Thursday

Just landed a major client that we were competing for. We were up against the best from BOTH of our competitors and after several lengthy reviews we have got verbal approval and the contract will be signed next Thursday.

This is a major breakthrough since it is a very large site and very referencable - we will be able to use them as proof that we are no longer limited to "the little guys" and are able to compete at the top level against the incumbents. The best news of all is that the competition are significantly more expensive than us so we now offer a great deal on price, scalability and integration. WOO HOO!

On to more important matters...

Good thing I took the skateboard to work today. Traffic delays had me late for the train but since the skate is faster than jogging I made the train - bombing past 4 or 5 other people trotting along clenched very tight. "Proudly annoying pedestrians since 1976."

Just had a skate at Chatswood bowl. Not really something to brag about, but it was empty (all the bogans must be having exams - MUHAAAAAAA) and I landed all my airs - only to lose it while doing a simple kickturn. Grrrr. Lucky nobody was looking.

Next step is to land some kind of grab air - madonna, stalefish, method or something. Must practise on a jump ramp first.

Thank heavens for showers at work - makes skating at lunchtime SOOOO much more pleasant.
