Perhaps you have noticed the lack of activity on our blog and website. No we haven’t won any lottery tickets yet ( we don’t buy any ), but for the past few months we have been really busy with Client projects and also moved offices to Downtown Vancouver in the beautiful Yaletown area.

Our new office is located at #109 – 1118 Homer Street, Vancouver, BC (Google Map). We are the very social people offering Social Media solutions.

When we take a break and go for a walk, this is our view.

We are still unpacking and organizing the new location and try to keep up with the client projects in the same time.

Ash Sanieyan from PeerGlobe Technology. He is the best freakin Software Architect you can ever find

My wonderful friend Elliot, brought us awesome chocolate goodies! This fellow is my hero!

Another good news is that we have been working hard lately on the Anahita Social Engine project with my wonderful team-mate Ash Sanieyan from Peer Globe Technology and some great help from the folks at the Joomlatools. We like to think that the public GPL release of Anahita will be out within 4 months or less. If you like to get constant updates regarding the progress of the project please feel free to subscribe to my tweets

Aug 25th Update: we have just resolved 2 bugs regarding the doc reordering in the Administration back-end. We aren’t going to release a new version for only 2 bug fixes, so if you have downloaded the version 0.9.6 prior to this date, please download and install the extension again, or simply update the source code files for the administration back-end.

Now RubberDoc can not only keep your Docs in a row, it can keep them in Order too! We have implemented ordering for the categories and category pages. You can even assign ordering from the edit RubberDoc Plugin.

This was a one day update, based on some requests from our Client SPARC BC and some of the recommendations that all of you have provided.

We apologize for not being as responsive lately in answering your comments posted here. We’ve head an early Fall client rush and we have to deliver all of those contracts that we sign. If you have any immediate enquiries that requires enhancements to the RubberDoc, you can always hire us. In the mean time we do our best to respond to your questions here on our blog.

This project has been first inspired by our client Social Planning & Research Council of British Columbia (SPARC BC) you can see RubberDoc being used to manage more than 140 documents on their website. We have just launched their Joomla powered website few days ago.

Just ordered tiny new business cards from the Moo.com and that is the image which goes behind the cards. My father comes from the old school background and he things moo cards are childish, but I have been getting incredible feedbacks and remarks from people while handing out those cards. People would follow me around or email me to ask where I got them.

I think it has little to do with the small and peculiar look of these cards. I think it has more to do with the fact that most people that have been handing out Moo biz cards, are the ones who have quite active Social Media live especially on Flickr and Facebook, and that could be a selling factor for an individual who offers Social Media Technology and Marketing solutions.

Could it be that I just came up with this post out of boredom while sipping my drink and a cool cafe in Yaletown? What do you think, is there a direct relation between the Moo products and Social Media lifestyle?
