What's going on here? Lack of updates = busy as heck..

Just wanted to toss out a quick post to let all that are keeping track with our blog what is going on and why there are a lack of posts lately.

It's in one word.. BUSY!

Cripes, it's crazy how much FMS work is rolling in. It seems like everybody and their mom and their mom's dog is doing something with FMS. I know that a few other fellow FMS devs are really busy too and we always just sit back in amazement at the pure demand there is out there.

First up we finished up a really cool site for SignOnVRI. This site uses a very very custom Flash application for sign language translators to translate for the deaf that need translating for classes etc. We were very lucky to get this contract I think because it really showed how truly powerful FMS and Flash and a database is. No longer requiring remoting for server side stuff is really nice.. This site comes with a very advanced administration area that allows administrators to monitor who is translating for who and when and if there are open meetings, new clients etc etc. Being that it is all built on FMS, the updates to the admin area are live meaning there is no polling the database for new data! It just updates. Beautiful stuff, this has got to be one of only times I've really sat back and just felt amazed at what can be done.

I still feel like we are only scratching the surface though..

On a more fun note, we just finished up Cultus Lake Waterpark's site! If you don't know what park this is (if you live in the lower mainland or even on the west coast of North America, you probably do) I can explain :) It's B.C.'s #1 waterpark, and it now has B.C.'s #1 waterpark site! :D

Anyways, it was fun to make something like that. Nothing really exciting going on just yet, but we definitely see plans being put together for a phase 2 and in there will be some pretty cool video.

Not to even mention the other projects going on at the same time.. lots of fun going on here! Just need more time in one day..

To the Ask an FMS GURU people, thanks for the emails! I'll be replying as fast as I can after this post (I know of at least 2 that will go up today)
