Meshuggah battering my eardrums...good song here
A new week. And I just left LKV to fly on it's own. That feels just great.
And absolutely nerve-wrecking. The last implementation was huge, a system shift,
you might say.
My thoughts keep wandering back on forth over the reasons why and how. Even though I don't want them to - they keep coming back like flies or an itch that when you scratch it just itches more - or like a new stud in your tongue - you cannot leave it be...
...and all of a sudden you think of something that you didn't thought upon - cold clasp around the abdominal area,  heart pounding, moving my lips as I, once again, declare the logical steps one by one and of course returning to the same conclusion: it is solved. no bothers.

Moving on to the next project. MVP. That sounds...yeah...like it has been taken...

Setting up the classes, the pages, the functions, extending the classes with subclasses and new features that you thought upon during the last project but didn't allow yourself to implement, due to the lack of time, of course, always this lack of time.
It is fun to start a new project. A clean database. A new approach (maybe...).
Initial, crucial decisions that will effect the direction of the whole project.
Bad decisions now and you know what will happen: they will keep you company like a bad friend.

But right now - everything is good, real good!

"Anytime!"

New, new, website news!
by Sebastian
January 2010, new website launch!
As we announced before – her it is. Online, fresh, attractive, updated and with a new design. Off the Red webpage is finally here. Our goal is to keep it updated(this time) with all new and interesting projects that we work with.

After some restless days & nights we agreed on that we should launch it today – 25:Th of January feels a good day for that.

Here in Malmö is sunny but really cold today, so we will mostly be inside our office; glued by our computers and following closely the analytics reports.  If  U do not remember how our former website looked like, here comes a screen shot with the old index. page.

Enjoy and let us know what U think by dropping a line under contact page.
PS. Swedish version will be soon under the .se suffix(of course).

Juggling
by Ola
I am bad at juggling. Not IRL w/ three balls - that's simple. Easy to learn.
I'm struggling with juggling three projects at a time. Or this time.
That is really... meh!

You start one thing. LKV. Really concentrated. Feeling good. And then the mailbing.
Ok, read the mail. Oh, maybe I should look in to that OTR-thing?
Which file was it? The inc the src the cert the fn the tools the... WTF!?
Aaagh, found it!
And ta-da, my colleagues enter the room. They should, actually, we all work in
the same room, but I get distracted. The ordinary missed high fives and freezing
handshakes all around. The Q's the A's and where was I? - returning to my screen - oh yes, the LKV!
Ok... let's go... no wait - this wasn't it! I was doing...
-What!? turning to Seb. He asked me something.
-Did you read the email?
-Yeah... did you get my text?, Aiham fills in.
-Eeeh... (fiddling desperately with my phone)... yes the email and no, or yes. Now the text!

-I'll fix it right away.

...aaaaaand coffee...

(Back in the seat) Yes! Now, where was I? Did I check my mail? Oh, one unread!
"...and it is not working...blah blah blah...check it right away?..."

My 3-year old son's voice breaks the concentrated silence: "missatche" (my text-received signal
I know it's corny, but it's allowed.)
"...did you read his mail? ...strange error when sending..."
-GAAAAAAH! I totally forgot about the Space-project.

Stop, breathe! Inhale. Exhale. WHAT should I do? What time is it? 11.25!?
What happend with time!?

And so the day rolls by. Until all of a sudden it is time to go home. I need help.

Is there anybody out there with a simple, easy to learn method or process to handle
more than one project at a time? Or should I just refund my brain?
