Weeknote 214
I was a bit afraid i had to write another “almost there..” this weeknote but not so! This past week Liz & Vic launched into private beta during the Amsterdam International Fashion week. The second batch of invites has just gone out and the reviews of the goodie bag gifts has been positive. After more than a year’s involvement in this project i’m quite glad we now actually have something to show for it. Even if i will only be able to give invites to to the feminine part of my potential client base :)
This past week also saw the launch of the new Sandwich_ website, i’m especially pleased with the shop finder we created from scratch using the Google Maps API and the nice fallbacks for non-flash browsers (read; iPad). A nice little project that we’ll spend some time tweaking over the coming weeks.
With those two projects launched i find myself with a bit more time to spend on fresh.li again, and i guess i’ll need to start looking out for new interesting projects come february/march.
/dev/haag turned out really well. Seems we’ve managed to get a kick ass organizing team together. We got some great speakers and i think we creates a nice open and relaxed atmosphere. I hope we’ll see a few people return for the next event which is due the 25th of february. Do sign up for the next event, that we can keep you posted on the latest concerning speakers and other news.
Moving pictures: this week was dedicated to Misfits, a very british SF comedy on some delinquents and a rather nasty electrical storm.
Printed letters: lost quite a few hours of sleep at night being immersed in The Atrocity Archives, the wacky spy/necromancer stories by SF favorite Charles Stross. It’s sort of a smart version of the BBC series Torchwood (if i was pushed to label it).
