Are we a dot com?

May 13, 2005 in General Discussions

Well, we’re not a dot com, but we (GenoLogics Life Sciences Software) did just move into very nice new office di
gs. Of course it wasn’t the first thing we spent the VC money on so I guess that drops us from the .com designation.

It’s been an interesting two years, seen the company go from 2 employees to 30, $0 in the bank to fairly significant VC investment. Looking forward to the
future and all the responsibility that’s going to bring.

We took a bunch of pictures of the old office today and I’ll post them whenever I get them from Sandy’s digital camera. I’ll take some pictures of the new
office when I get my new coolpix.

Moving sucks tho! We changed phone systems, going from a traditional PBX to VOIP. VOIP is going to be nice but it looks like we have a few wiring mishaps
so theres a few ports that are in-active and won’t be usable by developers come monday morning. Fun stuff! Other than that, new desks, dedicated server
room, kitchen complete with the uber expensive capucino machine (don’t drink coffee personally so not really a benefit). All that’s missing is the plasma
and the futons (and the fountain pop machine from the success days)
