Memorial Day…

Well, it’s here everyone!  The unofficial start to summer.  And as I look out the window here at the CG World HQ, I find it to be a spectacular day!  No better way to start summer than bright sunshine and warm temperatures.  Here’s hoping the day finds you happy to see the sun, too!  And while you’re at it, go thank a veteran for all he/she has done for us. 

I got an email yesterday, asking me how the bowling season went.  Yeah, I’ve neglected updates here as the winter went on…so many of you have been inadvertently kept in the dark.  My teams made the roll-offs on each night I bowled, and I took high average in my class for my Wednesday night league.  I hit my first 400 in over 25 years, too…and damn near had two others.  So, I’m very happy with the way things have progressed. 

Happily, new centers and upgraded features will be added to CG 2.0.  You’ll see the bowling alleys at Holyoke Turn Verein Hall when the new website is published this summer.  And we’ve finally found a good mapping service that embeds into websites (Google Maps seems to be the best) and works for CANADIAN addresses!  That’s a major upgrade for Google…reliable Canadian results have been a problem in the past.  We do, however, have a ways to go with the site.  The initial coding is done (meaning the layout of the pages is set).  It’s the detailed stuff that’s going to bog development down.  And we’ve got 154 centers to convert to a new picture gallery system, too. 

And on that note, I’m ending my coding and beginning my outside time!  Have a great holiday everyone!
