Steve and I jumped back on to work on the template CSV upload project. As we were working, we were chatting about finances, our range of customers (who are we trying to serve), and building reports. We briefly talked about the story of the little red hen and how she was trying to get people to help her but they just wanted the homemade bread at the end. They didn't want to help plow the field, plant the seeds, water things, weed things, harvest things, mill the grain into flower, make and bake the bread. They just wanted the end product. Sometimes we feel like that a little bit. People can see the vision, but they may not want to put in the effort to get there and/or make it happen. Just being silly, but Steve said that maybe along side of "Adi" the little blue dog avatar, we should put a little red hen - once again, just being silly.

Anyways, we worked on the upload tool and chatted a bit. We will be planning a retreat, seminar, conference type meeting in the near future. We had some ideas and even worked over some rough numbers and ideas. We'd like to do a conference type event similar to what Adobe did for a ColdFusion conference that 4 of us went to a couple of years back. Group meetings, keynote speakers, breakout sessions, etc. Fun ideas.

In the past, we've barely charged anything for these events, heck, even offered them free years ago. We are thinking of charging $1,000/person this time for 3 days, 7 to 8 hours a day, plus lunch. We will try to do it in Salida, CO - the home of adilas (Salida spelled backwards is adilas). Tons of fun ideas.
