I'm not making this up



Recent feedback from the front lines. These are from users working with the software daily.

Think about the fact that we are in over 60 countries with no dedicated support staff and we get a steady stream of this kind of feedback. This should be encouraging as we push through the load of work and challenges that we are now facing.

Doing a job well is much more engaging than doing a job.

Midwest:

As I usually send you requests regarding problems, I thought I would mix it up a bit. I love the changes to the import module! It is much easier to use.

Thanks!

West Coast:
The painful learning curve has paid off (mostly). I got another chunk of data today and was able to (mostly) already do the prelimiary analysis! I did add a second sample to the existing individuals and it was fine.

I am so thrilled that I just sent out an email with a big summary file of these results- when things work with progeny, they are GREAT.

anyhow,
thanks!


East Coast:

Great! After changing the names of CHP files, now I can also import the genotypes into Progeny.
Sorry for so many questions as I am a new user. Fortunately, I think I almost work well with Progeny. Thank you very much.

If you want to know the accounts let me know. I don't like to publish the names.

Big Fish

They say that a good fisherman never has two bad days in a row.

Great job on the work done yesterday and today on the recovery. I looked over the installation and reviewed all the items for the beta and it looks very clean.

The assist goes to QA on getting everything reviewed. It was a huge week for QA in general.

Breathing Fire


In Dreaming in Code there was a theory that to build great software there has to be somebody who is breathing fire into it...in a ferocious way.

What would happen if everybody was breathing fire into it?
