Dave's Productivity

Now I know why my OLS colleague Dave Bergert is so productive: the quad-core processor in his brain is hovering over all those machines dividing up his work cycles so that he's coding transaction simulators on one device, fixing production problems on another, chatting with me on Skype on a third, setting up PABP Audit environments on a fourth, doing jPOS commits on a fifth...

jPOS Created Here

That's the desktop where the world's best payment systems infrastructure gets created.  I'm grateful to play a role in the world Alejandro has created.

In other news, it looks like we'll top 5,000 store locations today - or, by latest, next Tuesday - at our flagship OLS.Switch installation.  It's been a long time getting those 1,800 new stores on-boarded, but our client got some serious momentum over the last couple of months.  The last store gets converted on Friday, May 30th.

Now featured on Glenbrook's Payment News

Glenbrook Partners' excellent Payment News site now features a new page that provides its readers a "current summary of the latest content from some of our favorite payments and banking blogs based upon their RSS feeds."  Dave, Alejandro and I appear on the list.  Our thanks to Glenbrook's Scott Loftesness, who put out the call and compiled the list.

Hello, Cracow

Part of what motivates my blog-writing is the readership I get from around the world.  Thanks so much for your interest. 

One reader - or group of readers - holds some special interest at the moment: those from Cracow, Poland.  My OLS colleague, Dave Bergert, will be in Cracow from late June through mid-July.  He'd love to meet up while there with anyone interested in chatting about jPOS, payment systems, and specifically payment systems security.  Though the last topic is Dave's specific area of expertise, he's done a wide range of payment systems projects, both issuer- and acquirer-side, and is a great resource.  To set something up, you can contact Dave here.
