Building a startup - my first 30 days
As people have noticed, the volume of blog-posts over here has dropped dramatically since I started work in my new role at Indiginox. The first month has flown by in a speed I didn't think possible and work has been so varied it often made (makes) my head spin. Here is a short incomplete list of things I've been doing in October:
- Went to the Cocoon GetTogether in Amsterdam and hung with some old friends
- Worked on a re-design and new concept for a customer's product web-site
- Met with and talked to various current and potential customers
- Ordered desks, a color laser printer, a PC
- Wrote a couple of Ruby on Rails based applications that utilize the GoogleMaps and Flickr APIs
- Wrote an article on Enterprise 2.0 for a German magazine
- Fixed the coffee machine
- Sorted out tons of paperwork with our tax consultant and solicitor
- Went to a media event in Heidelberg
- Planned our booth for W-JAX
- Worked on our marketing material for W-JAX (roll-up banner, posters, shirts)
Our desks still haven't arrived so the office is sort of empty, but it's home now. And fun.

Reminds me when we started Anyware Technologies 6 years ago: I was leaving a humongous 100.000 employee company, where getting a power extender required several days and e-mails. Suddenly, I just had to cross the street and buy it myself at the supermarket.
Keep up the good job!
