Weekly server meeting with Wayne and John

- Cory, Steve, Brandon, Sean, Wayne, and John were on the meeting

- The new WordPress site - it is getting pounded (part of the plan) - we are tuning that/this machine

- Data 0 seems to be doing better

- Brandon did build a find and replace tool - he gave a small demo of the tool

- Wayne is working on some setting stuff - part of the process will be switching between Application.cfm to Application.cfc - the .cfc allows for new methods and functions that get called on each page request

- developer.adilas.biz - Wayne is planning on using the Application.cfc stuff on that site to play and test things

- The new settings will be set in a different way

- Wayne and Alan are working on some other changes on the way the code is used and/or looked up

- Cory is good to go, quiet on the home front

- John, question on reoccurring expenses on data 33 not happening - Wayne jumped in and helped to setup some scheduled tasks

- Talking about certain servers that the contracts are no longer in force, aka, we can move those servers

- Going back to some new code changes... Changes to the developer.adilas.biz site
	- Using new classes on the Application.cfc pages - breaks things up into pieces
	- The older Application.cfm page ran from top to bottom, everytime - other than if statements
	- The new way, (.cfc) has all kinds of built-in functions such as when pages get pulled, called, requested, ended, when session starts/ends, etc. All kinds of action based actions.
	- Factoring code and refactoring some of the engineering
	- Lots of path type changes and simplifying things
	- Prepping for testing and mocking
	- watching for external services and managing those connections better
	- managing slow pages and slow queries
	- services, DAO's (data access objects), and other classes
	- where are we really headed
	- ways of skipping the database by using simple try/catch options
	- the context of the error pages and having access to the page level variables
