Startup Weekend Boston

CSS breakthroughs! Chris & I have solved the major issues and it’s all working now in IE7, Firefox and Safari! It’s a huge step forward to completing the site and now it’s all content generation and we’ll be getting on that right now. Things are getting stitched together now and we’ll soon be seeing some product! I know I’ve been saying that for awhile now but this design breakthrough is a huge one and Chris seems to be immensely relieved at this point.

We got a slingbox to watch the game on here at the SWB offices and everyone is huddled around the TV eyes glued to the Sox. This is game 7 of the ALCS so it all coms down to this tonight. Much like SWB, it all comes down to the next couple of hours for us whether or not we all succeed. It all depends on how well the team plays and works together.

We’ll post updates as the night goes on much like we have all weekend except this time it will be scores and SWB updates.

Since the night is winding down I figured I’d let everyone reading this blog know about the fact that DeskHappy will be having its own blog starting tomorrow where you will be able to catch all the developments that happen in and around DeskHappy, Inc. I’ll toss a post up later with the url for the blog so you can add it to your RSS feed.

PR seems to be finishing everything up. I’ve been told PR is now working on blogger outreach and the DeskHappy blog is getting put up as well. We have an awesome PR squad and they really have their stuff together and managed to turn out some great materials for us to utilize for the site and promotions. Cheers go out to Christina and crew for powering through some seriously long hours.

Chris & I are working on some CSS and making some quick design changes for the site. Once this is done (and it shouldn’t be too long) I believe we’ll be rolling something out for everyone to start using and giving us feedback on.

The CSS for the site is being completed now and should be done we hope. On top of that Dev is finishing up the email template for the daily updates and I guess we should be rolling pretty well at that point. Overall, Startup Weekend is working out to be damn good on this end and we’ll be joining the ranks of West Lafayette in launching a product.

We’re hanging out here with Samantha Murphy and eating some Taco Bell. Interesting combination but it’s a damn good one. This is easily one of the best surprises from the weekend. Having an awesome musician help close a great weekend is something that you could never asked for.

Thanks Samantha for stopping by and the Dev’s need to get back to work!

We’ve got some Asian food on order and it should be here soon if all goes well.

I just spoke with Chris from Dev and they’ve had to recode the design but he assures me that we’ll have a beta up tonight for people to be trying out. Yes, I said it because he was positive it was going to happen.

So yes Virginia there will be something launched this weekend here at SWB.

Karen endeared herself to the developers by bringing them cookies, not a bad plan at all.

Brian’s been a busy little bee, see why we love him below.
