Sean checked in. I was doing emails. Shari O. checked in and had a few questions. We talked about projects and new settings for ecommerce. Shari O. has a client that wants to be able to turn active ecommerce (able to place orders and invoices) between certain time slots. Say 7 am to 10 pm. Anything outside of that range, the ecommerce pages wouldn't allow it to be placed.

We are getting closer on submitting taxes for 2022. Shari O. is getting ready to send things off to the CPA. I was having some internet issues and it kept dropping me out of the GoToMeeting session.

Meeting with John. We did a code review and merged in 3 different branches. They were things for the void prep, add/edit main expense/receipts, and expense/receipt line items pages. Lots of local testing and light code changes. We also spent some time looking over the chooser page and talking about CSS and styles. John is making a great effort on the look and feel stuff.

Emails, signing paperwork, and looking into an error message bug.

Meeting with Bryan and going over the bigger alternate logo settings for printable invoices. It got kinda deep and we need to revisit a few things. Code review and making some decisions on where things are going from here.

There were a few of us on the morning meeting. My internet kept dropping in and out. As we started the meeting, Sean and Steve were talking about 3rd party solutions and some of their needs. We are seeing a need and demand for better documentation of the adilas API sockets. We have them, we use them internally, and outside parties use them. We just need to keep giving that section some loving to really make it shine.

Steve asked me about my meeting with my dad and his friend Harry. I mentioned to them that they wanted to see rentals and reservations, as one of the first things that they wanted to know how to do. We can do it, but that too needs a little bit of work and automation. I will keep working with Bryan to keep fine tuning the elements of time and the rentals, reservations, and availability layers that we are working on.

After that, Steve asked a few code questions. He reported that he has been in conversation with some older independent adilas reps. They contacted him and may come join us, internally on our team. That would be cool!

John was showing the guys a demo of the new pages that he has been working on for new look and feel stuff. We talked about hiding some of the text in the forms and making it look simpler. As we were talking, we were telling John that some of those processes are very repetitive and once they learn it, they want to go as fast as possible. As a older side note, when we were working with Jonathan Wells, he had the idea of the education mode where you could turn on/off extra helper verbiage or helpers (handrails of sorts). Great idea.

It is amazing how fast GUI's or UI (graphical user interfaces) change. In a way, we and everyone else is competing with the big dogs as far as expectations and demands. That makes it tough. Along those lines, it would be really cool to gather more info on how our clients are using our system and what they like and don't like. We have tons of data, just no really way to process it and make an analysis of it. That would take a whole other person to really get in there and dig through settings, usage, traffic, choices, wants, needs, etc. That would be really cool but feels like one of those projects that is still out there a ways.

The last topic of the day was another plug for the datasource project and getting everyone on their own database (bus to motorcycle project). It has my vote as well.

Work session and code review with John. We looked over the verify expense/receipt page, verify deposits, and deposit line items pages. We also talked about using custom colors and then went over some of the next pages that will need some loving and help. Good session. Merged and pushed up a few branches of code.

Recording notes from both today and from last Thursday 2/9/23. I already had some done from last week, just finishing up.

Work session with Bryan. We pushed up code and did a code review on the bigger alternate logo project for printable invoices. We ended up touching a number of different invoice pages and invoice views (PDF, printable, printer friendly, limited, summary, mini, black and white, etc.). Pushed up code to data 1 for some live testing.

Recording notes from yesterday and today (2/13-2/14). Emails and other general to do list tasks.
