Go Karting!

Go Karting?

What's that got to do with FinalBuilder, Automise, programming, Version Control Systems, Microsoft, or any of the other products and stuff I normally talk about? Well, not much, but a little.  Let me explain.

We live in Canberra.  Well, more correctly, the VSoft Technologies office is in Canberra.  I actually live in Queanbeyan which is very close to Canberra; commuting takes about 15mins from home to work.  But anyway, Canberra is a fairly small city and there really aren't many ISV's based in Canberra, mainly because most developers here work for Government departments because it's the capital of Australia.

One of the other ISV's in Canberra is PRD Software.  Great bunch of guys.  And they make a bloody good Help Desk product - HelpMaster Pro. We know them because they're FinalBuilder customers [see the connection now?]

So, today, we all knocked off early and headed out to one of the local Go-Kart tracks. 

It was a race: PRD vs. VSoft, Delphi vs. VB, Kart with no brakes vs. Kart with no grip.

Who knows who won.  But it didn't matter - we all had such a great time and there weren't too many "racing incidents" :)

Anyway, great way to end a hard working week and get to know some local developers.  Thanks Rod and gang - looking forward to next time!  Paintball eh? hmmm.....

Thanks Tate,

We (PRD) had a great time at Go-Karts. We might try and make the next one something a little less deadly (just in case there are any other Canberra ISV's interested in joining out there).

We might leave the ball in your court for this months challenge?

Hi Tate (and the rest of the team at VSoft)

Thanks for the Go-Kart challenge. Had a great time - we must do that again. The best thing about this was that we had a Final Builder build happening at the time of the racing! FB was doing all the hard-work, while the developers were zipping around the track. Now there's an unexpected benefit of implementing Final Builder!

Doesn't painball hurt....a lot?
