Oh nice!! That's awesome, Bekah. What is the "YT" though? All I can think of is YouTube, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. 😀
You were right! I updated it.
Gotcha! I totally misread "short" as "shirt" yesterday too which tripped me up, haha! 😅

This past week, I went skiing in Telluride, Colorado! ⛷
Here's a pic of me and my wife on a path that kinda wraps around the town.
And another one of us going up the gondola!
Aw, lovely to see you and your wife, Michael! 💞 I have not heart about Telluride before but I have heard about Colorado! It always makes me happy to see a happy couple 😊
Awesome ⛷️

After 18 months of hard graft, building a team from scratch and starting a brand new architecture to meet client needs, we released SFG20 Facilities-iQ this week.
In the UK, SFG20 represents the industry standard for maintaining buildings to reduce risks, prevent injury and death as well as increased energy efficiency and lowered maintenance costs. The standard itself began 30 years ago and evolves every month as law and best practice change.
We all live and work in buildings, often many of those are owned by someone else. After the Grenfell Tower disaster (the London tower block fire that claimed more than 70 lives), British law was updated to increase the onus on building owners and managers to properly maintain assets to ensure safety. This is a nightmare for many as they often outsource the work and are not on top of the details of what is being planned and what is being executed. Providers of services struggle to differentiate the work that they are doing from their competitors - resulting in a race to the bottom. No more...
Facilities-iQ represents a step change in how SFG20 can be applied, a modern platform to plan maintenance and track its performance. A system that can tailor SFG20 to the exact requirements of a facility.
I've personally built a lot of this product, I was delighted to have a chance at this stage in my career to innovate something generally good for the world and not another corporate tool or social gimmick.
I'm immensely proud of the work my team and I have done, creating an amazing scalable, loosely coupled architecture at both the front and back ends. It's enabled us to move very fast indeed.
Wow, Mike!! Major congrats to you and your team on all of this. 🙌
I appreciate the way you summed up some of the specialist knowledge around SFG20 that you need to know about to work on all this. It sounds like through the creation of this app, you have learned so dang much about the standards and regulations for buildings in the UK.
I actually lived in an old cottage in a wee village called Carlops in Scotland for a good 4 years while my wife was studying to be a veterinarian in Edinburgh. Something that I appreciated while living over there was the renovation of all these old buildings, but I imagine it can be quite a challenge. It's cool to learn a little bit about how this all works!
Just to say, I can totally see the value in what you all have created here and y'all should be super proud. Hope ya enjoy your weekend and celebrate your achievements! 😀
Continued learning Java, the goal is to make fun little games. Not for profit, just a hobby. 🕹️
And I also began working on a small basic template. So I can finally have a website. 😅
Awesome, you are super productive! You can do it! ✨ I hope to see your games and website soon!
