SotC November Style.
Another super exciting month for us here at Digital Engine Software. Ok, maybe not super exciting but marginally above average! Let’s see…beginning of the month we had our third LAN party of the year. It was a lot of fun, I got to play grownup Lego’s quite a bit (Minecraft) and Peter laughed all the way to the bank whooping it up on LoL (League of Legends). We also attended the Tech Ranch networking party at the 317 Pub. Having been to a whole two networking events with the Tech Ranch I can authoritatively state that they are all awesome. You get to meet some really interesting people, talk about some cool stuff and usually there is free food/drink. Which brings me to my starving entrepreneur tip of the day: There are a surprisingly large number of events in this town that just give away food. A lot of the time it is even good food (even assuming you haven’t eaten Ramen for the last 12 meals). Attend these events. You will meet some people (sometimes cool) and you may be able to sneak out some food. Mix your stolen food with Ramen the next day and you can eat like a king! I call it Fancy Ramen ™.
As far as actual work goes just some more of the same. I have been finalizing some of the web projects I have been working on and trying to develop a solid marketing plan for whenever Peter thinks of his name for the Git GUI project. Peter, ironically, has been working on the Git GUI project and Kevin has been working on his office management software along with a nearly fully-functional demo for a secret project we’ll hopefully be able to discuss sometime soon. Kevin has also submitted his patch to the Duplicity project to be merged with the main development branch so theoretically Duplicity will have a Window’s port (and a lot of bug fixes) available soon. A social media users group is in the works at the Tech Ranch. The first meeting should take place before the end of the year. Keep an eye on our blog or the Tech Ranch calendar for the official date. More next month!
