It’s about five months since the renovations completed at our new office at Amcorp Mall. Take a look at how our office is, in it’s messiest state (when everyone’s busy with product release, with bug fixing, support e-mails and sales!)

This month’s budget includes… Decorating

Hooray! This month The Management allocates some fund in decorating our office space. We haven’t really decided on what to buy yet, but we’ve short-listed a few items that could find a place to call their new home here at the office. Unveiled in the list are:

-         mini-fridge

-         sofa set (more like a sofa-bed)

-         air-purifier

-         plasma TV *smiles* (not this month people!)

I personally opt for the mini-fridge, since I will be using it the most. But I don’t know if the rest care for a tub of Haagen Dazs once in a while? Hhhmmm…

What’s in Our Book List?

In case you don’t know, we also have a monthly budget for books. This month, we went out on a splurge for books. I personally got two books for the office, mainly in Graphic Design to help us out with the Website. Azrul got two, one’s on Ruby-on-Rails and the other’s a book highly recommended by Joel Spolsky in his blog. Here’s what we got from Kinokuniya the other rainy day:

The Little Book of Layouts – David E. Carter

www.Corporate Identity – Hector Guere

Ruby for Rails – David A. Black

Dreaming in Code – Scott Rosenberg

I got the Amazon link for the books just in case any of you like to check them out.

Everyone else in this team spend hours and hours a week scouring the Internet to search for ideas. I personally like them packed in a book. Instead of looking at a laptop screen getting lost in the process, I like to spend my time around the big bookshop at KLCC with chances of getting lost in the idea universe slimmed down in the process when looking at specialized books that capture specialized websites. Hmph.
