When I got on, Steve had some questions about time templates and making some of them hidden and not allowing users to interact with them. I thought that was interesting, as when we were developing time templates, that there were needs back in 2010 and first part of 2011 where we wanted to build system monitors and system time templates and not let the users interact with them and/or change anything on them. Originally, that was one of the reasons for thinking up some of the templates in the first place. We talked about possible solutions and using the time template status to help control - active, inactive, and hidden templates. The hidden ones would or could end up being the system controlled templates. They would exist, but we could limit them from being edited, updated, and even viewed from time to time. Lots of options.

The other day,  Shannon and I were thinking about permissions and settings and it felt like there was a third piece to that mix. I couldn't put my finger on it. I'm wondering if it has something to do with a mix between the two and dealing with templates, of all kinds, not just time templates. A template is somewhat of possible mix between permissions and settings. Technically, you could have user-defined templates, system templates, time templates, invoice templates, user templates, location templates, corporation templates, etc. The list could go on and on. The templates allows for an interesting mix and also playing more in bulk vs single or standalone permissions and settings. Anyways, just a thought.

Danny, Dustin, and John were on the meeting as well. Each one checked in on what they were doing. Dustin will be out of pocket during the month of September, he was just letting us know (family and travel plans). Also, just wanted to record this - "family first" - super common phrase that comes out of Steve's mouth. Good stuff. In the end, that's what really matters.

Towards the end of the meeting, I was explaining to those on the meeting what Shannon and I are working on and how we are comparing the game changer of the video recorder to what Adilas is doing on the same business recording type level. I gave them some examples and we chatted about some ideas. Tons of potential.

We talked about how the video recorder went through a whole process and series of adaptations to go from big, huge, super expensive, exclusive, and had to have special equipment, budgets, and connections to being handheld, on a phone, in almost every hand (literally) and even cool inventions like the GoPro and how small, mobile, shockproof, waterproof, etc. It has become accepted and readily available. It really is and was a major game changer. Adilas is following a similar path in what we are trying to do and record and make accepted and available our business recordings. It (adilas) is the business recording device, without having to use 6-10 different software packages and then trying to marry things together in a huge mash-up type model.

This, adilas platform and dynamic app, is a fully integrated and fully functioning system - system being the keyword. End to end, the whole digital story. I can't tell you how many times we have said, wouldn't it be cool if we could play the virtual story (movie) backwards or forward and could stop, pause, or replay certain happenings. We don't have the data quite that flowy (aggregated and rolled up summaries and counts) yet but it is getting better and better. Think of the kind of data and business intel (BI - business intelligence) we will be able to get and show as we keep going forward. Once again, end to end, the full digital story! Backwards and forwards! Super cool!

Dustin - How to show an elephant? You show a picture of it and then break it down. We were looking over some research and Adobe XD documents from Jonathan Wells and talking about getting those prototypes, visuals, and mock-up's out to the public. Good stuff. Lots of work there still to do. Show people and the world what is possible. Adilas is a huge, working, fully functional prototype. We would love for people to take the time to really see what we are doing and working on. The trick is how do you do that? Make people slow down and/or take notice of what is going on. Lots to offer!
