So after 5 years of freelancing and working out of my house, I have finally moved into a real office, care of Pandora Squared. It isn’t much to be excited about, all things considered, but it is my very first office ever, so there. We’re at a fairly high-rent building in The Fort, and from my 8th floor window I can see all the way across to Market! Market! and Serendra. Not bad for a first-timer, if I do say so myself. We’ll probably be moving out of this place within the next 5 months though, as we’ll be growing too large for this 40sqm space pretty soon.
Work on our next major project has been slowly unwinding; I’m not sure exactly how much of it I can write about without breaking our pinky-swear NDAs so I’ll just say that we’re putting together a very big Filipino social network focusing on one of my favorite things (no, not poker). I should be able to write more about it within the next week or so, as rollout schedules have been heavily compressed on this one; we are going to be pushing out a public beta before the end of this month and launching first week of October.
**We’re trying to grow our development team as we go along, so if anyone out there has web development experience and wants to learn Ruby on Rails, please feel free to contact me.**
