Alan reported in to Cory and I on some of his projects. Alan is getting really close to launching the aggregate vendor catalog project. He thought that he was within a day or two of getting that launched. That has been a multiple month long project but it is getting close. This allows an enterprise corporation or enterprise system to create a list of vendors and then push that data to smaller transactional systems. The transactional system may also pull data down from the master or enterprise level system. Lots of other fun tweaks, permissions, settings, and flow (both up and down the chain).

He has also been working on refactoring code, resetting shared memory objects, admin reset tools, and unit testing. Busy times.

Also, as a fun side note, Cory and I are getting better at asking these developers some feeler type questions about different things. Not just - how is the project going, but things like how do you feel, are you ok with that, what do you like about this or that project, how are things on the financial side (getting paid), etc. We are trying to get better and better and treat our guys and gals like the friends that they are. Good stuff.
