Hours of planning? Neah!

quick schema

What you see above is a quick server clustering infrastructure schema we put together in a 5mins brainstorming session today. Looks ugly, eh? Here’s why:

Here at Brainient we believe light planning, heavy testing & often review is the way to go. We don’t spend hours on specs, docs or other mumbo-jumbo. We rapidly put together something that we can understand and get it rollin’.

The good thing in the above image is that our sysadmin guru perfectly understands what it says :-) . He’s a genius, we know.
And yeah, the sun on the top right is part of the schema. Can you guess why? :-)

Flash news

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

The future’s bright here at Brainient. Here’s some flash news, to see what we’ve been up to:

1. We’re moving to a new office this weekend. Bigger, brighter, closer to downtown Bucharest. We’re finally gonna have space for a gaming room. Pics, soon.
2. Request’s for Brainient’s services are piling up. I’m actually thinking about putting a 90 days waiting list notice on the homepage :-) .
3. We’ve got new colleagues and one more awesome Project Manager, Andrei.
4. Skimbit, one of our biggest projects got techcrunched.
5. Just got an Xbox, a Wii, and we’re waiting for the ping-pong and foosball tables to be delivered.

Oh, and one more thing. We’re hiring more devs. Four of them, to be more precise.
