Fleck kind of got in the way of a few other projects we were involved with. Rasasa.com was one of them. Fortunately the project did get finished in time, even without our daily care and attention.

So I’m proud to be able to tell you that Maarten Wolzak yesterday launched Rasasa.com. Here is a description of what it does:

Rasasa will keep you in touch with your favorite news sources, you probably know by now that RSS feeds are really handy and keep you up to date on all kind of things. Rasasa helps you to keep track of all this news. It will deliver the news to your messenger if you’re online and to your mobile phone if you’re offline… Or to your email box if you’re in a ‘quiet time’.

It is still in Beta and I’m sure it will stay that way for at least a month or so. Go over there and sign-up for an account!

We are still accepting sign-ups for our beta test and I’m happy to tell you that the number of people who want to join our beta far exceeded our initial expectations. To get a better idea of who all of those people are we build a short survey at JotForm.com.

JotForm is a great web2.0 application that let’s you drag and drop everything you need. We build this survey in 15 minutes and that included a small meeting to decide which questions we we’re going to ask.

If you would like to join the beta program feel free to leave your emailaddress here on on the Fleck.com front page. In the welcome message you will find the link to the survey.

If you already signed up you will receive a seperate message with the link.

Last week I visited my parents in Rotterdam. My father owns a huge inkjet printer which he uses to print his drawings. He is an architect.

I asked him to print the biggest Fleck logo possible on his printer to hang on our office window. It’s a huge print measuring 1.2 by 1.2 meters.

You CAN see it from the Amsterdam central Station, if you look REALLY HARD! The funny thing is it looks huge in our office but more like a Favicon on the streat.

We are still working on our technology as hard as we can. Some people have mailed us to ask if we couldn’t at least post some screenshots or product specifications. We decided not to do this and stick to the original plan of finishing the beta and releasing it in March. Right now we are buying our servers, installing systems and putting the finishing touches on the client software. So we are still on schedule!

Yeah, it was a slow week for most of us but a huge downhill slide for me personally. Don’t worry about it; I have been skiing in Meribel, France.

So now I’m back and I have a ton of work to catch up with! Patrick, Arjen. Ivo and Erik have been working very hard during my small vacation and the mail didn’t stop pouring in either. I now have 160 unread messages in my inbox.

I did use my Blackberry to answer some of the more important messages while on vacation but you just can’t keep up with the avalanche of mail coming in every day.

I wil spend today cleaning my inbox, getting up top date with Fleck development and talking to the guys. It’s good to be back!
