Taking a day offline is strange. I'm listening to Bach and sipping Chinese Lapsang Sechuan with my London-based family, writing emails to friends and loved ones, helping out with putting up the table, all newly-washed and shiny, wearing all new clothes.

Aside: Icelanders have pretty "alternative" Christmas traditions, and having to wear new clothes for the Holidays is part of that mesh: Instead of Santa Claus, there are 9 or 13 "Christmas guys", pretty low types that sneak and steal. Their mother is a horrible witch and their father a loser of sorts. Last is their cat, the Christmas cat, also a dirty beast that'll eat children that don't have new clothes on... you can imagine what class these unfortunate children belong to.

It's been an amazing year. Although we already moved from the bedroom back in August 2004, in January 2005 we were still but a small (yet cool) band in a shared office.

Things have changed: we are now a real company, with a growing customer base and regular and growing business. Releasing regular updates with amazing (imho) new features, and expanding in the right directions.

(.... I never got the write this to the end... Christmas laziness, a little flu, family and friends, and of courses, work, took over and now I'm back in the office. So much for the tea an Back.)
