Making more to do list changes. Working on the customer info inside the shopping cart. Made some buttons and links bigger and then also added an auto hide of the customer info once it gets to a certain number of line items.

Working on small changes for Yogen Fruz, based on an email sent to us from them. Going through some of the line items on the list. Permissions, hiding small messages that didn't relate based on settings, auto hiding browser auto complete info settings, altering the customer quick search, etc.

Setting up a new corp for one of Brandon's friends. He loves to play with CRM's (customer relationship management programs) and wanted to check out adilas. Prepped some things for him and got a new corp and new user setup. Went over to his house for some training. Spent a couple of hours showing him around on settings, customers, elements of time, and flex attributes. Fun little session.

Multi hour Zoom meeting between Sean, Cory, and Brandon. We went over an email sent to us by the Canada company and went line by line over the email and made a bunch of notes. Brandon has a copy of those notes and they were also sent to some key adilas players.

Emails and reviewing a video about a frontend app using the adilas backend. Lots of emails and text messages from the client up in Canada. Right at the end of the day, we got an email with 12 or so things that they wanted done.

Meeting with Gene Spaulding. Went into town and had some pizza, did some catch up, talked shop. Great lunch meeting. We talked about all kinds of stuff including investment options for software, buyout of adilas ownership (Steve and I), HOA's (homeowners association), other local computer and tech companies, and making choices.

Fun side note. Gene was a commercial banker after college. He was the banker that helped me get a small business loan to work on the Learn To Freeride project back in 2005/2006. Learn To Freeride was basically an app before apps were cool and popular. It was for learning how to do snowboarding freestyle tricks and moves. That was one of my old projects. Fun little flashback.

Just for fun... Here is a .zip file of the LTF Volume 1 product. It is about 640 MB but kinda fun. Enjoy!

Jumping in with Bryan to look at some white label info and settings for the Herbo server. Trying to debug some things. Someone had taken over one of the special corporations on the Herbo server. Basically, they just wanted a test site, but they took over one of the special ones (ones that we use to manage each server). That's a no-no. We have code that looks for specific id numbers and such. Anyways, we will reach out and them and get it all figured out and going in a good direction.

Meeting with Josh and Tobias. Small intro between all of us. We chatted for just over an hour. The goal was to see what it would take to revamp adilas. We eventually turned to what it would take to use the API to put an app layer or custom skin over the top of the whole platform. We talked about what FlyHi did with their API socket work and the app that they made. Here are some of my other note:

- Too much - not sleek - needs a reskin - needs to be an app

- The data entry person - who needs what? Keep it super simple. Go talk to them and figure it out.

- What does it look like - pair it down

- API sockets

- Assumptions and being willing to add layers over time

- Being a real business

- Tobias had a great approach based on the use cases not the software itself - don't think... what can it do or how does it work, think... what do I want it to do, don't worry about the current pages and/or limitations. How could this be used? Wouldn't it be cool if..., etc.

- Build on top, abstract, add layers - strip it down and make it specific for each industry - you could do this for any industry (app on top of a backend system)

- Find the low hanging fruit and start there

- Step function (layering it)

- building out a base and then using that as the starting point for other apps

- After they left, I spent some time watching the FlyHi video demo. This was a company that uses adilas but also built an overarching app to manage a whole other side of the picture (app side). They did a great job!

Emails and light clean-up. Added some more documentation to an API call. Started working on a small CSS fix for links in the crumb trail for snow owl theme pages. More emails and a phone call with Bryan to go over some questions.
