Needless to say, I wasContinue reading “Thanks for the fridge!”

PBwiki Raises $2m To Make Wikis Awesome
Folks, You may have heard it through the grapevine, and it’s true! We’ve raised $2m from MDV to invest primarily in engineering to make PBwiki even friendlier and easier than it is today.

Never Fear….
…no Salmonella here! Harkening back to David’s post about being glad we ship bits rather than physical stuff, boy, it’s also nice to know that we don’t ship anything that could harm people, either. On a lighter note, I just bought a household-sized fridge for our office. The one we have now is a veryContinue reading “Never Fear….”
