Loving the Bench

I know it’s Wednesday, but it feels like the weekend just ended.  I remember Monday morning thinking, “thank God it’s Monday.” What could possibly make me feel that way, well I was working all weekend.  Besides attending PopRally at MoMa, all I did was work on the new version of Designer Pages.

There was a huge bug with our search engine and finally, at 11am Monday morning, I fixed it.Bugs with software sort of work in this weird way, the bigger they are, the less code the fix finally involves. So after getting only about 5 hours of sleep the entire weekend, 8 little lines of code fixed over 80% of the functionality on Designer Pages, namely, search.Along with some new features, like clippings, which are social bookmarks in architecture and design, we launched a 3rings, a product blog in architecture and design. We’re super excited by this blog, we love the design (props Rus), and have a team of witty writers who think about products in space 24 hours a day. Check it out if you get a chance.

Otherwise, things are beginning to slow down, something I imagine I’ll only be able to enjoy for a few days till they get crazy again. I’m reading a great book called Weaving the Web and want to dedicate all the hyperlinks in this post to Tim Berners-Lee, a living legend.So that’s a quick update on my doings. Any questions?
