0606 - Summary/Objective
0607 -
060701 - Ann said UP/R called her the other day. They want to develop a
060702 - pay back program, including my entering a stipulated judgement. This
060703 - would include an agreement to waive interest payments, per their
060704 - letter the other day, ref DRP 1.
060705 -
060706 - I asked her about the effect of the bonding company's offer with
060707 - respect to my tax situation. She said it has no effect until we
060708 - actually reach agreement, and so for tax purposes, I should continue
060709 - to carry the interest charges, as an accrued obligation.
060710 -
060711 - Ann asked for my ideas relative to UP/R's proposal.
060712 -
060713 - I explained I do not have a "day job" and have no assets at the
060714 - present time which would support a pay back schedule, and this was
060715 - disclosed to UP/R late last year at their request.
060716 -
060717 - This is consistant with the court's finding that I did not, and was
060718 - actually too "unreasonable" and unstable to, follow project bid
060719 - plans.
060720 -
060721 - Not-with-standing that finding, perhaps eminating from it, I have
060722 - invented a software technology called POIMS and developed a program
060723 - to apply it called SDS. These creations apply the same intellec-
060724 - tual material used to reach conclusions from the Pier 11 bid plans,
060725 - and so as a result, may be beyond the reach of the market place.
060726 -
060727 - POIMS connects people, their knowledge and ideas. It links
060728 - planning to performance and reporting in an elegant continu-
060729 - um that significantly enhances productivity in the work
060730 - place by among other things recycling our most important
060731 - resource: knowledge and ideas. Additionally it instantly
060732 - links the present to the past and the future. Thus, as the
060733 - name suggests, POIMS unleashes the creativity in each of
060734 - us.
060735 -
060736 - POIMS and SDS could easily return to UP/R and anyone else who cared
060737 - to touch it, significant earnings well beyond my indebtedness. But
060738 - as with the testimony in Welch v. State, the light may be too bright
060739 - and so strikes fear in those who must judge.
060740 -
060741 - With such prospects, it is not possible to evaluate whether this
060742 - product will become a commercial success. Most of those who have
060743 - seen it say it is great, but too complicated. This of course is
060744 - false. SDS simplifies a complicated business environment. Its true
060745 - shortcoming is that it is demanding. It does not succumb nor
060746 - respond to anger or praise, but silently provides an environment
060747 - where questions can be formulated that give rise to solutions.
060748 -
060749 - My current objective is to commence marketing in earnest within the
060750 - next month or so. I am presently creating an on-line help feature
060751 - which is about 20% complete. A logo is being created. Sales
060752 - efforts will initially be directed toward markets like construc-
060753 - tion, law, government procurement, and R&D that deal with a wide
060754 - variety of facts and organizations, and have a need for good records
060755 - of performance. There are 4 test sites evaluating the program, IBM,
060756 - San Diego Water Authority, Seawest, and several individuals.
060757 -
060758 - I explained my concern about entering into any agreement that would
060759 - eliminate resources needed to finance marketing. I suggested
060760 - following up on my discussion with Ed Traille last August, of giving
060761 - us another year to commercialize this thing.

060767 - Ann will discuss this with UP/R and let me know their thinking.
