These last few months have seen some more improvements coming to the Trackhobbs system. As more use cases come up and more new users start in organizations we're able to uncover needed features and enhancements.

Slow and steady progress continues on the Trackhobbs system. This month there have been some handy feature improvements.

Over the last year I have been asked many times what it would take to allow organizations to bring their own merchant account. It was a good idea whose implications were complex enough that asking about it might have been a good way to nerd snipe me.

Based on what I have been gathering from current and prospective users of the system there are a lot of exciting new features coming soon.

The Livermore AOPA Fly-in is just a few days away and I have been busy getting ready for months. I'm excited to find pilots I can help with the management of their airplanes. The work to prepare for the Livermore fly-in started all the way back in January.
