Pathologically Entrepreneurial
Joe, Brian and I have arrived in Silicon Valley unscathed, despite the monsterous storm blanketing the region. The trip was rainy, but thankfully the snow was fairly painless except for about a 10 mile stretch at the Oregon border.
We’ve settled into our furnished apartment and have shuffled it around to be dramatically more office-centric.
Not a lot of people know this, but RescueTime was built in a part-time way– generally evenings and some weekends from time to time, on top of day jobs and/or consulting gigs. It’s a testement to technologies like Ruby on Rails and MySQL that we could pull this off. I am incredibly excited to see what we can pull off now that we’re working full-time on this thing with zero distractions. The good news is that we’ve literally had thousands of feedback emails from our users– so we’ve got a pretty good sense of where to go.
Stay Tuned!
