One of the benefits this brings is the ability to share problems and ideas with those you wouldn’t usually. Last Friday, I decided to sit and work next to Steve, one of our top flight developers. He turned to me and said “I’m having some troubles working this out, can you take a look”. Now most of the stuff Steve does is way over my head, so he started to explain what his program was doing line by line. “Ah!” said Steve, “don’t worry, I’ve spotted it, thanks bear”.

Had I not been sat next to Steve, he’d have never asked and probably spent the next half hour scratching his head.

Our office is open again after the Christmas break and with just 15 support calls over the shutdown period we had one of the quietest periods on record so thanks to all our clients for giving us (well, Andy, Tim and Jerry) a peaceful break.

Now we are back into the swing of things, so here’s looking forward to a successful, profitable and busy 2010.
