Who you Know

Sonja Podstawskyj on Jun 22, 2008

In Canada sunny Sundays are when we head out for some climbing or lake swimming. Here in South India, sunny Sundays are about eating Birhyani and hiding in the shade. The 35 C+ afternoon heat is an energy drain. To stay cool on this blistering Sunday, we’ve taken our positions in front of our respective computers - Rik squashing bugs, Natalka getting Sugared and myself - bouncing between booking a room in Bangkok and learning more about the Golden Temple. The past three weeks have been rich. We’ve set up our office, hired 2 new programmers, taken 2 road-trips and joined in the full-moon walk (14km) around the mountain.

Sonja Podstawskyj on Jun 05, 2008

imageNamaste, greetings from India!  This is the first installment in a series of blogs that follows the Yellowseed team as we set up a web-development office in South India. Over the next four weeks I’ll share info about traveling in India, hiring Indian programmers, setting up a office and nurturing an effective and happy team. More has happened here in the last three days than a month in our home-town of Nelson, BC. While I have a plan for this series - being in India has taught me that plans (like traffic rules) are arbitrary. Sometimes it’s best to go with the flow!

New Site Launch

Rik Logtenberg on Feb 06, 2006

After many months of planning and work, we've finally launched our new website. This is a major plank in the development of Yellowseed 2.0 - a faster, friendlier and better quality web design company. We redesigned our logo, motto, accounting, customer support and we've made a new committment to web standards like XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.0 (Painful irony: this site isn't completely compliant - dratted Internet Explorer has forced us to comprise). Anyways, hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions please email us or send a ticket through our Consulting and Support system.
