Kyler, my 21 month old son has decided that the computer is a pretty cool thing. During a break today I brought him down into the gaboogie dungeon and he immediately jumped on a vacant workstation and started coding rails!? For a moment I was bewildered but after a few minutes he seemed to really get in a groove and whipped up some great helpers.
Well, if he wants to work who am I to say no?
You know you are dedicated to your craft and a true geek when you voluntarily tuck yourself away in a dark basement coding on a sunny Sunday morning. Don't try this at home kids!
Mike and Dan, blasting rails. Mike is also our resident DJ. Dan does this meditative thing that helps him find his center. Whatever it is I'm not complaining, he can churn out the rails code like no one else I have ever seen.
It is truly awesome when the pieces that you have cut so carefully start to actually fit with the other pieces that you have been cutting. We have been working very hard on this project and the finish line is now in site. Another 72 hours or so and we will hand this puppy over to the designers.
A small (less than 6 more than 4) software company based in North Vancouver. We are working on some very useful and cool apps that will make any small business drool, that may be somewhat biased. Our Audio Conferencing application is live.
