7:50AM - 5:01PM (9 Hours 10 Minutes)
7:59AM
I'm going into a meeting with another company with the ERP to see what their costing is going to be just to do a comparison and that will tell me whether we're going to go with the company or if we're going to have to hire a subcontractor to meet the budget.
8:00AM
This company is called IndictransTech. I've seen they've built quite a few apps in Frappe's store there. Anyway, it's starting now, so I'm going to join the Google meeting.
8:06AM
Oh, I guess the timelines got mixed up, because they're in India, but tomorrow they scheduled it for Friday, not Thursday, so anyways, okay, I guess I'm working on the ERP today, or at least on the documentation.
9:08AM
Working on this documentation, I'm just creating some little tools to help me organize things a little bit better.
10:09AM
I'm still working on the ERP, I'm just adding another function here that makes it easier for me to manage what pages are automatically included. Reusing page content is what I mean.
10:26AM
All right, so I just built a couple tools, custom tools to extend the functionality of Bookstack. I like them a lot. So one of them that I did yesterday was a footnotes editor so I could do like footnotes and built it into the editor to make it easier, so it saves me time. Then I did another one that adds the page ID to the details so that I can see the page ID a little bit easier if I want to include content from another page. And then I created another one, and then the last tool that I just made was reuse page content, CSS, and what you see is what you get, editor tool, which just styles the, because in Bookstack you can include content from another page, which saves you from rewriting it over and over, and that way if you just change it in one area, it automatically reflects on all the pages, so it's like dynamically included, which is super cool. The only thing is, in the current page that you're editing, it just shows it as text, like if you're including a whole page, it'll just have two opening squiggly brackets and then the page number, like let's say 70, and then closing, two closing squiggly brackets. So when you're editing, it's kind of like you're reading a bunch of things and then you just see squiggly squiggly at 69 or at 70, close squiggly, close squiggly, but you don't really have an idea of what you actually included, and then to find that page manually, like if I want to reference what was on that, I either have to exit out of the page and save it to view what it is, and then I have to find the section, but it kind of blends in with everything else, it becomes a little bit harder for me to see exactly what I'm editing, and so all I did is created something that outlines it in a dashed line and has a slight different background, and then I made it add a link at the top right-hand corner, and then I have a button that I click when I'm adding the link, it becomes a little bit easier, but I have a button that I click and it could actually pull the name of the page, for example, it makes...
11:30AM
Troy dropped a lot of stuff for me to do, I have to get Bruno's laptop ready, so I'm going to get that prepared, drop it off today, Sam's laptop tomorrow, and pick up the phones, he wants to pick them up today, so I'm just finishing up what I'm working on here in the ERP because I won't be able to work on it until Tuesday of next week I guess, I've got to stop everything, laptop for Bruno is going to be easy, laptop for Sam, I've got to run this laptop, it's going to be the rest of the day I'm going to have to spend on it, so I'll probably go drop off the Surface for Bruno now-ish after lunch shortly, and the laptop for Sam when I get back I'll just start playing around with it, and I have to patch a couple things that I noticed on Tony's laptop, so I need to explore that right now, I'm going to have to dry boot this one and just do some changes within the config, and then I'm going to have to reset it and reinstall everything, after the patches are done I have to look up my notes of what there was to patch because I don't remember anymore, but I'm sure I have the notes somewhere, that'll be the rest of the day, and then probably into tomorrow because by the time I get back from the office it'll probably be like 2 or 3 o'clock and I'm only going to do maybe another couple hours, I can't work another 10-12 hours today, I still have to cancel Val, but I'll do that on the drive into the office, I will also need to, oh and then for the phones, I'm going to meet with this guy today, tonight, or I guess he's going to do a walkthrough in the morning, I'm not sure, I have to cancel my appointment tomorrow with the ERP company, the second ERP company that I wanted to get an estimate from, because this will take over everything, but I just want to make sure these phones are good to go for him, and yeah I'm going to have to just make sure that they're all adopted into Intune, dry run them, set them, reset them, do whatever we got to do, I'll charge them up today so they're ready to go, and then I have to pick up...
12:32PM
I'm still working on the ERP org chart. I want to get this finished off before I do anything else.
1:33PM
I just finished, so I'm gonna start getting ready. So I did the org chart. I did the organizational chart overview. I did employee positions, department and functions, and org chart diagram. The last little bit I was working on moving the org chart diagram over into Bookstack and adding the IT department since that's gonna be needed for the permissions in the ERP as well. And yeah, so I'm gonna stop doing this now and I'm gonna get Bruno's computer ready. And... Page expired. Okay, I saved all this. Saved all of this. I'm gonna close some windows down. All right, so.
1:34PM
I'm going to go get some water and start getting the computer ready for Bruno.

I Left to go to the office and drop off this laptop a couple minutes ago. I'm just getting on the highway now and Then I'll be Fucking dump truck and then I'll be getting off The highway very soon, and I'll be in the office around 330. I'll drop this off and Then I don't think I'll have time to do anything with Sam's computer, so I'll have to do that in the morning
3:52PM
Just cancelled the bell service for the temporary line at the farm, uh, sent Justin a text message to, uh, uh, asking him to send me the return slip, uh, whenever he gets it in the email.
5:01PM
Alright, I just finished. I am leaving now. I left the computer behind for Anthony Lewis. I'm going to send him up an email and get his login working tomorrow. So that should be it. I'm going to punch out now.
