Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Since Dan (have case will travel) Bridge returned from San Francisco…remember his trip to “the Valley” presenting Woosabi to the Great & Good, the Movers & Shakers (been reading too many Biz Guru books - sorry) of the software world…..things in the Woosabi Camp have gone from frantic development to frantic + frenetic development (thanks Dan B)

New Office, numerous user presentations, beta Testers, loadsa beta tester suggestions, offers of investment + premises (both rejected by the Woosabi crew [Dan, Eds, Ellis + me] - crazy rejections!!!????… all I can say is that there must be some pretty special funny stuff in our Welsh Water - - let’s hope no permanent health problems result), Baby Bridge is eating solids and gaining weight, Ellis has been surfing in Portugal, Eds has been to a friend’s wedding and his girlfriend/fiancee/partner has been hinting ever since!!!, Dan has been to Tenby west Wales, staying in a caravan with his wife and child for a few days (he wanted longer - but the Woo Crew said “no! get on with the Developing - 3 days break in 12 months is plenty for any Software Engineer!”…wife & me (I am just a simple sales person), therefore, I need loadsa vacation time - been to Venice, budget airline/hotel/waterbus v Gondola..see the same stuff only a lot cheaper…and they say romance is dead - West Wales, Little Haven .. long weekend…beer and food…great…west Wales and the Pembrokeshire Coast = the best kept holiday secret…..sssshhhhhhhh…don’t tell any one…..now all Woosabi crew back in the Office…..developing!

Brains Bitter

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Just realised that for those of you not from Cardiff (Wales), the Brains Bitter in our heading might be an unkown.

Brains Bitter is our local beer, brewed right here in the heart of the city - in fact, on a brewing days the city centre whiffs of hops! - it’s also a particular favourite of the Woosabi staff.

This is the official site for Brains beer - S. A. Brains
