Pollis Latest

So our developers asked us to install CPanel which pretty much is a GUI for the entire server. It allows you to change permissions and enable/disable features. Sadly, at least once a week i've been getting emails from them asking to enable certain things and do this and do that.....they have root access so they can change EVERYTHING. Not to mention our logo they developed looked worse than what I did in the UMass library using free computers, my camera phone and some time to burn during the October power outage. I've asked Devin Shea of Reaction Foundry to hook me up with a professional looking logo and not something out of a Nintendo GameCube. Along with that I feel like the developers are twiddling their thumbs since they thought they were all done even though their work is subpar for "professionals". Currently I'm looking for developers who are looking to do part time work to fine tooth comb the site and make it presentable to the world.

On a side note, work at BETE is going strong, just got my 60 day review today and aside from one ridic complex project, my boss says I've been doing well. Looks like all the time spent interviewing/prepping and focusing on job fairs between September and October paid off. If you check out their site and take a look at the spiral nozzles, ask yourself how that would be made on a machine. I don't know exactly but I just finished up developing my first one for a fire suppression system. It's definitely a fun challenge.

Hopefully Pollis comes together so we can start getting live users on it, even though I do think you can sign up and add friends but nothing is going to the database to be pulled up like a live user feed.
