Lack Of Content

I have to apologize for the lack of new content over the past few weeks, we have been very busy working on new and existing projects.

Here is a quick update for you on our various projects:

1. Our not-yet-disclosed project has reached a small snafu, because the three programmers working on it did not complete it during the summer. All three programmers are now working to finish the integration efforts while they are attending college full time. This will not be an easy task.

2. The winner of our Lubbock Chamber of Commerce auction, Aycock & Fowler Insurance Agency, needs a website for their new health insurance program which will be targetted at members of the Texas Association of Builders. More information about their website is forthcoming.

3. Our move to our new location is currently underway, and we hope to be at the new location no later than September 11. Thanks to Mike Lamberts and Tristan Thoma for their hardwork from Lamberts Properties.

4. I did a lot of checking around about cheaper group health insurance for our company. After wages and rent, it's our third largest single expense, costing more than $800 for our small group, every month. There are few deals to be found in health insurance, and after a few weeks of research, it appears that we would either need a larger group or individual health insurance to save money. We went with an HSA plan from FirstCare.

5. The Lubbock Children's Health Clinic contacted us about their new locations (at 1301 Redbud Avenue, in East Lubbock, and a not-yet-disclosed University location). They are desirous of software and hardware to get up and running at the locations, including an Electronic Medical Record system and a Physician Management System. We put together a very thorough analysis of the costs involved in thick-client, hosted, and open-source software. I will share the results of the analysis at a later date.
