One of the great things about this new endeavor are the amazing resources that I am surrounded with. Today I met and talked with a software architect who is in the process of getting his MBA from the University of Chicago, and is changing his role here in the office. While finishing his degree by April, he will be focusing more of his energies on the growing number of new business start ups that are here in the office… including Headstand.
As Headstand moves forward, I am so excited to be able to provide solutions to our customers in virtually any technology… we have the freedom to be technology agnostic. It doesn’t matter what our new customers may need, we can do it. We can supply Microsoft classic ASP and SQL Server solutions hosted in the Windows server environment, as I had been supplying for the last 8 years at BIRKEY.COM. We can also supply “Open Source” solutions using PHP, MySQL, Java, XML, AJAX, and many more in a UNIX/LINUX server environment. We also have access to engineers who are adept at many legacy systems and languages.
The first day of having a team member here was also great. We had to do a fair amount of et up like setting up email accounts and software (We’re on an Exchange Server here), gaining network access, installing Firefox and various plugins, and more.
We had a chance to meet with Joel Hamernick, Executive Director of Sunshine Gospel Ministries to discuss that web project. It was good for Benjamin to meet him and get a little oriented with that ministry and project. We need to develop a project scope document this week.
We had lunch purchased across the street at “Pockets”… my first experience, but an old favorite for Benjamin. Not too bad.
