Its Monday 23rd July and Ashley and Kirrily are starting their 5th week working on Navsports. Ash is dropping back to three days per week this week because of other work commitments but we may possibily be getting an assistant programmer(Glen), recommended by Uwe (project manager).
Kirrily is ahead on design but engineering the software is taking longer than expected, Uwe assures me that we are making good time. I am not sure as November is b day. Birth of our first child and I promised Michelle that I would not have anyone working from our house by that time.
I forgot to mention that I set up work stations in our rumpus room for the team to work in, I did not want to go back to what the situation was before, having the old team work as contactors just led to wasted money and time. In this enviroment managing the team is so much more productive and professional.
So what is Navsports about, well its a sports news aggregation site, multi sports club directory and social friends networking site. You might think that their are plenty of these sites around, there are sites that cater to this market but Navsports is 3 years worth of research and development and will be the most comprehensive sports networking site in the world. Already we have over 14,000 clubs listed and growing and we are only in beta mode.
Hardest thing is coming up with the funding to keep the project going (good segway), actually on Wednesday I will be having a meeting with a venture capitalist broker. Should be interesting.
Well I better go do some work, I have the MTA to run Navsports to run and a babies room to start preparing. bye for now.
