Work continues

February was spent mainly on the infrastructure work mentioned in the previous post. Our intern Sheldon and staff member Jacques from Quebec are doing a great job helping. For the technically inclined, they're writing automated tests and refactoring large pieces of code into a library that we can share amongst all our apps. I continue to oversee the process and help when necessary.

I've learned from this process the benefit of distributing work, and I think gained some experience in how to break down a big job into clear pieces that other people can work on. It came down to about 10-20% of the work being to set up the rest of it, the rest of it being more mechanical and straighforward. Once I worked with Sheldon and Jacques to get that first part down, the rest of it they're continuing without as much direct help, and making good progress.

I've heard some stories about ministry going on at Mac -- mainly, I've heard about lots of spiritual interest and chalking KGP -- "Knowing God Personally" on various classroom chalk boards to gain interest. One of the Mac staff was saying that it's generating some good momentum with the students involved.
