If you’d like to learn more, let’s go to lunch! I’m happy to listen to what you have on your mind and see how else we can help your organization.

Its only been a few weeks since AirPlay rocketed past 11,000 members and now here we are at 12,000 artist and record label accounts.

What makes AirPlay Direct different from myspace, iTunes, and all the other websites you can purchase or stream music from?

AirPlay Direct’s target audience is radio stations, not the general public.

AirPlay encourages artists to reach the general public by posting music and band information on myspace, iTunes, and related sites. Artists can link to such websites from their Free AirPlayDirect.com artist page and vice versa. AirPlay Direct is geared towards the thousands of radio stations listening to and downloading broadcast quality music. We’re not targeting the millions of general public audio listeners.

AirPlay works to connect independent artists with radio stations and broadcasters around the world.

Delta Systems helps a myriad of charitable organizations throughout Columbia mostly in a computer-related fashion. We’re proud and excited to have the opportunity to expand our helpful ways into volunteer leadership roles.

The new Missouri Court Appointed Special Advocate Association Website (MOCASA) is live.

The new website was built to help Missouri CASA to make news, events, and information publicly accessible. They will be able to easily publicize their news to the web and promote the 20 programs they have across Missouri.

The Missouri CASA’s goals are:

“… to improve the lives of abused and neglected children in Missouri by promoting the development, expansion, and improvement of CASA programs statewide”

You can see the new Missouri CASA website by visiting http://www.mocasa.net.

Delta Systems provided coding, layout, and design advice while most graphics came from CASA.

We have instantiated “Virtual Tuesdays” here at Delta Systems. No, we do not agree that going completely virtual is the wave of the future.  However, we do agree that gas prices are too high and that working from home (or out and about) affords some focused time to crank out some work or provide some fresh perspective.

One of our developers happened to be in Lakota this morning and sent in this report. . .

So, I went into Lakota as I normally do on Tuesday mornings and fired up my laptop to find that their Internet was offline. Then, I overhear the owner on the phone with CenturyTel exclaiming: “2 days! This is killing us! No one will stay here without Internet!”

Not wanting to abandon my favorite coffee shop, I suggested that we ask Leigh from Main Squeeze if he could piggy-back on her wireless signal for a few days. About 45 minutes and 2 DD-WRT routers later, they’re back online and I have free coffee. Sweet.

Sweet indeed.

Recently the District Director of Congressman Hulshof’s office contacted us for assistance with some computer hardware issues.

Thanks to all of you.  It works!!!!  You have saved the day and acheived super hero status in my book!

The new website for the Iyengar Yoga Association of the United States (IYNAUS) is now online.

http://www.iynaus.org

The new site was put online in stages. The first module to go live was the online invoice payment system. Second, a yoga teacher locator was put online so potential yoga students could find studios in their geographical area. Next, an online store was put up with a completely custom shopping cart and order fulfillment system since this member organization has products sourced from the United States and India and specifically wants to provide items to members (as a benefit of membership) and not necessarily the general public.

Future modules will involve online assessment and certification for different teaching levels.

More about IYNAUS

The Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States — IYNAUS — disseminates the teachings of B. K. S. Iyengar and his family. IYNAUS.org, the official website of IYNAUS, is your source for news and information about Iyengar Yoga, whether you’re a newcomer, an established student or a teacher.

How Delta Systems Helped

Delta Systems developed the member management system, online store, and online membership payment system. Delta is hosting the site as well. Content was provided by the IYNAUS board of directors and site design was done by a third party.
