Cory, Sean, John, and I were on the meeting. Cory and Sean were talking about speeding up certain harder processes with automation or bulk tools. Once again, pain is the leader in showing what needs to be done differently. Sometimes big manual processes or clean-up actions are or can be very painful. They also highlight what needs to happen, what processes need to be automated, and provide motivation to get some new development to help ease those pains and speed things up.

John briefly reported on what he is working on. He's been kinda distracted trying to get school, home, and other things ironed out. Lots of moving pieces.

We texted Alan, but he was unable to meet up with us. So, Cory and jumped into other projects and what not. We spent a good part of the meeting going over different projects and talking about direction. One project that we talked about was an existing client is going to be buying a shuttle service that takes mountain bikers up to the top of the mountain, takes their bikes up, and then provides a parking place for them at the bottom of the mountain. The client already uses adilas for a different business. They want us to automate the process for the shuttle reservations and help them get their whole business online and allow people to book and reserve things online through an ecommerce type scenario.

Cory and I spent some time talking about options and I even showed her some similar type things that we had done for other projects and clients. She will be setting up a meeting for next week to talk and work directly with the client.

At the end, I spent some time recording notes and transferring notes from post-it notes to digital entries. One of the biggest take a ways is that the pain of doing things manually and how that pushes us to the next level of thinking, scheming, or wanting to develop or pay for something that makes it easier.
