Name: Damian (Surprised ?)
I live: Sydney

Well, I'm mostly responsible for building this site.

I worked as a Senior Developer at Massive Interactive where I did most of the development on ActNow. After that I moved on and did some other not so interesting stuff before accepting a great new challenge.

I've just taken on a new role as Director of Technology for Inspire Interactive. This means bringing a lot more of the technical skills back inside Inspire which can only mean good things for ActNow!

I live in Leichhardt in Sydney, I'm the proud dad of two little kids, I play guitar with the occasional funk and soul band, and ride a bike wherever I can.

Email alerts, and other fun stuff 08-04-2008 04:33

I just checked back in on my blog and found I had a comment. Most blogging apps will send you an email when you get a comment, it seems a bit of a no brainer to do it here. So I've just added that to my todo list, if someone comments on your blog / story / photos / whatever, you'll get some mail telling you.

I'll start there, then I need to add in some preferences so you can choose what emails to get, but maybe if you've commented somewhere, then someone replies you can get notified of that too.

Any thoughts ?

Other things I'm working on... well there are few fun features we're still thinking through (think social networky things like adding and messaging friends) that are coming soon, but some definites are better searching with meaningful results, and.... tagging.
We're doing some other smaller things, like some design tweaks to make the site a little more usable, and some behind the scenes stuff to make it easier to work on.

That's me for now, I'll check back in the next few days to see if anyone has any comments ;)

Why hello 17-03-2008 09:32

My first blog post here on ActNow.
So here's my story, as my profile says I used to work for the company that built this site, most of it was my doing. Two years on and I've started working for the Inspire Foundation, working on bringing the technology in house rather than relying on external companies. Pretty exciting stuff for me.

One of my big jobs over the next few months is rolling out some impovements and changes to ActNow. I want to bring this process out in the open a bit more and blog about what we're doing. It's also what they call "Eating your own dogfood" if I am using this site more, your frustrations will be my frustrations and they are likely to get fixed :)

SO stay tuned, I'll be talking more about what we have planned and asking for feedback when we are testing things out.

Hold on, it's going to be a fun ride!
