinder with a remaining mix (or empty) to a specified target mix using oxygen, helium and a topping mix (air or another available mix). You can also calculate the result of topping an existing partially filled cylinder with a specific topping mix (air or another available mix). There is also a Bleed Down calculator that allows you adjust an existing fully cylinder to a new mix with minimal wasted gas. Trimix Tools supports calculations in both metric and Imperial/US systems of measure.
