Timebox

Yikes!  I do like a good timebox, but to get the once a day blog I'll have to get this blog post done in a matter of < 15 minutes.  It's another late one.

So things I can think of that happened today:

Oddswop

We had our weekly Product and Tech meeting which went well.  Communities is pushing along which is great and we've got Categories and Geofencing discussed and into the sprint which is good.  We don't have an eta for the sprint as yet (I know we're doing it not as a proper timeboxed sprint but hey we can't have everything).  Andre apparently still hasn't liked our Facebook page!  But at least that's one more to add :)  and his friends... woot!  Our Likes are up over 800 now which is really good news.
I'll have to get cracking on some of the static pages so our SEO is boosted.  Btw our SEO isn't doing too badly although we're going to append the location data in.
Got the form for Biz Dev completed.
Learned some boostrap component around spans.  Geesh I wish I learn things properly rather than piecemeal.  Took me way too long to game the thing in the end... col-md-4 means you can fit 3 across (4 units out of 12 for the grid based on a medium ie normal screen).
Got a schedule together for operational / marketing / social tasks.  Really lots to do -- all of those tasks could take us 6 hours a day as it is... let alone the testing/product stuff and then the more strategic stuff!  I'm sure it will all pay off in the end!!
Connected Kick Off labs to the Mailchimp list
Started putting together a Social Media - what to use when doc.  Still a WIP.

Other stuff

WWPD - got hold of Shane!  Optus sounds like they are really stuffing things up by having numbers not work for people.
99i - a blog went out today!  Meetings confirmed for tomorrow.  We need it -- we really need to get a newsletter out this week.
IQS - didn't do much but need to get the Shopify account going and send Steve the BC site details.
SITA - will need to scope out the work from KSM before committing.
More work?  Oh no!  Got a call from Karen G which was really great!  She even had a great role but there is no way I could do anything there esp since it'd be a FT contract role.  But such a good location :(  and great person to work with and sounds like it'd be decent money!  Ah well.

Tool/s of the day: Pushbullet installed and working quite well!  Turned off a whole heap of notifications but still have a heap on and the good thing is Whatsapp now appears on my Chrome desktop...
Another tool I must recommend is Glympse!  Shows location in semi real time to whoever you message at the time.  And there is an expiry.  Highly recommend it.  Works on Android and I think iOS too.

OK timebox worked.  Not my best blog, but that's not the point.  Nighty night!
