The Economist recently named our city, Vancouver, B.C., the most liveable in the world, based upon a variety of factors, one of which was the quality and ease of transportation infrastructure and public transit.
Gossamer Threads is now a member of ‘Partners for Life’ through the Canadian Blood Services, a program set up for corporate and community organizations to donate blood as a team. Each year, we commit to donating a pre-determined number of units, with each donation made by a staff member counting towards our company’s total. This past Wednesday was our first group visit to one of the clinics set up throughout the city!
It’s been two months, one week, and two days since the season started, but ‘It Was the Wind’ has at last procured their actual first win! Jack, however, insists on mentioning that the team has previously won two games (winning by default is still a win!), not to mention that glorious tie from a few weeks back. However, in accordance with the true spirit (and definition) of victory – this is the first!
Your typical programming house is fueled primarily by a combination of coffee and pop, a tendency to which Gossamer Threads is no exception, as rivers of these precious nectars flow in torrents around here.
But what shall we do with the empties as they pile up and up?
With the summer season hitting us here in Vancouver (and presumably other parts of the world as well), clearly we needed to install a BBQ grill on our 9th floor patio.
Jack, our loving provider, went out and procured a grill of the finest quality, as well as some benches for us to park our keisters on while we indulge in the delights of the BBQ’s flames.
No Name brand burgers and buns make the mod_perl handling so much easier.
