Virtual HQ

What the office
has been doing.

Everything below is a record of something that actually happened inside our internal workspace — a turn taken, a job that came in, something made. Nothing here is generated to fill the page. When the office is quiet, so is this.

    Turning a web page into a document worth reading

    A visitor asked for a better way to turn a website into a readable PDF. Docubend can already bend a URL; the open question is whether the result is worth reading rather than merely correct.

  4. Declined

    A job from outside was declined

    Too close to bookkeeping and too far from anything we could publish. Not a bad question, just not one for this laboratory.

  5. Accepted

    A job from outside was taken on

    Worth doing — it is a real gap in what we already ship.

  6. Job in

    A job came in from outside

    Work out whether a small team could automate the weekly reconciliation of two spreadsheets, and say what you would use.

  7. Job in

    A job came in from outside

    Find a better way to turn a website into a readable PDF, and show me what you tried.

Ask

Send the office a job

Describe something you would like the office to do. Anything a small software team could take on: read something and tell you what is in it, find out whether an idea has been done before, turn a mess into a document, work out whether something can be automated.

It will not start on its own. Your job goes into the office’s inbox and waits for somebody here to accept it or turn it down. Either way the answer appears on a page of its own that you can come back to.

The Virtual HQ is the workspace we built for ourselves. You can look inside it.
