Meeting with the Nxtlinq guys. It was just Thomas and me. We briefly spoke for a few minutes and then jumped off. I then went in and disabled the user access that I had given them to the data 20 box. We will give them a different user login. Light clean-up and then a small email with an update.

Jumped on the GoToMeeting session with Hamid. We were reverse engineering some different web pages and looking under the hood. He is a collector of sorts and had some questions about a site that he visits a lot. Anyways, totally different learning, but we spent the whole time looking at generated code (source code) and searching for small variables and key values. It was kinda fun... Not really hacking, but just looking around and seeing HTML, JavaScript, and CSS stuff. Interesting evening, but still learning.

Small spelling correction on the idea farming graphic. Cascading some small spelling changes. Recording notes from 10/21/25 to 10/23/25.

Working with Bryan. We got him all setup with a VPN (virtual private network) and FTP (file transfer protocol) access to the servers. We talked about flow and some pros and cons to some of these pieces. We talked about security. He used to have access, then we changed servers. We then jumped into adilas and started working with the new AI quick search prompts. He was curious on the progress. He turned on the AI agent for his own corp. Light talks about direction and progress.

Good meeting with Shannon this morning. She was helping me through a small/big (not sure) paradigm shift. We were talking about adilas lite and fracture - proposed project to rewrite the adilas.biz code. It is super deep...

We were talking about instead of the old ship A and new ship B type model, what about ship A becoming or morphing into ship B. Most of our previous talks and content building sessions have been focused on ship A being the older or current model and ship B being the future model (something that was in the future or completely new). We have known about this... but most likely in denial of it... about the fact that already, whether we want it or not, we are starting to morph and change ship A into ship B (what we want). I still think that the ideal is ship A as the working prototype and ship B as the new buildout, but that is not the only way that it could happen. This was the paradigm shift that I was going through this morning...

- Ship A to ship B transformation...

- Going over ideas and what is happening... (all of the events and things that are happening inside of adilas right now)

- The writing is on the wall... It is changing, right in front of us. If this were the case (and it is), what can I do to help that along?

- Building within the context of what we have vs something that is completely in the future.

- Shannon was being a great sister (and counselor today). She was saying, ask God and see what He says. Figure out your direction based on what you know and where you hope to go.

- This little paradigm shift is a big load or big deal if we are looking for a rescue... (somebody to come in and fund this and/or take over and help to manage the progression). So, now what do I do?

- The book "The Horse and His Boy" (by C.S. Lewis) - The lion pushing the horses that last mile - helping to put some fear into them to make them go faster. Sometimes we feel like we are being pushed by a lion... Just having fun with it.

- Be open to a couple of different potential directions

- Story of the wrong roads... They went down the wrong road, then they figured that out. At that point, they knew that one of the roads was incorrect. They could then take the other road with more confidence. Shannon and I were talking about knowing that it is not the right way - Potentially, over and over again...

- We added some good humor in this little discussion and brainstorming session.

- We have been doing this (changing and putting layer upon layer upon layer), over and over again, for 20+ years... Even layouts like classic to snow owl and coding changes from ColdFusion tags to ColdFusion script. We have been dynamically changing for years and years. That is awesome!

- End goals are the same... It is just how we get there...

- Rereading some things in the developer's notebook... (rejecting and pirate ship)

- Recognition... This is one of the steps to moving forward.

Working with Russell. Abby was over at my house. We flipped from coding to graphics. Small art lesson to help Abby with some graphic ideas and such. Russell was working with some drawing tools and showing Abby some different techniques. Duper fun lesson. Ee then played with some older adilas interfaces and talked about what that would take to remake those using newer tech and newer tools.

Small note from Russell - You have to know how to break it down... If you don't know, you can't build it. We were looking at things and talking about how you would approach them, if they were a real project. You almost have to see the smaller pieces so that you can get into those harder projects. Once you know the pieces, you can then start building them up and mixing them together. Fun stuff!

Meeting with the Nxtlinq guys. Fairly quick meeting. Making some great progress. I reported that the multi-tenant options were available on all servers. I also reported on a number of new keywords and prompts. After the meeting, I spent some time and got one of the older accounts on data 20 up and running as a new test spot for the AI agent.

Working on more prompts, keywords, and search options. This was the process - build it out, test it, document it, repeat. Over and over again for a number of features including invoice sales reports, reoccurring invoices, statements, update inventory counts, reports homepage, and master time templates. Pushing through a few new prompts.

Recording notes and getting a check for Shannon. She has been helping me build out content on the adilas lite (fracture) plan. Huge help and I enjoy working with her. Also, see attached, she takes some good notes. This is not a public viewable element of time (what she was working on) but I liked her notes.

Talking with Shannon about prep steps and being guided for future projects. How these AI quick search prompts are actually helping us as we keep moving forward with some of our other plans. We didn't even know that this was going to be a stepping stone, but not it looks more obvious that we needed this next piece in place before we can really charge forward. We have a number of plans that have felt way out there... pretty normal for us (hard to reach or know what to do to get there). With this new development and push (months and hundreds of hours), those pieces are within a touchable range now. Shannon and I went over an element of time (eot) in the shop... EOT # 12392 - it has a number of fun ideas of where we can go and how we can use these AI quick search prompts heading forward.

Switched over to the fracture plan - talking about frameworks, code, and server changes. Lots of opinions here. For the new content on that part of the plan, we kinda skated over it and left it kinda vague on purpose.
