yesterday we already at the hotel piz buin on the bieler höhe high above the civilization in the vallies of vorarlberg. the arrival by cabel car and bus through narrow and dark tunnels was already an exciting highlight of the day. after dinner (yes quite late at 8pm) we hold a start up meeting where the sprint topics were discussed. of course, there are a lot of geeks here (which is fine), and the topics are not really familiar with me, or maybe cotrariwise. but there are two of them which fit to my programming experiences: developing dashboard widgets and a kind of voodoo website developmet with grok. well i still don't really know what grok is (it's a kind of simplified zope a little bit like ruby on rails) and therefore today's topic was dashcode. dashcode is a developing environment vor dashboard widgets on leopard. there you can easily manipulate the html and javascript files that maintain the widget. togehter with armin from lovelysystems we are building up an app that processes and displays data from meinberlin (http://www.meinberlin.de). we hope to finish the project tomorrow. but the day started more relexed with a three and a half hour snow boots tour with an incredible view on the mountains of silvretta. it's nice to combine things that we love to do! :)
