RealAdventures v2.0 Coming Soon…
Aug 22, 2007 23:34 - By: Vik Kachoria
In between Marc’s programming-in-Hebrew lessons and my challenges with the short supply of Coke cans (bottled in Atlanta), we have been feverishly working on Version 2.0 of the RealAdventures website. This has been long over due, but we finally got the immense project started the beginning of this summer and are hoping to launch it early September.
At first, there will not be many differences in the layout of the various pages, but you should see a significant improvement in speed. In very rapid succession, we will be improving the navigation of the site and adding a number of exciting widgets.
I’ll provide more details as we get closer to the launch date….

Consistency in PHP

RealAdventures Launches Company Blog
Aug 13, 2007 15:20 - By: Vik Kachoria
Over a lunch discussion of various topics including the untimely demise of Coke cans, Marc Hanlon, RealAdventures super-star developer, suggested that we add a company blog. Instead of writing code, he’s been drawing odd looking geeky boxes on a white board and scheming up great ideas for RealAdventures to connect with visitors & advertisers.
I think there might be some confusion over his job description, nonetheless, his blogging idea was taken to heart and the company blog was launched.
Look to this blog for the latest development in the company website, marketing initiatives, new staff and other discussions on Coke cans, geeky boxes, etc, etc.
