Ahmedabad . Work . Prof Ranjan

We went down to Ahmedabad a week back.

Always good to go to Ahmedabad -There is a pervading entrepreneurial energy in that city.

Met with a couple of companies that have been speaking to us and it was time to meet in person. Meetings went well. We are looking forward to working with them.

Our past work in the products for the Education space inclines us to try and work with a company in Ahmedabad that is creating interesting products.

Had a fantastic meeting with Prof M.P.Ranjan. He is one of the sharpest minds around and a super person. His thoughts on Vamooz have stimulated us and we will keep working to make Vamooz what it can be. We hope to have Prof Ranjan visit our office, speak to  our small team and see a larger spread of our work.

Vamooz! Now on Facebook!

After 3 days of non-stop coding, reading up on facebook API documentation , and lots of caffeine -  we finally have a Facebook App!! If you are on Facebook you can check it out at http://apps.facebook.com/vamooz-news-ticker/. As usual we look forward to everyone’s feedback and support, to make a great app/product. And you don’t need to be registered on Vamooz to try out the Facebook App.

TechWiki – A 4am Wiki.

TechWiki

Usually when you want to get something done the first thing most people would do is to probably search for it on some popular Search Engine. Invariably one finds blog posts, wiki entries, manuals and help pages that describe various solutions. A lot of the time one would follow the steps described in the first (or shortest) such page, and just when you think you have got a solution, there is a small glitch that makes it all fall apart.

So….more reading, more tweaking and you realize that the source that you were following forgot to mention ‘those details’ like…”this doesn’t work on Linux” or “To get this working on older browsers however you will have to do some additional work which is beyond the scope of this document”.

By the time you get everything to work you have gone through at least five different pages describing the same task – so far so good, but what if you wanted to do the same thing again a month down the line.

We at 4am, document some of our adventures and have shared it publicly on a wiki, just for the fun of it!

So all you hackers, coders, geeks and aliens out there … check out TechWiki, add, edit etc…and let us know what you think.
