How's da Dough?: March 2011

Friday March 18th, 2011.

The Earthquake and following Tsunami disaster seems not to have affected the Japanese Yen. It is still holding strong. Today I saw the Euro rise above $1.41. I haven´t seen the Euro that high for a while. It's a good moment to buy in US Dollars now.

Monday, March 7th

No real excited things going on, but today the Euro went through the $1.40 mark. Interesting time to buy in US$ now.

Since I got my iPhone in March 2009, I was constantly checking the Currency app. I buy a lot of stuff around the world and I am always interested in the currency rates over time. I mostly pay in US$, £ and ¥, but sometimes I pay in CAN$ and AU$ too.

I started this blog on July 13th 2010, but I had already some screen shots saved on my iPhone. This explains why you find screenshots from back to October 2009.

I will try to update this blog from time to time, if there are any interesting changes. I don't know in what frequency. If there does not change much, it is not interesting to post daily. Maybe the Weekend is a good moment to post, because there is no exchanges are closed then. Maybe I will rapport my purchases and the calculated value in € in the future too.

I'm not sure I will allow comments. I made this blog in the first place for my own reference. On my 50 Gs weblog I already noticed that spammers love posting comments.
