Posted on 17. Jun, 2009 by Colin.
I often wonder, if I eventually have my own start up, what would it be like? Well amidst all the beans bags, laptops, bikes, and working in the sun, one of my big things is being efficient. Not only in a work sense but in a energy/green sense too. It’s always amazed me at previous [...]

I gave a talk at yesterday’s TechCrunch Europe Geek’n’Rolla conference about dealing with growth, hiring a brilliant team and creating a great company culture. As I said in my speech, many of Huddle’s achievements make me very proud but (probably) the thing that i’m proudest of is the team of amazing people we’ve brought together. [...]

Agile development – bendable, poseable
Posted on 12. Mar, 2009 by Colin.
We’ve banned Andy from playing Hot Chip on the Huddle HQ office stereo, as he is a little bit obsessed. You can have too much of a good thing. Bizarrely, however, one of the tracks from their latest album has got me thinking about our Agile development process. Bendable Poseable. The fact that we value [...]
