click to enlarge - photo by: Brandon Moore - Steve was working with Danny Shuford and they talked with a local artist, there in Salida, CO, named Naters Art. He was going through and comparing adilas to a dog. Things like, you ask adilas to go and do this or that, and it listens and goes. Funny.
 
 


Notes:

On the morning meeting with the guys. We had both Wayne and Calvin pop in briefly. Most of the morning session, Dustin and I were working on his code to auto increment these huge RFID tag numbers. Basically, you start with a huge 24 digit and/or character tag and then increment just the tail end. It has tons of zeros, alpha/numeric values, and an incremental portion. We spent a lot of time going over the sub loops and loops within loops. We got it and it seems to be working great.

Around 11 am (ish), Steve was showing us some cartoons about a dog. Anyways, Kat, Danny's wife, was telling Danny (one of our sales guys and label developers) that adilas was kinda like a dog. You tell it to go and do something, and it tries to go and do it. Anyways, Danny took this idea and worked with a guy from his church and came up with some fun cartoon dog images. Really fun. The artist's name is Naters Art from the Salida, CO area. Adilas is the word Salida spelled backwards. Kinda fun. Anyways, Naters came up with some great images of this dog, rolling over, with a bone, searching, and tilting it's head. The developers on the morning meeting were saying that they could see some of these images being used as icons while waiting, searching, success messages, error messages, info messages, etc. Lots of good laughs. See attached for a screen shot.

11 am -  meeting with Gene Spaulding with the SAL Management Group. GoToMeeting

We started out the demo and meeting with letting Gene show us around in his spreadsheets and what was connected to what. Really cool and he has taken things to a huge and super deep level. Steve and Gene were able to briefly talk about how both of them started at the spreadsheet level and then eventually grew out of that and into a database type technology like adilas. Good stuff.

One of the main pages that they had was titled - Census and Roster - who is where and what is what (simplified operational and accounting data). This fed the rest of the reports and pages.

Steve - what would be mission critical for you guys? They answered that it was the census and roster reports (getting data into the system). Simple screen to gather that information and then disperse it as needed.

They do have a 3rd party that does all of the onboarding platform stuff. All the paperwork, contract stuff, legal stuff, etc.

They have looked at some of the big huge platform applications out there... they are kinda looking for something smaller and maybe more custom. We did a demo and I think it went pretty well. I had Dave Forbis and Steve on the call with me. They had a controller and head manager on the call. Good back and forth and we had some fun.
