I’m really happy about this.

Basecamp, the tool that we use to collaborate with our clients now has a mobile version that’ll work across a number of smart phones.

Could be the best business book of the year… well at least the most amusing.

One of our clients, Contiki, started building their product back in 1962.. nearly 50 years ago. Their founder, John Anderson, recently released a book telling his story of how we built one of Australia’s most popular travel brands titled, Only Two Seats Left, which we’re all looking forward to reading. From what we’ve heard from our colleagues there… it was quite an adventure.

Introducing RailsDeveloper a platform for developers like ourselves to collect, share, and recommend resources to one another.

RailsDeveloper aims to become the leader in knowledge about the demographics, growth, interests, and best practices of the Rails community. We want to connect people with the community so that they don’t feel so isolated. Many developers work in a vacuum and rely on online resources for growing their skill-set. We sought to give Rails developers a place to ask for help, and inviting enough to help others. We want to do our part in making it intuitive and exciting to share useful resources with the rest of the community.

Congrats to Kongregate (one of our past clients) on their continued success and recognition!

“It’s no use spending time, money, or effort to entice people into a product or service if it just leads to a bad experience. Why? Because those people you carefully encouraged and nudged into your circle? They go right back into the cloud, spreading the news about their bad experience.”

To-do list + RPG = clever spin on doing chores. iPhone app coming soon.

While working on a project, Carlos asked Gary what Ham meant in English town names. A google search and a few minutes later, we came across the answer.

“ham or tun meaning ‘homestead’ and ‘farmstead’ respectively”
