the Battle Continues
For over a month now we have been working in the shop with a new version of our mesh software which we believe will solve our network stability issues. Once we got the new software and began testing it we noticed that it lacked 4 features that are essential to the way users interact (signup and login) with our network. We contacted the software developers who (much to our delight) began going to work to implement the features we need. 2 of the 4 features were implemented fairly quickly and easily once the patches were ready. But the 3rd just didn’t work. So I have spent the last several days working with the developers to figure out how to make it work…..And finally…..at 1am….I figured it out…It was a pretty big deal because if we could not make it work we would have had to re-structure our entire “FREE 128″ system which has over 300 users. So now we have 3/4 of the original features need…And we can probably live for a while without the 4th one. It is just the feature that allows the automated billing system to automatically add a users mac address into in to their user profile at sign up. (in other words without it I will get a lot more support calls from users needing help because they have a dell not a mac…..ha…ha…) but I can probably live with that
