Shop 12769 Adilas key Contributors 3/17/2026  

Adilas Key Contributors:

Steve Berkenkotter - Main owner and business partner - original ideas, concepts, and training - sales, relationships, dreamer, visionary, custom code, coordinator, builder of the first industry specific skin, and the list goes on. Huge player in the adilas story and timeline. One of the original owners in Moring Star Automotive - where the system came from. There are three known Steve's in the system notes. Most of them are this Steve (99 out of 100 times). He won't admit it, but adilas was his brainchild.

David Berkenkotter - Steve's brother and business partner in Morning Star Automotive. David was a system user and helped us create the adilas quick search. He liked using that feature, the quick search, but it only existed on one page originally. He wanted us to put it on every page. That ended up being in the header. He was also one of the original partners in adilas. Power user in the system. Sadly, he passed away due to cancer.

Shari Olin - Commonly known as "Shari O.". She worked in the accounting department back in the Morning Star days. She has been somewhat of a mother hen to help all of us crazy chickens keep going. She helps with customer support, training, payroll, bill collection, and tons of backend office functions. Major power user. Just being silly, but she can have the mouth of a sailor but the heart of an angel. Part of the adilas admin team and a great friend.

Craig Leitner - Also part of the original Morning Star team. Craig was the automotive floorplan and bank guy. He is a power user in the system and does a lot of bank reconciliation and other tasks. He currently works with Steve and asks as the adilas controller (money flow guy).

Cory Warden - Originally an adilas rep and consultant. Cory become part of the team after being a rep for quite some time. She helps with customer care, client support, project management, and keeping the team on track. She also does all of the news and updates and other training material. Cory does tons of oversight type services for our clients. Power user and part of the admin team.

Sean Carlton - Sean was a manager at a Cannabis dispensary in Colorado that used adilas for years and years until they sold. Steve recruited Sean to help with sales, deployment, and training. Sean brings lots of usage experience. Often, he is one of the helpers if we need to send someone onsite to help with a deployment or training session. Power user.

Brandon Moore - I'm one of the guys that writes most of the developer's notebook entries. Originally, I was hired by Morning Star, the automotive dealership, to help with data entry, accounting, and website stuff. I ended up being one of the main adilas developers and architects. I build content, write code, help other developers and team members, and help with training. Helped start the project back in 2001 under the Morning Star name.

Chris Dunsey - One of the first adilas interns (developers). Helped with a number of projects. Ended up being somewhat of a consultant later on.

Shawn Curtis - Kinda a funny story. He was taking a developer's class at Bridgerland. He knew my brother Russell. He asked to join our developer class and became one of the first interns along with Chris Dunsey. Shawn ended up helping with payroll and other projects. Some of the photo galleries in the system came from Shawn's help. He also worked on the media/content (file upload) pieces. Later on, he did more payroll work and acted as a buddy to Brandon and did some consulting work. We worked together for years and years.

Russell Moore - Russell is my younger brother. Originally, he was added to the group because of his graphic skills. He ended up being a great backend developer and project manager. He has also acted as a trainer and mentor for Brandon along the way. Much of the current system came from projects and efforts that Russell was involved with. He has also been Brandon's AI tutor in recent years. Great help to the system. Huge contribution.

Chris Johnnie - He is an entrepreneur who teamed up with Russell to help create a company called "Adilas For Business" or "AFB". Eventually, both Russell and Chris sold their pieces back to adilas. They were honestly the first ones to really try to run as a white label of adilas. This was back in 2015 and 2016. Chris really helped to push the product to the next level along with Russell's help.

Danny Shuford - Longtime friend of Steve's. Danny helped with some website design, sales, and videos for adilas. He even got into creating custom PDF labels for clients. Light development work.

Marisa Shaw - She is Danny's daughter. Danny brought her to an adilas training event in Denver, CO. Marisa was the star student. She ended up helping with some graphics, flyers, marketing material, teaching, instruction, and planning. Power user. Very helpful.

Shannon Scoffield - Shannon is Brandon and Russell's sister. Her maiden name is Shannon Moore. Huge help and virtual assistant to Brandon. She has helped with training, project management, and content creation. Most of the major content sessions were or have been with Brandon and Shannon working together. When they, Brandon and Shannon, were traveling, Shannon was one of the primary adilas instructors. If she was teaching Brandon was taking notes. If Brandon was teaching, Shannon was taking notes. Power user.

Cheryl Moore - Cheryl is my mom. What an asset. She owns a small business and has owed a few different ones. When we were doing training sessions, she came to every one of them. She asked wonderful questions and was a great supporter. Sometime, I would use her as a test subject - can my mom do this? If yes, we are good. If not, we may need to keep tweaking it. Thanks mom!

Wayne Moore - Wayne is my dad. He was my hiking buddy and more than willing to talk about ideas and concepts on our walks and hikes. He helped out with video stuff and was a great coordinator for making other connections. He worked at Bridgerland (technical college) and helped us get setup with classrooms, computer labs, and other great connections. Huge cheerleader! There is another Wayne, Wayne Andersen, he is a backend developer, systems guy, and database guy.

Wayne Andersen - This Wayne lives in Portugal and helps with all of the backend security, server, and code testing. Major skills, writes code, helps push all of us to new technologies, partially retired but loves to play with tech stuff. If you search for Wayne and it deals with concepts and coordination stuff, that's my dad, Wayne Moore. If you search for Wayne and it sounds like a master backend guy, that's Wayne Andersen.

Alan Williams - One of the lead developer's at adilas.biz. Alan joined us in 2015 and quickly came up through the ranks. Trainer, CTO, team lead, master developer, prototyper, and system architect. Alan has helped with many projects and features over the years. He also helped Brandon with some of the prep work for the adilas lite (fracture) plans and project. Sometimes called "Dr. Alan" by the other developers. Example: This might be a project for Dr. Alan.

Bryan Dayton - Bryan has been one of the most versatile guys on our team. Originally, he joined a development class out of curiosity. He and Brandon live in the same town and know each other from church. Bryan has done more custom code or small system projects than almost any other developer. He also joined the team in 2015. He helps with sales, custom projects, pushing on projects that he thinks will yield a return. Lots of work on the adilas lite and fracture project. Very hard working and versatile.

Dustin Siegel - Developer who helped with numerous cannabis and cultivation type projects. He worked directly under Steve to help with that business vertical. Many of the original pages that Steve built were taken over and remade by Dustin.

Eric Tauer - Developer and custom code guy. Originally, Eric knew Steve and lived in Salida, CO. As a note, adilas is Salida spelled backwards. Eric has a background in database work and data warehousing. Eric has done tons of custom systems for clients. Often, Eric would pioneer certain features or logic, as custom code, and then we would bring those features into the main adilas application.

Garrett Kirschbaum - Adilas intern and then full developer back in 2015. Stressful time of building and expansion. He and others helped run the adilas shop with Brandon's help. Garrett was a great developer and helped us standardize a number of tools and features. He was the first developer to work on sub inventory, back in the day. He also did other projects and helped with some developer management stuff.

Charles or "Chuck" Swann - Charles was an instructor at Bridgerland for web development. He builds custom websites, does amazing mock-ups, prototypes, and is a CSS master (styling a website using code). Chuck worked with Russell to help with redesign work, projects, and vision. Chuck worked fulltime for a number of years and now works and coordinates work done by a small hand-picked design and development team. Anything that needs some design loving gets passed over the Chuck and his small team.

Steve McNew - Friend of Steve Berkenkotter's. This Steve helped prep some whitepaper documents to help with getting adilas standardized and some internal audit type stuff. Mostly white papers and putting things down on paper. He ended up getting hired by the local school district and wasn't able to finish the process, but he got it started. He asked some great questions, and we had some good conversations.

Abby Elkins - Abby is Brandon's daughter. Her maiden name was Abby Moore. Abby, when she was little (10-12 years old) helped with some of the original concept artwork for adilas. Later on, she helped with content for the presentation gallery and then the adilas lite plans (fracture). Currently, she is working graphic artwork for different adilas pages. She's now in her mid 20's and has some awesome art and content skills.

Aspen Moore - Aspen is Abby's younger sister and Brandon's daughter. Aspen helped Brandon with some planning and counseling (mental help). Aspen also did some general business consulting with her dad Brandon.

John Maestas - Developer, backend server guys, and designer. John came to us through Dustin. John was uses as a jack of all trades on the backend and frontend. He did numerous projects, documentation, payroll, and page redesign projects. John was also very help to Brandon in working on the notes and comments on the SWOT analysis document. Many other projects as well. Good vision of the future.

Kiva Berkenkotter - Steve's wife. She helped Steve with various projects and planning sessions. At one point, she was in charge of paying commissions and collecting monthly reoccurring payments. Huge supporter to Steve!

Heather Moore - Heather is Brandon's wife. What a trooper. Cheerleader, support, ideas, and consulting. Huge asset to Brandon (me). Thanks Heather!

Jonathan Wells - Designer and mock-up guy. He helped to map out the system and created a number of deep mock-ups for adilas lite (fracture) projects. Great job catching the vision and putting those pieces into a visual representation. We still refer to his work when talking about fracture (future project for adilas).

Jonathan Johnson - Business consultant from Epic Enterprises. Met with Brandon and Steve in end of 2019 into 2020. Really helped us see some needs and opportunities. Later, helped Brandon with some other consulting when trying to define the fracture plan.

Calvin Chipman - Windows software developer. Calvin also did a bunch of web-based work, database stuff, label printing, and API socket stuff. Calvin was the first developer to use the adilas API's to create a native mobile app for a client. He also built a number of special developer tools used by some of our team to speed things up. He's the tool guy!

Cody Apedaile - Bryan Dayton's cousin, Cody helped with a bunch of JavaScript code and changes. He also spent some time working on the UML diagram for the adilas database. We didn't get things finished, but he was working on a new build your own interface (custom to you) for adilas. We ran out of funding. We want to get back to that project at some point.

Dave Forbis - Dave was the official "high tech gofer". He did a bunch of things. Graphics, project management, brainstorming, planning, sales, and helped with managing developers for the adilas shop. He was another great student. He came to a number of training courses and brought so much to the courses. He was also a big support to Brandon during some rough times.

Josh - There are three Josh's. Josh Wheeler, Brandon's friend and developer. Josh Sagert, developer and adilas user (worked tons on the discount engine), and Josh White, Steve's friend from California. Josh White has brought us a number of bigger leads and bigger players, like franchises, and other higher-end clients. Anything recent is Josh White, from California. He helps with networking, sales, and dreaming of new things.

Suzi Distelberg - Sales, training, and deployment. She also worked with some custom projects and doing step-by-step user guides. She has helped with all kinds of projects and even gone onsite for setups and training. Great asset!

Kelly Whyman - Kelly is Dustin's wife. Kelly was single handedly the best independent sales rep that adilas had. She did training, consulting, and sponsored a number of custom projects. Kelly helped Steve and Brandon with reports, functionality, and other things. She got so good at things, state contracts snagged her up to work at state and multi-state level stuff.

Molly Hennessy - Molly was another independent sales rep and consultant. She had numerous clients and got into doing SOP's (standard operating procedures) and other high-end documentation and training. Molly was an entrepreneur and even started creating some of her own product and services. If you search adilas on google, some of the other results are from Molly. Super creative and a great consultant.

Hamid Karbasi - Developer - He has worked with Brandon doing small websites, training, and small tasks. He currently is a manager at a retail store and brings some managerial type skills to the table. Willing to talk about concepts and how they apply to retail and other environments. He is also lightly helping with some planning for fracture.

Gene Spaulding - Friend, entrepreneur, and businessman. Gene is an old college friend. We had a number of friends in common. He has been a small mentor to me over the years. Way back, before adilas, he helped me get my first business loan for a project that I was working on.

Sharik Peck - Friend, entrepreneur, public speaker, physical therapist, and businessman. Good influence and mentor in ways. Sharik and I used to exercise together back in the day. Many of fun walk, run, and weightlifting session. Learning some conference and training skills from him and his wife. They have done really well pushing their product lines and doing some marketing. Trying to get some ideas.

Bridgerland Technical College - Use to be Bridgerland Applied Technology College. Not a person, but a huge help. This is a local technical college in the Logan, UT, area. Brandon's dad, Wayne, worked there. Tons of assets. They provided classrooms, training options, computers, and even an small incubation spot (starter office space) for the adilas shop during the startup phase. Huge asset!

McCorvey's Pro Shop - Also known as Bowling World. Client that had multiple locations. The started out with around 30 and grew up to the 90+ location level, all using adilas. Long time client.

Emerald Fields - They were the first client that wanted their own fully dedicated box and server. They had multiple locations and requested some custom code, reports, and features.

Beaver Mountain Ski School - Client that we helped them track their ski school (snow sport) lessons. Students, instructors, classes, and schedules. Custom interface dealing with elements of time and flex grid.

Bear 100 - This was the first event or annual event client that we did. They used the system for about a week each year. They had 350+ runners and their families that would be on the site for multiple days straight. It was a 100 mile running race with 13 aid stations and a small social portal for the family and friends to watch their runners. This one was special as it had custom input options to upload CSV files to populate the database vs normal HTML form field entries. Records were sent in batches from remote places to adilas for storage and race progress.

High Valley Bike Shuttle - Online ecommerce and scheduling client. They also have a cafe and small retail store. Fun online scheduling and bulk flex grid projects.

Herbo - Mike Roundtree, owner of Herbo, was the first company to do a small white label of adilas. Mike has been a great asset to Steve and the two of them have worked on projects, plans, and dreams. Herbo also has a custom payment solution that they are trying to market and get rolling. Mike has been a great supporter for years. He is also a certified CPA and that credential helps us and him. We would like to get other CPA's on board as well. Thanks Mike!

Nxtlinq AI - AI assistant. These guys really pushed us to get an AI agent inside of adilas. Tons of development took place and lots of prep stuff. We wanted to do a 3-part plan for integrating AI. 1. Teach it how to navigate using the AI quick search (check - done), 2. Teach it all things adilas. and 3. Teach it how to be clear up at the consultant type level. We only got the first phase done. Lots of other plans and such, but we ran out of funding.

Grok AI - Steve loves using Grok. He has built a number of image generation options inside of adilas. He is also working with Grok to feed it data to help with analytics and AI insight. This is not finished yet, but we may end up using Grok as an AI assistant inside of adilas. We have simple and emerging connections available right now but need to really polish things up before going live with the AI assistant options.

ChatGPT AI - We have started using ChatGPT to help with code, explanations, explore resources, planning, and help with training and flow for people and other AI bots. Currently, Brandon, Steve, Bryan, Alan, Josh, Russell, Chuck, and Wayne are using AI in either ChatGPT chat sessions or some other form of AI. We have some using Copilot, Gemini, Claude, etc. AI is actually helping in many ways. ChatGPT is a big one for use. Anyways, they are earning their place in the adilas key contributors list.

There are so many more that I can't list. Developers, users, power users, reps, consultants, trainers, clients, accountants, friends, family, and even critics. They have all helped out the idea farming process and progression. Good stuff! We couldn't have done this alone. It takes a community to do what we are doing.

Shop 11333 Client meeting 8/22/2024  

Meeting with the Lucky Puppy or Puppy Palace folks (dog nails and grooming service). They are looking for a multi-relational pets to owners, pets to techs, color based key, and tons of other things. I showed a small demo of the backend code and where we are at with things. They wanted to know where we are heading moving forward. They are a potential client and we are looking for ways to help them out and solve some of their problems. Suzi recorded the last half of the meeting when they were showing us some of their needs. These are some of my notes:

- As a disclaimer... I went back through the video and refined my notes. Original meeting was on 8/22. I rewatched the video on 8/26 and added a few more notes on 8/27/24. We already have a ton of these pieces. This meeting was to show us what they are wanting and needing and how we will need to put it all together. Just guessing, but I'd say we have 85% of all of these things right now. We just need to tweak a few things out, make some plans, add some new settings, and alter the flow a little bit here and there. That's awesome!

- Choose a customer, choose a pet, choose a service(s), choose a color, choose other assistants, check in/out, create a cart, manage the tips (split tips - they really want this... this was huge). Be able to copy the booking and rebook it (docking and rebooking). Email and text message back to the client. That's kind of a summary of sorts.

- Be able to edit the cart and add discounts during checkout

- 100 appointments a day - phone calls, changes, super-fast paced

- Show cancelations - what was there - They like to see what has changed, moved, or been canceled

- Adding a new client and making it quick - currently, they are using first name, last name, cell phone, email, and zip code. Be able to add more if needed. We have tons of settings there already.

- Notes on pets ... name, type (breed), age, size, up to date on vaccine, does it bite? etc. - thinking about flex grid tie-ins or a custom table there. On the notes and records for the dogs, maybe group things and then allow a subset to be shown. Go from simple groups (say per pet name) to more complex, everything tied to that pet.

- Each service has a time (block of time) associated with the service - there are some pros and cons to that approach. Anyways, just making a list of things that they were showing us and asking for.

*** Fast... they love drag and drop - They would love to be able to easily drag and drop and edit a time slot (length of the appointment - longer or shorter) all done through drag and drop.

- Making the appointments, changing the appointments, etc. - planning for the next step

- Major color code key - they are using multiple colors - each one means something - allow them to set up their own keys and values and colors.

- Tie-in the monies a little bit tighter - they would love to see it more or better - currently they are using multiple systems and then running the cards on the side. They would love to see it all tied in together better. Ideally, they are wanting a mix of an integrated scheduling software package, CRM (customer and pet relationship management), full POS (point of sale), ability to mix both products and services, and manage the money part of the puzzle. Sounds like our kind of game.

*** Tip splitting is huge... keep track of things... tight - reporting the tips split by person (by tech). Help automate this for them. Currently, they have to do it manually. This feature is big enough that it is a make-or-break level feature.

- They are having a problem with tracking their dogs... and having to read the notes for each one, over and over. They need the multi-relational database between owners and pets. We want to really help make this nice. I was originally thinking flex grid tie-ins... We may want to look into a way of doing sub queries or special grouping to make it smoother. We could also do some sort of custom table or custom joiner table.

- Being able to see the whole picture... they need techs, time slots, rooms, services, and needs (client and pet needs). All tracked in one place. Fully customizable - show simple to more complex.

- Alerts on the appointments - little flags - possibly even color-coded tags and flags

- A 3D view of the techs, the rooms, the appointments, the needs, the conflicts, the crossovers, etc. - that would be super cool - just an idea

*** Email and text messaging - app messaging - they really want normal text messaging including conversations back and forth. Here are a few other things related to text messaging needs: - Send message when booking the appointment, send reminders - multiple, send appointment confirmations - auto and manual, send booking reminders - some of their appointments are booked out 4-6 weeks in advance. There was also some talks about sending out auto emails for different actions or steps. Those would need to be defined.

- Switched to a different software package - They started showing us "Rosy" (used for 8 years - lots of data and history) - this is a human salon based software package. Part way through, the switched and showed us a dog or pet care solution called "GrooMore". They, the client, currently used Rosy in one location and the GrooMore software in another location. They are looking to get the best of both worlds. Ideally, we, adilas can come up with a mix and blend of both and become/be used as a newer or custom software option.

- They would like customizable enterprise - multi-location controls and flow of data, pricing, processes, reporting, etc.

- There are going to be transition strategies that need to be involved as our relationship develops. They want to keep going, with minimal issues, get back data, and make it all smooth. At some point, depending on what we can show them, we may need some transition strategies.

- There are too many appointments - a glitch could really be a problem - high volume

- They would like the option of seeing the last service, if known, per client/pet

- They want the appointment to hold all services and all assistants vs each service being its own appointment and each helper being its own mini appointment. More relational database connections.

- Their customer and service look-ups were really fast - asynchronous calls - like ajax or dynamic select or predictive text searches

- Be able to set settings for future interactions - what they normally get - be able to save that (speed things up by saving choices per customer and per pet)

- They need both owner names and pet names to show up on the view - They also want to see both names, client and pet(s), along with all services (cart line items), as well as other assigned flags per appointment. These would show up on the rollover or mouse hover action (aka the popup or rollover popup).

- They are constantly checking the schedule (visual display) to make sure all is well - help them out - simple look and feel with all of the details under the covers.

- Simple to add the other assistants - some appointments require 2-4 extra techs - make that quick. As a side note, the main appointment may be for a certain time and the assistant may be for a subset of that time. All tied to the correct pet.

- Showing conflicts - on the fly - both from calendar view and through a setup flow

- Showing the scheduling for any other assistants. Along with that, booking multi-staff appointments and then making sure that things stay tied together.

- Simple process (how long - in minutes) - add the drag and drop (super cool). Allow for both manual changes or drag and drop changes.

- Docking - saving or moving things - everything that is attached (all attached) - be able to move or put in the holding queue (session or memory) and then pull that back out when ready. Even having multiple things in the memory queue if needed. That would be cool. If needed, we could reuse quotes as a template of sorts. We could also allow for multiple things to be put in the queue. Kinda like a multi copy and paste board of sorts. You just get to manage it (really simply).

- Confirmed or unconfirmed appointments - checked in/out, paid, etc. - different flags and colors per appointment

- Colors - new dogs, bite risk, etc.

- Be able to book multiple staff members at the same time

- Multi-level sliding modals to add things - pretty slick

- Birthdays - it is nice to be able to just put in years and months and back figure the birthdate (help them out). Allow for either a real birthday or back figure based on the approximant (years and months combo).

- Being able to add tags for clients and tags for dogs - each their own tags and flags. Each tag gets a name/title and a color.

- Medical issues and comments - be able to add/edit

- Vaccination records - tracking that info

- Vet info - doctor info and such

- Dashboards

- Conversational text messages and using a huge texting tool

- Intake forms - QR codes or links - they add their own documents or forms (confirm and accept forms) - let the clients put in their own details. These client intake forms would be handled through the ecommerce or client portal section of the application.

- Quick jump from day to day, week to week, and month to month

- Notes - intake notes, appointment notes, ongoing list of notes. Being able to search and filter notes as needed.

- Be able to add/edit the tags per person or per pet

- Being able to search clients or pets by the tags. Thinking flex attributes for this.

- They are doing some mobile on-site appointments. They want to pull up clients in that area to say we are in the area. They like to tag their client's general location (area) to help with targeted marketing efforts.

- Bulk text messaging based on filters or tags - batch send out things based on applied filters of the larger record set.

- Searching by pet name and then finding the client based on the dog or pet name

- Deceased dogs - dogs that have passed away - they still want to see it - maybe just flagged vs not fully deleting the pet profile.

- They would love integrated financials - in the end

- Reach out to Jen if I have other questions. Debi and her crew seemed to be pretty busy (booked).

- Just an idea, currently we allow for photos and media/content to be added to the main customer or client records. Up to 100 photos per client. Do we want to open that up and allow for sub groupings withing the photos for the specific dogs? We do allow things like this to take place for parts and general inventory items (photos and media/content for subs). Anyways, this could come later as well, if needed. Just an idea.

- Empower them on the setup and layout... Let them drive it - block sizes, what to show on the title per appointment, what to show on the hover (rollover popup), color keys, flags, etc.

*** vertical time view (a design has been built by Chuck - branch CAS-93)

- For me - claim some time - make time for it - review the video and make a plan... make sure that we have access to the correct demo site and make things flow there. Thinking about settings and putting the power in their hands - put them in the driver's seat. Wow - great meeting!

1/13/25 Bryan and Brandon meeting 

To outline what it would take in time/money to complete this project.  Then take the information to Steve and Suzi to decide if we are moving forward or putting it on hold. 

A ball park estimate without outlining each project would be at least 200-250 hours ($20,000-$25,000).  At 20 hours per week (which Bryan has available) it would take 3 months.  This project would be utilized in similar pet grooming and salon type businesses.  Currently Puppy Palace would utilize this.  At $300/month the ROI would be 5 years.

1. Vertical time view. (20-40hr project)

    a. Populate Charles' layout

    b. Already have a time slot view.

2. Add drag and drop. (done fairly quickly because time slots already exist - Javascript edit).

    a. outsource this to Cody (20-30hr)

3. Tip splitting. (20hrs)

    a. tips field exists (Eric) on the main invoices if using CC.

    b. open up so that any cart can utilize it.

    c. create a tips page.

4. Texting/email API. (30-40 hrs)

    a. Garrett/Calvin created apis with Twillio.

    b. General filtering (no "cannabis", other reserved words).

    c. They pay 3rd party directly, or pay through Adilas? Monitor and record that.

5. Flagging and Tagging tweaks (15-20 hrs).

6. Pet specific needs. Owner to pet, pet to vet, etc.

*** could be used for multiple Adilas projects.

Shop 4105 Working on the user guide 10/31/2018  

Emails and looking into an error with the old part weight field out in ecommerce land. It had some code that tried to format it as a number but technically, it was stored in the database as a string. I added some validation and conditions and uploaded the pages. This was an error that has been showing up from time to time but we just didn't know where it was coming from. Nobody reported it but the spiders (web crawlers and search engine crawlers) were hitting it over and over again. We found it due to a backend error trapping report that Garrett created a couple years back. Anyways, hopefully we have it fixed now.

Shop 1265 Code Sign Off 4/27/2016   Signed off with Will on a number of projects. We went through 4 pull requests on bit bucket. A couple custom carts, a couple 3D graphs, and one that used both Ajax and JQuery to check barcodes and items in the cart. Garrett is helping Will after hours. Together, the two are pumping through some cool projects. Will interfaces with the adilas Team and then Will interfaces directly with Garrett. Interesting little model.

Shop 765 Beaver mountain 2/18/2016   Started working on some of the Beaver Mountain stuff. We hit a couple of snags and got derailed on some bugs in a recent code push by Garrett and Will. We spent quite a bit of time on the phone with Garrett going over options and ended up reverting to an earlier code set. Kinda stressful as tons of files were merged into the master branch without being fully checked. Daniel and I were hitting some errors and there were tons of files that had not yet been checked.

As part of our session, I asked Bryan, Russell, and Daniel for some advice to help me know what to do and how best to handle some quality control issues that are starting to come up. Stressful but good session.

4:30-5:15 Recording notes from yesterday.
5:15-6:00 Browsing photos for Adilas concepts, designs, and issues on the Adilas for business web site. This is the project that Russell and I have been working on. Lots of good ideas and concepts. Light brainstorming on how to educate and market the Adilas tool set. The idea is to focus on the business function that we provide. Basically, it all goes back to the Adilas formula 101-Mix (functions,players, concepts) to get Results. That includes the 12 business functions, the 12 main player groups, and the 12 core concepts.
6:45-8:00 Paying bills and cleaning up my schedule in the Adilas shop elements of time. Emails and other cleanup.
9:00-10:30 Went into Logan to work. Met with Alan and we started into a code sign-off process for my cart favorite buttons and being able to switch between Flash (normal) and HTML buttons. This is needed for users who use Apple products such as: I pods, I pads, and I Phones, some of these are Apple products don't natively support Adobe Flash widgets. Anyways, partway through the process, we got a call from Hypur and they needed some help testing their API. So we helped them out for a good half an hour. WE then got back to our stuff. Crazy morning. 30 Miles.
10:30-12:00 Meeting with Daniel, Shannon and Dave Forbis about Beaver Mountain. Daniel and I laid out our plan and I got input from both Dave and Shannon. We also talked about starter packages and easy setup packages. Some of our conversation ended up going in the direction of what should we charge for setup, training, and consulting. We had a good talk and I lightly pitched the ideas of the hub model to both Dave and Shannon. Fun meeting.

Shop 286 Working with Garrett 12/8/2015   Prep for sub inventory.

Notes: Big push on sub inventory with Garrett. We met and worked on different pieces, bug fixes, & cascading new number calculations & tying sub inventory to locations. We followed flow, test, fixed, and did some standardizing of the code. It still needs more work, but it is getting better. We were on a GoToMeeting session with Steve almost the whole time. He was working in Colorado and Garrett and I were working on things here in Utah. We were all doing our own things and then chiming in together as needed. Interesting dynamic. At the end of the day, Garrett and I pushed up some new code, rand updates, and did some testing. After that we went and grabbed a bite to eat. Great session & making progress.

8:30-9:00 On the phone with Steve going over plans and what is happening. Crazy times.
10:45-6:15 Went into Logan to work. Help Bryan out with his projects. Had a meeting with both Calvin and Bryan to talk about permissions and who used what features. Basically, how do we advertise features and still control who gets them based on admin (universal level) permission and corporation and user (world level) permissions. Calvin is working on an export for Quick Books and Bryan is finishing up a consolidated report for receivables and payables. Next I worked with Daniel and went over plans for Beaver Mountain Ski School. We wrote an email and updated a quote from them. We are still trying to negotiate prices, features, and such. After that, I worked with Bryan and we added some new permissions to his consolidated receivables and consolidated payable reports. We made changes and pushed files live. Garrett came by and we chatted about some features for sub inventory and getting up some new servers and possibly doing some bidding on servers and setup services for servers. I gave Garrett a check and got him all paid up on his current projects. Next, I worked with Russell on a sales page. We talked about graphics and ended up brainstorming on how to teach and show world building concepts using the GPS core layout graphic. We did a number of pages and went through diagrams for the universe level, the galaxy level, the cluster level, and the world level. Lots of drawing and sketching, and talking about flow and options. I find this stuff exciting. The last part of the day was helping Bryan sign off on code for his custom invoice (Excel format). Lots of code clean-up and testing. Good, but busy day. 30 miles.

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.

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.
