Back on 1/20/15 we were brainstorming on a project called round 2 of elements of time. See entries from that date for details. Anyway, when I was driving home, I started thinking about how we needed elements of time to advance the ball for our balance sheet and financial records. When I got home, I scribbled some small ideas on a post-it note and stuck it on my scanner. I’ve been meaning to record those pieces but have been slammed. Here they are: - Use elements of time behind the scenes to record daily records per categories. No other math other than the daily sums is needed. We will then pull reports based on those daily sums. Watchers and feeders. - The different categories will be updated and maintained as they happen in real time. This includes normal actions such as adds, edits, deletes, voids, etc. This is possible as most pieces are manipulated on a one by one basis. - There are tons of entries in the adilas university site on watchers. Search for the key word watchers. Some of the entries go back to 2008, 2009, and 2010. Things started getting hot in 2010. Lots of planning and mapping sessions were being done. That whole process was the prep and foundation for elements of time – round 1. We just ran out of time to get it all done. See specifically the entries for the month of October 2010. Interactive map, watchers, feeders, roll call, mappings, etc. - On the daily records per categories (watchers and feeders), these would be accounting level subs of time. They could be done daily per location as needed. The subs would only be added as something happens. Keep it small and tight. Simple sums would be sufficient. Relate the subs back to pieces of the financials. Use the P&L (profit and loss or income statement) and the balance sheet as the categories to keep track of. For example: part categories, revenue, cost of goods sold, expense types, deposit types, balance sheet pieces, taxes, receivables, payables, etc. - The goal is daily sums per location per category. The word category is kind of broad but record key pieces per day. These feeders could then be used to support and/or feed other reports including the P&L (profit and loss) and balance sheet. - I really need to get these records (my notebook) out to the public. There is a lot of good stuff here that could benefit the whole human race. The ideas, knowledge, and planning are free. Making it happen… that takes resources. See notes back on 1/24/15 about new custom black boxes for custom code. Today while doing a whiteboard session, we may end up adding other options for custom headers and custom footers. These would be more global type pieces but available if needed. The word global means more system wide vs. per page like most of the other custom code. Standard page inside of adilas – black box custom code options: - Top – full takeover or custom logic - CSS – Global or system wide - Top custom header – Global or system wide - Top mini – under the header - Main body black box - Bottom mini – above the footer - Bottom custom footer – global or system wide Be able to switch out any piece of a page as if it was a Lego building system. The page name would remain the same but the display and logic could be customized with no problems. -To take the black box concept even further… What if each page had options to use a point and click interface to show/hide criteria, custom naming conventions, change display order, and even add or subtract links, navigation, buttons, graphics, and even database fields. The extra database fields might need to be tied to the future project called real in-line extensions. See notes from 10/2/14 through 10/9/14. -I wanted to record a miracle… We’ve been working with new interns for over a month now. They are growing and developing some great skills. We are really excited about that. The scary side to that is how much it costs to get them to a level where they can play the game. Anyway, I was telling my dad and he asked me if I could get a loan or something to help bump these guys over the hump into a producing level. I told him that I didn’t think so… He immediately said – “Let me talk to mom and see if we could get you something.” You have to realize that my parents aren’t rich or well to do. They scrape and pinch like most of us. Anyway, I end up heading home, ran some errands, and finally get home. Later I get a call from my dad and he says – “Come by tomorrow and mom will give you some money.” They are planning on loaning me $5,000 to help bump the interns into a producing level. That will really help and is literally a miracle. I feel very blessed. I told my mom and dad… “I want to be just like you when I grew up.” I love how quick they give, serve, help, and jump in. They are and have been a huge blessing in my life. I’m very grateful! |
