So, back in March 2006, OTBC officially open their doors to us and the of change wheels start spinning. With two families to move – five people, two households we had much to to. Of course, I did the heroic thing and left my wife to handle the movers, packers and closing out the lease with our all so suddenly less helpful landlord. Thanks for that…
FYI – Popping back and forth to Singapore four times in as many months, I certainly got my itinerary smoothed out: if you have to fly via Narita, make sure you stop at the sushi bar near the UA Red Carpet Club. They do take away, so if you are pressed for time, you can eat on board to the envy of your fellow passengers.
The first couple of months were great – hosts of people who wanted to see us – moving from Singapore grabbed the attention of a bunch of local open source aficionados.
We busied ourselves with selection of lawyers, accountants and tax advisors, and learning the business landscape of our new home. At the same time, we started delivery of a consulting contract in Australia for Tabcorp, organising our Australian Business Number, and getting ready to invoice! All good things.
Product design and architecture now took on new pace with Alec injecting discipline and development experience into my ideas. It all came together pretty well. Product was released in late June, Angel and VC investors were being kept up to date, and we developed a great deal of positive feedback from the local business community in general as well as other software entrepreneurs.

So that was the catch-up content, moving forward I will keep this up to date.
