Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 2:13PM | Charles Seybold The theme for this release was performance, performance, performance (yes, we take it that seriously). We’ve made most operations faster including saving edits and moving items around. There are also optimizations that will benefit people with large tree structures in their plans. Even though we were focused on speed, we managed to get some new features done too...
Wednesday, March 18, 2009 at 6:00PM | Charles Seybold This is just a quick post to give credit where credit is due. The team at HCF made our new home page video and if you have any interest in getting some video work done, you should get to know them.
I went in to this project a little skeptical and thinking “how do you communicate what LiquidPlanner does in a minute and a half without spending a fortune on production.” Liz talked me into the project and I’m thankful she did. We had a single one hour meeting with Max Kaiser, Director & Founder at HCF. Of the 30 minutes that were not filled with my dumb questions about video production, Max put together the storyline that made it (virtually unchanged) to the final cut. If you know me, you’ll know I cannot keep my design hands off anything because I’m a visual perfectionist. HCF executed the process so well and so quickly, I didn’t even have time to be nit picky.
Bottom line is we love the result and give this team our highest recommendation.

Monday, March 16, 2009 at 10:03AM | Bruce Henry Well, I'm not writing about the panels I attended yesterday as they were entirely unremarkable.
Speaking of unremarkable, AT&T has been having a heck of a time dealing with the capacity issues that >3000 iPhones and other smartphone-ish devices have been causing here. As of yesterday my iPhone was completely unusable for anything but SMS and voice. In that I had put my schedule online so I wouldn't have to fumble for the paper schedule (and the paper schedule lacks a detailed chronological listing of talks) this was... suboptimal.
Come on AT&T, you knew SXSW was coming and that it would be big. The data problems last year were forgivable because the iPhone was a new thing at the conference. This year, you should look in your logs for phones with data plans registered in the area and refund their bill for May. Just sayin'.
Dinner... then... epic win...

Austin is awesome!
Within 30 minutes of being wheels down I was eating barbecue and drinking Shiner Bock! Just freakin' awesome.
Friday was a slow day, just half a schedule in the afternoon since people are still rolling into town. There is so much to see at SXSWi that unless you were to shadow someone for the entire time, your experience of the conference is going to be completely unique.
The tech highlight of Friday was Erica O'Grady's birthday party.
Hmm... birthday, tech highlight... how does THAT happen. Let me explain.
Erica had The Go Game set up a game for her birthday party attendees. The Go Game is a company that builds a real world scavenger hunt + challenges + puzzles + freaky interactions with actors game that is enabled by mobile devices (i.e. cell phones) and cheap digital cameras. Awesome!
Oh yeah, I guess I should mention ...

Several months ago I was thinking about what it was going to take to better integrate email into the LiquidPlanner feature set. Coincident with this pondering I became vexed by indenti.ca. Let me explain...
I am an avid Twitter user. I love my Twitter friends and it keeps me feeling connected to them even when I can't "be there" in person. Twitter allows me to be vicariously present when my body must be elsewhere. But then one of my favorite tweeps went over to another micro-blogging service, identi.ca. I can feel the conversations fragmenting. Now I have to be on multiple services when really I just want to "follow" Mar***Mar***'s updates. Frustrating...
