Greetings,

My coworkers and I came across your site, I was linked to it by a friend. I have been a web developer for near on 9 years. We are enthralled by your videos and wish to know more about your product. Mainly:

  1. Why spreadsheets? I understand that this makes it easier for the end users, but it spews code bukkake into the source which makes me cry and want to destroy things that are beautiful. But it seems like you're already well into that process so I may just leave you to it.

  2. I gather from reading the source of your page that you use jQuery. This means, to me, that you have more than 2 atoms randomly colliding in your skulls which lead you to make sensible decisions. Well done on that part. This leads me on to my third, and sadly, final point:

  3. Is this a joke? If so, I have laughed heartily and with great merriment. This morning I had a talk with one of my American clients who made the terrible mistake of thinking our call was one hour earlier than the prescribed time. One of us was very terrible with the math and I'm not going to name names but I'm pretty sure it wasn't me. Not that I mind though, it only means I woke up at 5am rather than the ideal time of 6. I was in a deep slumber and muttered something under my breath before I realised I had accidentally answered the phone before doing so. He didn't hear it, and I quickly warmed up and we talked business and it was productive.

Then I had to wait another 3 and a half hours before I left for my real job. What should I have done during this time? I browsed the news sites (news.com.au, slashdot, reddit (where I've posted this for the masses to gaze upon), et. al). Slow news days are bad :(

Then your site came along and I laughed for quite the long time. Even though that laugh has faded now to just a snigger (or perhaps a chortle), my cheeks are still in tremendous pain from being stretched back for that long.

If you intended this as a joke: It's worked. Thank you for brightening up my morning. If not: Thank you for brightening up my morning.

Hope to hear back from you soon, Ryan Bigg
