• Working on the adilas.biz community funded projects. Trying to get something up and online. Sprinting to get the projects posted online and the new ads created and pushed online. Somewhat of a pressure cooker. Created a new page and two new graphic ads to say that the community funded projects were released. One of the ads had a guy’s set of work boots that were randomly tied together and duct taped. This was our starting ad for the community projects. Kind of fun. (duct tape, string, old work boots) • Went into Bridgerland to work with my guys. It felt so good to get the first round of community funded projects at least up and online. • I showed a developer and my dad how to add and subtract from the community list of projects. • I spent quite a bit of time talking with other developers about eCommerce and overall site structure and models. • I also worked with a developer on two different subjects. He is working on a software bridge to work between adilas and a pin debit card reader. His other current project is dealing with GPS coordinates and mapping things out using Google maps. Making lots of progress. • This was our last day at Bridgerland for this round. We have spent the last 4 months there using Bridgerland as our make shift office and group meeting area. What a blessing. I am very grateful for all of the help that I have received. Awesome stuff! 30 miles. |

-I had this thought the other day, but what if we invited our users to participate in the development process through GoToMeeting? We could choose times and subjects and allow them to login and watch as we build and work on certain projects. They could chime in through the chat box and watch as we go through the planning, building, debugging, and full development and deployment process. The whole nine yards. -This process may be boring to some people, yet it could be fascinating for others to see. Think of how fun it is to watch doughnuts being made at Krispy Kreme or something like that. Granted, doughnuts taste way better, but the concept could be fun. |

If we get the plan and are able to present it, that will help all others know where we are headed. We may be able to coordinate work and efforts and allow more people to help work with the master plan as a guide. (Present the whole master plan… : ) | |

• A developer came over and we pushed some invoices and changes live. • Went into Logan to the new adilas developer’s office. A developer his wife had some fun drawings on the whiteboard wall – they made it fun. • We got an office tour and prepped for a phone call with a client. The phone call was pretty tough. The client was making demands and requests and I was trying to set bounds and times for what we are still going to do. It got a little bit rough. • After the call and after I calmed down a bit. I called him back and we chatted. Much better. • I talked to a developer about project management. • Worked with a developer on his software bridge. Trying to find a cookie cutter – type project that we could do over and over again. • Currently every project is custom and different. That takes a lot of time to explain and train my guys. Did some planning and worked with some developers. Super busy day. • Today was the first day at the new Logan office. 30 miles. • Emails and tech support. |

-On the affiliate programs and promotion codes, allow them to be tracked to the person level if needed. That is customers, vendors, and employee/users. Also allow for campaign tracking options. The important thing is tying a campaign or promotion code to a specific person or entity. It could also be internal or unassigned. -Setup all adilas guys with some access to elements of time in both adilas as well as adilas university. Get everybody assigned and help them use the tools. -Add categories and types to sub dates and times. If applicable, even show items sorted and separated by type and category. This could be all kinds of stuff. Expand and think of different options. -Go through the elements of time section and update a bunch of tables to get things prepped for round 2. This includes things like app-types, main id’s, sub id’s, table names, bigger category options, more settings, and more date and time options. -Add new subs of time – sub checklists, sub budgets, sub locations, sub phases, sub packaging, etc. -Beef up the sub assignments table – Be able to handle any connection to any other application player and/or sub player… Expand! |

• Prep, emails, and light clean-up. • Signing off on code for the adilas 3rd party solutions page. We added code and an ad for a developer’s appLab, Ltd. We also did code an ad for cash management and kiosks. Posted all files online. • Phone calls, emails, and follow-ups with reps and developers. • Went into Logan to the office. Worked with a developer on some small code tweaks for a client. We had a brainstorming session on the email and text message options that are going to be needed. We were up at the whiteboard wall (you can actually write on the wall and then erase it. Kind of fun.) We then had a great sales call with a company out of North Carolina that sells sheds (garden and tool sheds). • A consultant here set up the demo. We had a good talk and then ended up giving him a demo and showing him around for about an hour and a half. We used recipes, buttons, customers, photos, scans, media/content (files), and custom documents. Fun demo. • My next meeting was with a web developer about other possible options for point of sales systems. He also has a ton of experience with ERP’s (enterprise resource planning) and bulk manufacturing and production. He is also very good at sales and SEO (search engine optimization). Lots of things to talk about. • After that meeting, I met with our project manager about setting up a sales team as well as other projects. • The last thing I did today was help a developer and the guys with their icon menus. A team of 4 guys are pushing on icon menus with this developer as their leader. He is doing awesome. Fun stuff. 30 miles. |

• Went in to Logan to work at the office. Worked with a developer on adding the Green Bridge as a merchant processing gateway option. • We spent a couple of hours going over flow and direction of how the cart checkout process works. • I worked with a developer on project management stuff and billing. He, Steve, a consultant from Colorado, and myself were on a conference call going over database flow on sub inventory and cost control (packaging) stuff. We spent over an hour and a half working on a spreadsheet to nail down the anticipated flow and relationships. Great session. • We introduced a new self-referencing id number to help show subs of subs. • I then spent about an hour working with some developers on concepts of 3D world building, burning platforms, re-building models, and running things (data & values) through time and space. Kind of out there a bit but a fun conversation. As a side note, sometimes it takes a problem or breaking something in order to stimulate change. It also sometimes takes weeks, months, and years to understand and apply certain concepts. Line upon line, precept upon precept. Slow and steady wins the race. 30 miles. |

• Recording notes from loose pages. Worked on some new graphic concepts for the adilas GPS core layout graphic. • Added some custom options and verbage as well as some new “app modes” to switch between interfaces. This helps us use the same graphic layout but for different purposes. • On the phone with a trailer company going over bank stuff. • Went in to Logan to work at the office. I gave all of the guys a copy of the adilas GPS core layout graphic to help them know where we are headed. • I helped the guys with placement and organization questions on the icon menus. We have 3-4 guys pushing on that project. • I went through my email inbox and sent 10 logos over to one of the guys to help me get the prepped, ready, and posted online. • He cranked them out and sent them back to me. • A developer and I worked on the email project to wire up email options for clients. This will be an API socket method that we can call at any time. We anticipate that the email communications will be triggered by specific events scattered around the site as well as scheduled tasks and notifications. • I worked with a developer on sub GPS pieces for over an hour. The code is looking very good. This is in preparation for future GPS projects and logistics. • On the phone with a developer getting an update on the Green Bridge software bridge. Good progress there as well. • Chatted with developers about eCommerce shipping and general plans. • As a fun note… we all went outside today and played 4 on 4 ultimate Frisbee, in the field across from our new office. That was really fun. Good stuff. 30 miles. |

-For example, say the adilas GPS core model, but use the model for showing data, usage, flow, training, permissions, settings, and even tech or concept stuff. - Add different modes to the GPS core layout model. Be able to switch as needed… Call the different modes “app modes” - Date & work mode - Usage & stats mode - Education & training mode - Permission mode - Settings mode - Relationship & tech mode While we were talking about the core layout, add a 3D cube on the top of the world building pieces. 3D World Building: x=time, y=money, z=space -We need to make things a little bit easier and put things or display things in a visual way. We’ve got tons of great data but it is hard to get it all back out without knowing where it is and how it is stored. Make it simple and obvious. Use grids, graphics, charts, direct changes, simple layouts, etc. |

-New interface idea: Mini adilas GPS core with main nav as sub options. -Add the links for the classic homepage, interactive map, and my favorite buttons. -On time templates… Setup the sort order on the subs of time and which ones show up in what order. For example: Say I wanted sub comments before sub dates or something like that. -As far as sort orders, we may also want to allow sort orders with in each sub. This could be for things like sub dates and times from oldest to newest or newest to oldest. We have also had request for sort orders on sub comments and notes. I would imagine that people want higher levels of control as we go forward. -On time templates… allow for custom titles, captions, and aliases. Allow for tighter controls of the options.

• Emails, tech support questions, and paying bills. • Went in to Logan to work with the guys at the office. • As part of the daily stand-up meeting, we talked about transitioning each developer into a model of working from a list of customer funded projects. Currently, there is too big of a draw and drain on adilas for us to handle all of the developers on an internal project mode or model. We are burning through $5,000 to $6,000 a week just on internal projects. Anyway, the discussion went over okay but I think it made a number of the guys nervous and what not. Cash flow is really tight right now. • Worked with a developer on some Java Script to help add up totals to help with the community funded projects. • He and I worked on the email notification project together. We were working on being able to pass HTML content through a JSON object. We had to do some research and jump through some hoops. • Steve, 2 developers and I were on a conference call going over database options and logic for sub inventory and cost control (packaging). We did a group GoToMeeting session. Lots of database flow in Microsoft Excel. We went through a number of different scenarios.

Steve is very excited for some of the upcoming changes that we will be making to the servers. I also proposed to him that we work on the sub inventory and cost controls (packaging) project and invite others to watch and participate via GoToMeeting or after the fact from saved video recordings that we post online. Steve liked that idea. • Went into Logan to work with the guys. I spent the whole morning working with a developer, dressing up pages, and going over code. He even showed me around his C# code for the software bridge. • On a different note, it was awesome to pay all of the guys their checks today. Funds have been very tight lately. • I worked with a developer and our project manager on a project dealing with average costing. As I was explaining it, I almost talked myself out of it due to the new problems that it makes. • We ended up talking tons about the new and upcoming project for sub inventory and cost controls (packaging). That is the real answer. • Average costing fixes some small pieces but then opens up other holes and problems going both backwards and forwards. It also requires lots more math and looking things up on every hand. It kind of muddies the water. • Lots of good drawings on the whiteboard (wall). • Did some work with a developer on signing off on code for eCommerce and shipping. • I also spent some time with a developer working on the new eCommerce code and API socket connections. • I was kind of lost for a while but finally started to get an idea of how to tackle that project. As a side note… I’ve got weeks and weeks’ worth of code sign-off in front of me. Huge load! 30 miles. • Recording notes from the last couple of days.

Additional Vendor/Payee Tracked As Part Of An Expense/Receipt - Great For Credit Card Transactions | 5/22/2015 |
This project allows for a second and/or additional vendor to be tracked per expense/receipt. This would work awesome for businesses who use a credit card for their transactions. Say we used the Bank of America credit card but bought things from Home Depot. Currently we can only record one vendor/payee per expense/receipt. It would be really awesome if we could record both, Bank of America (who we still owe or the payable) and also Home Depot (who we actually purchased from). Anyways, that is the concept.

When Restoring A Quote To The Cart - Automatically Pull In The Known RFID Tag Numbers | 5/22/2015 |
This project deals with restoring a quote to the cart. Once it does that, the user needs to click a couple of buttons to get the latest RFID tag numbers.

• Memorial Day and major server outage. • Tons of phone calls and emails. • We had ordered a server upgrade on the main data 0 box. The upgrade went well but no database connection were setup. • We then had an incorrect login to the ColdFusion Administrator so we couldn’t get in and tweak things around. • Anyway, we finally got it fixed and the servers are all up and running at this point. Crazy day! Plus, today is Memorial Day of course! : ) • I had some help and inspiration on getting things back online. Answers to prayers. • Working with a developer to sign off on some code for some custom invoices. We did some debugging and testing. Posted new files online. |

• Checking the data 1 server. Upgraded from ColdFusion 10 to ColdFusion 11. Small tweaks and checks to make sure all was well. • Working on payroll options to show sales commissions based off of gross sales vs. commissions based off of profits. • Working with sub reports, totals, and output displays. • On the phone with Steve talking about internal projects like splitting up database tables for invoice and invoice line items. • Other projects are packaging and full database split or world building concepts. We talked about funding options and how to work and play the game. • Went into Logan to work at the office. • A developer called in from New York via video chat. • Another developer called and let us know that his Reno, NV, thing was going to be more intense than originally planned. • We had a full house and staff there today. We had 10 of us guys here today. • All of these guys know generally where they are headed and it is exciting to watch them. I bounced between people and helped where possible. • I also did some email stuff and did a number of tech support related things. • We got a developer some new data and got him lined out to work with stock/units and making sure that we could refine searches, save report settings, and exports to Microsoft Excel. • Some developers were doing sign-offs on icon menus. • My brother and the project manager were working on sales ideas and such. • I worked with a developer a bit on the eCommerce API socket connections. That section is somewhat of a mess right now. It is going to take some time. I also met with the owner of the building and talked about rent, needs, options, and ideas. Busy day! 30 miles. |

• Checking in on the data 2 server. It got upgraded from ColdFusion 10 to ColdFusion 11. • Light testing and checking other servers. • Recording notes. • Also as a note, last night I updated some settings for doing stock/unit trade-ins. • Light tech support. • Emails and ordering printer toner and supplies. • Recording bills and invoices. • Went into Logan to work with the guys. • My brother showed me a bunch of cool graphics and new sales icons for some new flyers. He is doing a great job. • I spent quite a bit of time today with a few developers. We were signing off on code for icon menus. I also showed them how to push files live. I’m hoping that will help open up the code sign-off bottle neck. Currently that is one of our bottle necks in the process. • After that, some developers and I started in on the migration process of splitting up the invoices and invoice payments. That’s going to be a big project. 30 miles. • Signing off on code and posting files online. Small tweaks. |

Daily Ideas | 5/30/2015 | -Plan and setup a meeting to pitch the adilas service hub model. Include a number of key players and persons who could make it work. Allow the meeting to be an open forum and even assign different persons parts of the presentation as part of the pitch. I think that would give it a good flare. Sell the sizzle! | |
