Elevate Yourself
We're going to have to redesign the logo - Liam thinks it doesn't look so good on the website, and so do I.

Board Meeting #006 Wednesday 5th May
Thank you so much, Mr Smale and Mr Yeo!
The board meeting was invaluable because of your brilliant ideas!
Tom, you don't know what you missed out on.
Minutes will be emailed around tomorrow (just got back from a restaurant).
Thank you also for reading the blog, even if you don't comment on it!

Website Progress - Almost Finished
Liam wants to know when we're getting web hosting.
The plan, Mr Smale and Mr Yeo, is for Tom and I's Thursday board meeting to result in a brand name and thus a website name. We will present it at the board meeting Wednesday next week.

Website Progress - Incredible
My wishes of well-being are extended to Mr Smale, Mr Yeo and Mr Vinicombe (aka. Ripper),
v1.0b1 of e-Novate (or perhaps, e-Loci) may now be installed!
In order for it to be installed, I must give him the link to my cPanel account, and the login details therefor (this comes from purchasing web hosting).
Below is his message (copied and pasted):
"Now, I want to make this clear: e-Novate is NOT FINISHED. Opening shop right now would be very unwise. (There is a certain benefit to releasing software in this state, but it takes a company that is self-producing and knows their stuff.)
This is what is known in the software industry as a "Beta version" (specifically, this is the first beta: that is what the "b1" stands for in the version name). This means that it is relatively bug-free and pretty much every feature has been coded in, but there are still some possible problems that we don't know about yet (and occasionally, some new features are needed).
So, what do you do with this? You test it. Perhaps you could invite 1 or 2 company insiders to help you (do not invite a whole bunch of people). Then, by the 30th of April, tell me what you think. I'll implement any changes you ask for (although I'll voice concern if they are unrealistic or not in your best interests)."
As you can see, we are making considerable progress as a team, with input from company directors, teachers, mentors and unofficial advisors (Liam Ogle)!

Website Screenshots 2
Screenshots received some time in the holidays. Liam has indicated that the next time he emails me with screenshots, they will be ready to be uploaded to our website domain.
Thank you for commenting and checking on our progress, Mr Yeo!
Tom: we'd better make some rapid advancements on choosing the website name! Furthermore, when the brand name is finalised, the business cards can be finished.
Also: well done on the market research you've done so far.

Enovate Blog Administration
Being technologically illiterate has issues:
I don't know what powers I have as an administrator;
I don't even know if I am an administrator;
I'm following the blog as two seperate identities

Greetings to the Directors and Parties with Interest in the Entity of Enovate
Hello Tom, Bryce, Mr Smale, Mr Yeo and Miss Wright,
The purpose of this blog is to act as a continuous unofficial board meeting for which ideas are continually preserved, and which I don't need to take notes for.
