Anticipation

jessie — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 00:10:28 +0000

Our first iPhone App, Anticipation, is available in iTunes. Unfortunately there are now about a million apps that perform a similar function, but it was an original idea when we started. We just had no idea how long it would actually take to get an app into the store.

We started development in early August and the app was just released this weekend. A lot of that time was spent getting ourselves setup to actually distribute Anticipation in the App Store, a tedious process at best. Stay tuned for upcoming applications. :)

The president has landed. The tiny (actually huge) white plane in the middle is his. Pretty cool that it was right out the window of our gate.

it? Not just junk–good junk!

Why is it that…

…IKEA is the only place smart enough to put four casters on shopping carts instead of two? Being able to slide your cart sideways (and spin it in a circle, and push it forward at a 45 degree angle) is awesome! You’d think someone else would have figured this out by now, but maybe they think the average customer isn’t up to the task of handling a cart that can move easily in any direction. Wouldn’t want to convenience anyone, now would we?

Seriously though, you should check it out if you have an IKEA nearby. The novelty just doesn’t get old. :)

Site Moved - Again

We’ve updated blog engines again, this time from Typo to Wordpress. Dustin had to move our sites anyway due to a server change at our hosting company, so we decided to update to a blog that actually has active development. Let me know if you see any weirdness with the site or the RSS feed.

So I’ve been looking to get a new purse for a while now. I’m very much in love with the Seatbelt bag, but I refuse to spend $100 on a purse. I’m just too cheap. However, I’m also too picky and I didn’t really like any of the cheap purses I found.With that in mind, I set out to make myself a new purse (one that I would hopefully not be ashamed to carry in public). Here are the results, I think it came out really well, though I must say it looks better in person than on camera.

Not Exactly Five Nines

Unless, of course, you meant five nines of downtime. (For those of you who don’t know what this means, check Wikipedia here).

It appears our hosting server has had some issues lately, causing an abnormal number of reboots, and Dustin’s auto startup script for our stuff isn’t working anymore. Combine this with the fact that we don’t know the site is down unless we visit it ourselves (which you can tell from my posting history happens rarely at best), and you get random long outages.

We’re working on it and hopefully the site will stay up for more than five minutes in the future. Maybe.
