Milestones: Team and Individual

Well, we launched the Fan 4.0 with an extremely low amount of friction. Other than M$ gimping Adobe’s Flash auto updater code in Vista, there weren’t any problems. We pushed a quick HTML only fix, and within 24 hours, Adobe had fixed their installer anyway (well, they did the same thing we did and put up a message saying Vista sucks)

Not only was the launch uneventful (which is good) but it was also right on time. We’ve really got a great team, and I don’t just mean tech. Our Project Manager¹ is great at managing the ebb and flow of daily issues, and our business manager¹ is a geek at heart who totally gets tech and development in a way i’ve never seen a “suit” ( ) do before. Obviously our tech team rocks too, since Arpit is one of the premier flex custom component writers. (The Fan has a freakin Circular scrolling list, need i say more?)

Which brings me to my personal milestone. When i got home today, i noticed an IM reply from Arpit that I had missed at work. We were talking about some code of his I had to change:

No i’m not talking about our horrid spelling/typos (i’ll let you guess which those are) but the passing of the torch on the Fan.

Call me a geek, but I’m quite proud
