Eric was reporting on the EMV chip readers project. He has turned it over to Alan for code review. Wayne joined the meeting and we were talking with him about Cloudflare and object orientation type code. Lots of talks about database optimization and using less IN statements and less SUMs and groupings. We need to make things faster and faster.

We ended up talking about options of caching queries, storing things in memory vs strict database lookups and going to the database for every time the data is needed. There were other talks about being able to archive and stash the data in some way. We got back to the water turning into ice type analogy - (water, slush, snow, ice).

The other thing that we are finding is the flow of the data is the biggest key... data flowing from operations over to accounting. That seems to be the key.
