My staff and I are working around the clock to push out the best chat tool ever.
msgpad is coming along! My real problems right now are sleeping at night without dreaming of code, and dragging myself off the computer to do “other” stuff like.. drinking, eating.
Thanks to everyone who has already signed up for the msgpad beta in May! If you haven’t signed up, but would like too then please “head over to the registration page.”:http://msgpad.com Yesterday I spent cleaning up msgpad code. I ended up re-working the chat interface substantially so the code is far more intuitive now. It’s amazing how you can feel when you’re working with or against the design grain.
Before today my computer chair used to sit on top of two carpet mats to protect the carpet. But today I bought a large square of MDF so I can actually use the chairs wheels now. It’s hard to describe how annoying the mats were. This is all part of my larger plan to improve my office work environment to hopefully help productivity and motivation. I also have my eyes on a Dell 24″ LCD… No really, looking at my 19″ CRT 45 degrees to my left is not good for the neck and back! Bad Feng Shui!
It’s pretty clear that some still have it better than me in my own office.
