Sir Chrisalot and the Reports Dragon

This is the story of the brave knight Sir Chrisalot who vanquished the foul and vile dragon called Reports from the land of Mutiny!

The Queen of the land, the fairest of them all, our beloved Queen Merleesa summoned our hero to her palace.  Upon arrival, the court marveled at the astutefulness, intelligence, and utter heroism of our knight Chrisalot.  The Queen, upon beholding our hero knight, lost all sense of mind and could not think of what to say – and promptly ordered his head chopped off. 

Fortuitous for all, she soon regained her composure and remembered why she had summoned the knight and saved us from a rather short and abrupt ending.

She then spoke…   “Sir Chrisalot wilt thou heretofore vanquish the evil and foul dragon Reports from our beloved land of Mutiny?”

Our hero Sir Chrisalot did thus kneel and swear to his Queen that he would utterly vanquish and dispose of the dragon Reports.  Oh what a joyous day it was when our hero did thus defeat the vile dragon and bring peace, harmony and prosperity to the land.

CrowsNest Survey & Assessment System

A quick update on the CrowsNest Survey & Assessment System.

Development is coming along nicely, and we are looking to launch for our first client towards the first week in May.  The initial launch will be for them only, as the assessment features and functionality have been developed around their requirements. This initial version will include only the assessment portion of the system.

Soon after this private launch, we will be adding in the survey and poll portions, then doing a public launch.  We are soooooo excited to get this up and running and available publicly!

We do have the website up for CrowsNest, at www.mw-crowsnest.com.  The website indicates a mid-2009 launch, which is what we are targeting for.  Please feel free to take a gander around the website, and let us know if you have any questions or comments.
