Tagged Alpha
We finally tagged our development system Alpha. After months of planning and coding it was beautiful to finally take a round trip through the system. Jerome and Kev have been cranking and now they get to watch while we test everything this weekend and find all the bugs. Lots of other happenings going on with the company. We finally moved into our first pseudo office space, which is part living space and part working space. We have a large room downstairs where we set up three large fold up tables in a U shape with two huge whiteboards on the wall. The entire table area is filled with monitors, iMacs, and laptops. I even set up a WDS enabled wireless network spanning from my house to the office. It really feels like a clubhouse for all of us. There’s even a kitchen downstairs and a bathroom and shower for those long hot nights of work. As another bonus, the team is starting a group fitness program as we have all been putting so many hours in that we are getting out of shape. I think that mental and physical health is integral to productivity. I hope this means I can get back on my surfboards soon.
We can finally see our Beta launch date in the near future and should be finalizing our roadmap and schedule this weekend. I feel that we are at the starting line and just waiting to pull the trigger on the start gun. Once out of the blocks there is no going back as we will set off a series of dependencies for our launch.
We had a really nice dinner with some of our seed round investors at last week. Much thanks to everyone who has supported us so far. Since we are still in stealth mode, I will have to name them in a later post.
