I worked with Bryan on his code for the Prescott Gun Club. We spent lots of time going over the flows and doing some clean-up. I started working on the Beaver Mountain quote and got pulled off to help with tech support and other conversations. Lots of help is needed withe the Adilas API. 30 miles.

	Shop 2958		General	10/21/2015	10/21/15 10:15-10:30 On the phone with Keith going over things. He really wants an automated notification system that deals with steps, phases, and statuses of an invoice. I know it is needed, I just can't get to it right now. Both sub phases and sub locations would be awesome to add. We need them for elements of time as well as for all the other main player groups. Lots of good notes on this subject from October 2014 (last year at this time). Good stuff. 10:30-5:00 Went into Logan. I spent the first hour getting Nick setup on a new code check project for Emerald Fields and their eCommerce stuff. We did some FTP stuff, some database stuff, and bridged some permissions. Nick worked on that while I worked with Bryan on some more clean-up on his Prescott Gun Club waiver and signature application. Bryan and I worked about 3 hours on his project together. I them did some work on some API socket connections and such, Chris Dunsey came over to the Shop and we had an hour long meeting. We talked about FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and how to secure some things up. We also did some catch-up and went over some fun memories and history of whats go on in the past two years. Chris was one of the original interns from back in October of 2013. Now Chris is a full blown lead developer and runs his own development projects. It is kind of fun to see how far these guys go and can go. That is fun to be part of that. Chris still does some small projects here and there for us. 30 miles. 10:30-11:00 Recording hours and trying to get caught up on stuff. Life is going at a super fast pace right now.

	Shop 2960		Virtual Post-It Note	10/22/2015	-Idea from Dave Forbis- We need a customer or client log in for our Adilas customers this would include custom code, special permissions, and other special tweaks per corporation. This could also include tech, notes, black boxes, and special mappings and settings.

	Shop 2959		General	10/22/2015	10/22/15 9:00-10:00 On the phone with Steve. We talked about plans, developers, and where we want to focus. We keep coming back to the train track and railroad analogy. We just want to focus on and own the tracks and train. We don't want to own the market, the hotel, the bank, the school, etc. We want to focus on the data, storage, and processing. All of the other services are up for grabs. Also, we want to make sure that we keep an open model for that allows for a Hybrid shop. Search other notes for some ideas on the Hybrid Shop and Hybrid developer models. 10:00-10:30 Writing out bills, checks, and invoices. 11:30-12:30 Tis is more for the record vs. actual time stuff...I went into town to have a meeting with Bryan and Garrett for lunch. I was anticipating a business meeting to talk about the shop or talk about issues or something. When I got there, we met a Pizza Pie Cafe, there was a bunch of the developers there and they had already payed for my plate. We had a fun lunch party instead of a lunch meeting. The people who were at the lunch party were: Garrett, Will, Dave, Russell, Bryan, Nick, Lincoln, and my self. That was really fun. 12:3-3:00 working with Calvin on his bar code project. We also went over a driver license scan and parse (split-up) feature. I then worked with Garrett on some sub inventory logic and how to virtually draw a line in the sand between tracking inventory on a parent item vs. tracking inventory on a sub inventory level. After that, I met with Jared and my dad about tracking scrap items and selling things online. I then worked with Jared to see some of his YouTube video cataloging that he is doing. We talked about direction and returning and reporting on progress. 3:00-4:00 Recording notes, helping developers, trying to get caught up. 4:00-4:15 Working with Russell on some graphic layouts. 4:15-5:30 Emails, tech support, and signing off on code for Adam and his Hypur project. 5:30-7:00 After hour meeting with Dave Forbis to work on some quotes. We had a good session and even talked about some future direction from with the shop. Dave has some been a great internal leader and an awesome sounding board for me. I really appreciate all of his help and efforts. We finished the quotes and started talking about leadership and service. Dave has a ton of knowledge in those areas. 30 miles. 10:15-11:00 Finished up on the quote for Beaver Mountain Ski School. They want an online class registration process and application for their ski and snowboard school. This will be time and service based on eCommerce with elements of time, customers, invoices, and special mapping between classes and part numbers (services). It will also use the flex grid to tie things together.

	Shop 2961		General	10/23/2015	10:30-4:00 Went into Logan to work. Spent most of the morning working with Bryan on his logic for Prescott Gun Club and signing and saving PDF's with signatures. We also went over logic for subs or additional waivers. Lots of page flow. I spent quite a bit of time with Russell going over a sales pitch back to Adilas. Russell and Chris Johnnie are looking to pitch ideas for helping Adilas with Sales and marketing stuff. Very interesting conversation. We talked about he railroad analogy, open real estate around the tracks, options to franchise ideas and concepts, stacking layers, barriers to entry into new markets, and planning for checks and balances. Part of the conversation was me pointing out good parts and pieces of Russell's pitch. I'm trying to help him succeed, even though he is virtually pitching me. I had a lot of fun and loved to see his vision and determination. Anyways, I really enjoyed the meeting and elements that are currently in the process of being planned. Very exciting. I also helped Daniel and Jake on their GPS project and wire job as well as Garrett with some custom reports. 30 miles.

We are talking about ownership of the shop, dividends, and future options for the shop. Basically, adilas has a need to get internal projects done to make a virtual bullet train (fast and smooth project). In order to get there, we need to build some of the internal pieces out (adilas engine).

It dealt with image sizes, code details and letter cases, splitting up the black box pieces, and some changes to the shop/page.cfm file and how to call and use it. Will has a good handle on things and we even talked about him pulling code from the server and comparing it to his code on his branch. When done, he will push up his new code to the data 3 server. We may need to get him FTP access to get that done. Good Meeting.
