Saturday Musings – A Smile On My Face

I’m typically a positive sort of individual and recently I’ve had even more reason than normal to have a smile on my face. Is it the fact that the next Bladerunner movie is coming out soon? As good as that will be (fingers crossed) it’s not that. So what’s got me so upbeat?

For a start, after working on it for over 2 years, ParkLogic is migrating the last of our clients across to the new Next platform this week. It’s been a heck of a journey where we rebuilt our entire platform from the ground up……and yes, it’s a million times better! It also means that we will shortly be focusing on a single system rather than two (the old one and the new one) which will free up so much time for the team to continue to add value for clients.

I’ve also been working on a platform for developing websites on the fly. It evaluates, tracks and scores everything a user does on the page (leaves Analytics for dead!) and will be the basis for our next generation of ParkLogic products aimed at both the sales and development market segments. So far we have several million pieces of traffic a day moving through the system and it performs brilliantly…..so all is good and my smile is expanding!

On the weekends, Roselyn and I have been building our own website about travel, food and life in general. We’ve always wanted to do something together that involves sharing about our own life experiences. We’re having a great time writing articles, taking photos and putting some videos together. It’s been a lot of fun working with my wife and she’s a brilliant writer so go and check out lifeexplorers.club

When we went to bed last night we both reflected on the fact that our three children (who are now adults) were in their bedrooms above us. Tim happened to drop in from his travels with his job and both Sarah and Elise were home as well. It’s not often the whole family is together in the one place and it’s such an incredible blessing to have three great kids.

When you think about your own life I’m sure you have a lot to smile about as well. Whether it’s your job, business or family. If you’re struggling at the moment just remember that it’s the weekend….that has to put a smile on anyone’s face.

Have an especially great weekend.
