Great time for an office move!
This is our environment right now. Yes we are moving offices. I know, I know, great timing huh? We have no telephones or Wi Fi yet so we’re effectively still working from home right now.
But despite our increased levels of disorganisation, Amigo is still ticking along. We received a letter of confirmation from the Patent Office, acknowledging our application for the trademark, and accepting our cheque for £250. So finger’s crossed!
While on the development front - Dave has assured us that we can expect a full Beta in around two weeks and Jason is busy in Philadelphia working on the web designs.
So at the moment Dave and Jason are doing all the work, while we spend our time putting Ikea desks together and getting ‘Allen-key’ wrist! Building web apps certainly is glam…
Wow guys, looks like a really nice place, i hope you enjoy it!

Are you going to invite your faithful blog readers into the beta? :-)

You’ll look like Popeye in no time! I’ve found my power drill with an Allen wrench bit works wonders. Good luck with the office build and can’t wait to see a working model of Amigo.

Looking good man, looking good. I still have to fix the Emaginacion’s office, we haven’t had the proper time to do it. Is more like a studio right now. The bad news is that down here at Argentina, we don’t have Ikea or anything like it, so we will have to make some magic over here and over there.
I love those Ikea desktops! And I love that bookshelf!

Thanks everyone! We’re really excited.
If you look carefully, you can see my Noodle figure (from the Gorillaz) on the bookshelf ;)

Where in Philly? I live in Philly.

Looks bright, vibrant and enchanting. No doubt many future applications will be borne out of that very office.

What’s the business logic behind this?
I mean amigo has not been lauched yet, and You are getting new office already.
Or am I missing something?

Amigo is part of Carson Systems. I presume they are getting a new office for the entire company, not one product.
The office does look great. Good luck with the project, look forward to seeing a working version also.

So you’ve outsourced all of the fun stuff and now you are stuck doing thr grunt work. Funny how it always works out that way. ;-D

so, what ikea desks did you get? im sitting on one now but im not sure if i’d still get ikea for my “official” office. are you happy with the desks?

We’re moving into our new office because we have just hired someone - to edit Vitamin (www.thinkvitamin.com) and to organise our next ‘Future of Web Apps’ Summit. Plus our first web app is now making a profit for us so we’re not just betting our move on Amigo alone. It’s just one part of our business.

Haha “‘Allen-key’ wrist”, I know this all too well from moving house a few months ago..

Wheres the updates guys! I’m having withdrawal symptoms.

In Sweden the Allen-key is called “Insex”…

Hope the new commute isn’t too bad. Working at home, it only takes 20sec — just enough time to put on a pair of slippers and a cowboy hat.
Comment by Andy Stewart — June 8, 2006 @ 3:42 pm
Loving the look of the space. I might have to “hot-desk” it down to Bath sometime ;)
Well done guys.

[…] Hoewel dit alles je wellicht niet week in de knieën zal maken (nieuwsbrieven zijn zoooo 2000) is het de blog die het verschil maakt. Hier zie je echt hoe het er in de keuken van een Web 2.0 app aan toe gaat. Bijvoorbeeld hoe je van een krabbel op je schetsblok tot een logo komt, wat er gebeurt als je een nieuw kantoor betrekt of hoe een trademark wordt behaalt. Stap voor stap kun je volgen hoe dit product richting launch-status gaat. Een hoop ervaringen die je niet mag missen!Tags: web2.0, web 2.0, amigo, barenakedapp, email, ads […]
