As part of our meeting, I was explaining to Chuck about our invoice due date project. He had a ton of good ideas and we talked about options to combine the invoice due date with automated reminder emails and what not. Great ideas. This is just for fun, but he said that he used a different product and it had automated reminders. He got more responses from the "nag" (automated emails) than he did by asking for money. As we were talking and joking around, he said, we should rename our automated email stuff "The Nagatha" (one-off from the nag). Just being silly.

Once we got back to normal work, we spent some time looking over the flex grid stuff. He is working on the add/edit flex grid tie-in page (rework and page facelift). We also spent some time talking about different questions, ideas, and styles. Those conversations included topics and discussions dealing with taking heat on making changes and adding a more modern look and feel (getting in trouble for making things look better). We have a lot of users who don't like change and we are constantly rolling out new changes, tweaks, and refinements. That's how we roll.

We spent some time talking about things that need to go in the adilas docs (internal snippets and style guide). We also went over some testing and talking about adding in tons of client-side validation (JavaScript) for fracture. We also talked about the value of doing small prototypes and how much we can learn by doing those little mini apps. As a side note, Chuck is really excited about fracture (future project in adilas) and has a number of great ideas and vision. Almost every time we talk, I hear him throw out a ping or a reference for planning and building out fracture. We'll get to it... it just takes time and resources, but the vision and dream are out there. Let's go get it!
