It is very interesting to sort through things that we have been working on. The 4am website ( www.4am.co.in ) has been refreshed and we have put a featured set of products / projects that we have been building at the lab and for clients.
The team has been fantastic.

Drop us a line, let us know what you think of our recent work.

the long tail of bugs !

The long absence on the blog posts can be attributed, in no small way, to the unending joy of fixing the long tail of bugs!

Bugs, in the language of the geek, are lines of code that occasionally ‘break’ to produce unexpected results that have to be fixed in a most humain way without the sanity of all being put at stake. Generally a humorous process that involves serious amounts of coffee

We have featured some work that’s been cooking on the 4am website. Do give us a shout if you have any reaction to anything!

A New Look

Harish — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 13:22:09 +0000

4am recently celebrated a year of existence. So what have we been up-to? Are we doing anything? Have we done anything? I mean what is it that goes on at the 4am Office?

We thought that a neat way to deal with these questions would be to have a live video feed of our office on the web! However it turns out that there are some technical difficulties in bringing that idea to reality! So we figured that a new website would be a good start!

Of course its hard to put in everything we have done over the last year into a single website – but it has a fair bit of what we have been up-to

So check out the new 4am Website and let us know what you think!

Auditing loss of productivity due to illness

Bharani — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:48:17 +0000

At 4am we have been wondering what the results of an extensive audit of the loss of productivity because of common illness cause a developing economy.

Illness that for the most part is not prevalent in more ‘commercially developed’ nations seems to be quietly chipping away at productivity in developing economies.

Wondering if the approach to public health will change if the impact on economic growth is clearer?

Lots of meetings with companies, organizations and individuals with very varied possibilities of how we should commit our time. It is a challenge to evaluate the possible synergies that will be mutually beneficial.

Traveling is always fascinating, very interesting now that you have only the eyes of your fellow passengers to read what they are thinking.

A lot of additional work on Vamooz in progress. We should be out with a beta real soon.
