Central Plaza POC | Spent most of the month coding a proof of concept for the Central Malls - the largest chain of malls in Thailand. Rick spent two weeks setting up and testing at the Central Malls main office building. The coders supporting him were all still in Chaing Mai. Development was difficult since they couldn't see their code in operation. |

Chris makes a rare appearance | Our CEO prefers to be out with clients wheeling and dealing. He leaves most tech decisions and day to day operations to Rick. When he asks for work it is generally via social media like Skype. Today, he decided to drop by lab personally. |

Early visit to Cisco | Cakebox got it's start by providing custom solutions for Cisco customers. Basically, Cisco would go into a customer and offer to sell them a bunch of hardware. Then, they would say, "and you'll want this software from Cakebox to really make it work for your application." |

Setting Up the Lab | For months we have been writing code that communicates with sophisticated Cisco hardware. The problem? That hardware was not in the same room with the developers! Very difficult to debug. With this new lab, we can have the hardware right in the same room with us. Here we are beginning to set everything up. |

All Nighter | Left the lab and went to the condo where we had plenty of food and began the long night of coding for a very important demo in the morning. Komsun arrived from Chaing Mai about 7:00 pm. Tri worked remotely from Nontaburi. Exhausting, but a great bonding experience. Muu and Mae Bie served food and generally kept everybody comfortable. |
