Its been a while ...

Its been a while since i have posted a message. The reason for this is i have been extremely busy with work as we have a tough implementation period which required a few late nights and some weekends. I dont mind this though, as we recieve time in LIU and 2 days for a weekend. This allows me to take this time of in a straight 1 week or 2 week stint and get alot of work done.
Aside from this the startup is heading towards completion, we have done it cheaply, we have made small steps over a period of about a year and i am pretty pleased with what we have now. I have said this for a while (i know) but things get in the way sometimes such as family (ie helping, parents and siblings etc) and other responsibilities that seem to creep up, but thats life and as paul graham has said, be relentlessly resourceful and dont let the situation get the better.
The application is about 90% completed, with this in mind what we will be doing is executing our own unit and performance testing with our hardware. Once we are happy we have a single server (not so powerful) quad 900mhz CPU 8 gig of ram to allow friends overseas and around town to test the application.
Our principle is, if we do it cheaply and with lower grade equipment once we place it on our managed server in the USA (looking at theplanet at the moment) we should be alright.
Thats about it for now.
