Going over questions and projects. Lots of talk about normal barcodes (2D and older barcodes) vs QR codes and moving more into that direction. We are running into issues with traditional barcodes due to how much is being crammed into such a small space. Eventually, you are pushing up against limits and restrictions. We want to keep moving toward the next logical step(s). We want to virtually skate to where the puck is going to be (thinking hockey).

We also talked about sizes of corporations and how much they impact others on their servers. They may have started out as smaller entities but they have grown. They, some of our clients, are now starting to impact their neighbors (virtually on the different servers) due to their size and load that they add to the servers. We need to put our foot down, help them make the changes that are needed, and then let them know that this is what their bill will be. We have a few big dogs that are still in the shared environment, they really should be on their own or at least in a semi-dedicated environment.

There was some talks about moving data over to the deep freeze and what those costs would be. It doesn't cost much to put it over there, but it does cost to get it back out. We need to keep that in consideration.

We also talked about a current/future project called the datasource project (world building project - older code name). This would allow for multiple databases per code server. We could then mix and blend as needed on both code servers and database servers as to who services who and how many.

Our core costs have gone up, including the storage of our client's data. Costs seem to be going up across the board. We actually hurt ourselves by trying to stay the same. It's no longer the same thing. We need to adapt.
