Sam Kidd's thoughts on business

Just came across these guys on YouTube and sadly it makes me want to buy one. If you do a search of them they blend 50 marbles in another video which is very impressive as well. (how sad am I) Still it's impressive to see companies using new media like YouTube to sell new products. I'm getting a new DVD cam as a christmas present from one of our supplies so might start uploading loads of my own videos soon. So watch this space.

You can find out more about this product from here.

It's been a very long weekend here. A project that I have been working on now for 5 years is really starting to move along again. It's getting all the excitement back that I had towards it a long time ago. It was great to have a weekend working away with the guys. It's cool watching them code away and trying to help out with problems and coming up with new methods for doing things.  It's also great to have such a long period just working on the project and as a team again. Working away by yourself is never as much fun. We ended up working from 10am to 4:30 am on Saturday then were up early Sunday for a presentation of it at 12pm.

I think the presentation went really well and it was great for everyone to see all the working really starting to come together. There is still alot of work to do but we are really close now to running the first pilot. It will hopefully be sometime next week. 

I'm looking forward to seeing what people think of it as well. Dan and I are working on the website at the moment, well when I say we are working on it I mean I sit there while Dan works away bloody hard and I just nag him about things that I want in. Still we have worked well like this before and we still talk to each other most of the time so it seems to work.

I will look forward to hearing what you all think of the site once it is done and also being able to explain what the project is for those who aren’t in the small loop.
