Well, it’s not very often I get as excited about something as I am with the new Gighit. It’s been a long time in the making, most of the time just bubbling away at the back of my head. NOW those thoughts are becoming a reality.
Alen and I have been working tirelessly for the last 2 months on the new Gighit. Designing, coding and now plugging in all of the bells and whistles that are going to make this website (hopefully) rock your social worlds.
I’m not going to reveal anything yet other than the logo (above), even though it’s been bouncing around for a few months on the web THIS is it’s official ‘launch’.
Other than that I can reveal the new beast is being coded in Python/Django and will be hitting your monitors in December 2008. When it’s live we will let you know here first!
Well, I thought that it was about time I did a post (of sorts).
Things have been slightly odd here as of late. If there is such a thing as a credit crunch it really doesn’t seem to be affecting us (touch wood) as it has done some other companies I know. So we’re finding ourselves going through the same busy peaks and troughs that you get with work coming in, the peaks and troughs are just magnified. One minute you think “oh shit, there’s nothing to do”, the next thing you know it’s “oh shit, how are we going to turn this lot around!?”.
Fortunatelty though we now have Alen here who has been working tirelessly on Gighit and fine tuning the Caffeinehit website. I’ve just got back from New York, the original reason was for FOWD, a real disappointment (compared with FOWA). Luckily there were some very interesting meetings after that which made the trip worthwhile, watch this space in the coming weeks.
So… If you hadn’t gathered there really was no reason for a post today, I just felt that it was time to post something! Either way, there’s some very exciting stuff in the pipeline so make sure you check back soon…
Well, it’s official! Caffeinehit has a new recruit, Alen Mujezinovic our new Senior Developer is heading up all of the development adventures over here at Caffeinehit Towers. SO, if you need ANY development work, social networking applications - anything, Caffeinehit now has the capability to do anything and everything you could possibly want.
We’ve tempted him over from the (slightly) chillier climbs of Zurich. Expect to see some seriously exciting stuff from Caffeinehit before the year is out…
Anyway, Alen. Great to have you on board… Can’t wait!
PS: A massive thanks to Kieran and the guys at Playfire, I seriously owe you some drinks!
A very quick post really. I wanted to say a massive thank you to Steve for getting the Caffeinehit blog working with Wordpress. It’s working brilliantly and now sits perfectly with the rest of the site.
I’d recommend him 100% so if you need any Wordpress hacking done then you can find him at Peeled Carrots.
Finally, the much hyped Startup Predictor from YouNoodle has gone live. A very impressive little application which (I’m sure) is incredibly accurate.
I’m wondering how I’m going to spend my retirement. Caffeinehit has been valued at $14,400,000 for in three years time (August 1st 2010). Lovely.
Well, I missed it - Caffeinehit’s (official active) 1st birthday. I realised that I left MTV on 6th July 2007, although I didn’t start ‘working’ until August 16th 2007 but I guess my official freedom was 6th July so that should be the date.
Anyway, what a first year it’s been. It’s been great, so thanks to all my fab clients and my amazing grilfriend for her support.
Roll on year 2! Let’s see what happens…
