    Not much new this past week, just steaming along towards deadline. Everyone's happy so far, doing their things, process is moving along. Tasks Update Platform - My last post pondered the consequences of extending the deadline for MVP before the CIO comes back, and here we are a little over a...

    Couple weeks since my last update. Strap in, this one's gonna be long, but there's some great stuff here. Tasks Update MIT - Didn't have Skype with the MIT guy. Instead, actually went down to MIT and had a 2 hour brainstorming session with a top Ph.D. from a top university. So awesome! He ran...

    When you ask how I got clients, are you referring to consulting I've done before this project, or how did we get the clients we have now? How we got the clients we have now is the easier question to answer - mostly through my partner's connections. As I said in a previous post, he's very good...

    Sorry for the delay on this post. I've been pretty busy (we have a couple deadlines coming up), but I wanted make sure I responded to you. I do, quite a bit, which is exactly the reason I'm not taking the top spot. I'll explain. After researching the topic quite a bit, I decided our natural...

    Well, it's been a busy week. Working on technical stuff, while trying to work on adminstrative stuff, while trying to work on vision and direction, while working on maintaining relationships, while trying to get enough sleep, while........yeah, you get the idea.

    EXECUTION 
    I just checked my posting history, and I see that I haven't posted on here in over a year. That was something that surprised me because I've occasionally come back from time to time during that year so that I could lurk, read things and hopefully gain some cool insights that people on this forum...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Not NO math, just not as much as most people think. ;) In most business programming, the math is constrained to something a 10th grader can usually do. If you want to learn for the sake of learning, I'd say go for it - you seem to have pretty good logic (especially if you're working with...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I'm with you on this, buddy. I've been programming for a total of about 30 years now, and as SOON as I get the chance, I'm outsourcing all the programming work I'm doing right now. Eventually, I'm even going to hire someone to take over the management of my offshoring team. Emphasis mine. This...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    My personal input, so take it with a grain of salt. I know over 20 programming languages, most of them I'm "fluent" in, but for the life of me I can't seem to learn more than a few phrases of any other human language besides English. The thing to know in programming is logic, because...

    Using Slowlane skills to start Fastlane business

    EXECUTION SLOWLANE 
    Forgot a 7th "to-do": 7. INVESTIGATE MY COMPETITION How could I forget that? It's one of those things that's so simple and pervasive that I don't even think about doing it, it just gets done. :p

    Hi, ho, hi, ho It's been more than a week since my last update. I've been working pretty much nonstop and as much as I enjoy posting and reading here, it was taking too much time away from building my business so I'm trying my best to keep it to a minimum. At this point, my day looks like this...

    Don't be a company that SUCD, or, how to lose a customer in 30 minutes

    PEOPLE 
    Let's count the ways this was terribly handled, shall we? Take forever to get back to you the first time Take forever to get back to you the SECOND time Made you wait while they performed an "internal investigation" (all customers think this phrase is nothing but BS) about their bad food Don't...

    Using Slowlane skills to start Fastlane business

    EXECUTION SLOWLANE 
    Finally found a competitor, but after some research I found nothing to worry about. People think this competitor is just "ok" but they use it because there's nothing else out there that does what they want. A lot of people have enhancement requests and because this space has so few competitors...

    EXECUTION SLOWLANE 
    Didn't want to work last night, but I forced myself to do it anyway. I only got 2 hours of work in before my computer slowed down to the point of unusability, and I got so fed up that I used my last 45 minutes to watch a documentary on FDR. On a positive note, I've negotiated a huge amount of...
