I thought the start script was a perl script?  Maybe it doesn't have
the .pl, but dang it, you know what I meant ~:^)

OMG, more meetings?  Sigh, OK.

Well, let me put it this way, if these apps were working, people
wouldn't have to be going off creating spreadsheets themselves in order
to sort out who's using what, like John Keiffer recent did.

I've never gotten an email telling me my reservation is about to
expire, have you?  As far as I can tell, it's supposed to do that, but
it doesn't work.  As far as I can tell.

The reservation program uses some sort of flash that at least one of my
browsers can't run.  That's two things wrong with it right there.
There's no reason on earth it should use flash, and I shouldn't have to
jump around to different browsers, plugins, until I find one that works.

We have no configuration app currently, nor anything that even calls
itself that.  It's all da-noggin, as Dave mentioned.

No, I'm not talking about having all this magic tomorrow, I'm just
trying to come up with a plan, a roadmap, so that we can head in the
right direction and eventually have something cool.

Cheers,

a
