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 .**
