Each year, excluding last year, we tackle a technology improvement.
About a half a dozen years ago after too much coffee at a vendor related event on the West Coast yours truly came home with multiple technology improvements (New Vault, New Web site just to name a few) all at once, which turned out to be a hard lesson learned, and the team was not happy…..make darn sure the project is not too big!
New Server and Email System
In a little over a week after reviewing all of our alternatives we have decided to upgrade our server and move our cloud-based email system to a new platform.
Our IT folks have already started the process of mirroring our old server to our new one and are readying the staging of the email.
We are assured this will go without a hitch; we hope to not hear the dreaded words we have heard before …
“Wow I have not seen this before!”
The good news is we only have this project and not multiple projects as well as the hard-earned lesson of overcast caffeinated excitement.
Hopefully just steps forward and not back to go forward….
But that is a week or so away and this is a Friday almost dead middle of the summer.
Enjoy your day and your weekend …. Maybe even a little time off if the shoe fits!
Talk to you next week!

The Technology Week that was…..Are the Bulls in Trouble??
Just after pushing the send button earlier in the week about our new fancy dancy server the wheels started to wobble. Being about 90% there Monday afternoon, Tuesday we back pedaled to 20% – 30%.
Worst quote from the IT department
“I have never seen that before!”
On a good note going into the weekend we are 99% there now and running super fast and productively.
Have the Bulls given up some strength?
We think, maybe a little, but not too much…we are still skeptical of the enthusiasm, but it is too early to tell if the bears have the bulls in their cross hairs…..and it is summer!
Here is an interesting record notation from the Wall Street Journal’s Morning Money Beat
Unfortunately it doesn’t really work in a straight line as you can see the statistical rareness of the current market trend from this new record above.
Please remember, if/when the record above may be broken in the other direction (most consecutive down days) that this too may change…..
But hey…these worries are for another day far from our fun summer weekend we are all about to hit.
Have a Great Friday and a Super weekend!
