Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite 2
I'm working with this one for over a year now. It's the best keyboard I've ever used.
Yes, that's right ;-)
Our team has just grown! We have found the right people (pictures and
details to come)...but we are still looking in case you are interested in joining us!
And the cutest-hen-on-Earth was made by Sabina (graphic designer from Polove). Take a look:
Glen Hansard being creative. He actually managed to make "Cry me a river" an entertaining song..
Really positive & inspiring. Check it out!
Yes, it's the highest time to do something about our website. Yes, the blog alone won't make us look like a super-cool company.
We've known it for a while now it just took us some time to ask Manto
for a sparkling new site.
So.. what took us so long?!! We were too busy with Client-work, that's our excuse - in fact there is a very relevant Polish saying "shoemaker walks bare foot".
It's pretty old and maybe that's why it is not "web developer has no website" but I am sure you all get the point ;-)
If you are a:
Lately a friend showed us this video. It's Steve Jobs talk about:
Hi my name is Paul, I'm a one of the developers at applicake. I'm with applicake
for more than 2 years now and I am pretty happy with that :).
Some time ago we had an inside meeting, where this 'sharing experience'
idea came out. We all belive that it's great push. And there are no "buts" and "ifs".
Sharing is great!
Time to begin.
I am going to introduce You to text editing and how myself and most
guys at applicake handle it.
Text editing is one of the most basic things in our lives (except from eating and
drinking and everything else from the Maslov's pyramid of needs), especially in
programmer lives. I can't imagine programming without it. Could You?
There are thousand of text editors out there, but I'm not going to focus on which
one is the best, that is relative and actually I don't wont to go into
the "holly battle" beetwen vim and emacs. A text editor is good when it
meets Your needs and when You are curious enough to explore it.
For me The Text Editor is VIM. Why?
Because it's super fast, it's installed by default in all the
unix like systems and it's goes with screen - this setup is really
powerful. The Beast and the Beauty :>.
The Features, bells and whistles.
The most basic thing about VIM that it has modes. Normal, insert, visual,
command line are most common and they are extensively used in everyday's work.
To see more pics - also not yet edited as Joanna went to Cuba to see if Mr Fidel Castro is still there - visit

Picture no. 1 - We're good at what we're doing!
Picture no. 2 - We're cool!
Picture no. 3 - We're fun!
Our stats showed entrances from the OfficeSnapshots website . We clicked to see what was going on... and we noticed a brand new shiny post about...us!
Putting Photos on Flickr pays off!
"There are thousands upon thousands of software development companies around the world, so it’s important to distinguish yourself. One pretty awesome way to do that is to name your company Applicake. Then, instead of making regular software, you make delicious software. And put a muffin on your logo! I’m so hungry now.
The office is located in Krakow, Poland, which happens to be the black bean bag capital of Europe (...)"
We're at Twitter ! You are welcome to follow us. Plus, we will try to fill you in with photos through
Flickr .
This way you can get to know us better.
Pics from the RailsConf Europe in Berlin - soon to come!
It will be a dramatic one.
And all that because of our brand new Partnership with
SocialThinkers , a German company located in Duesseldorf.
Jan and Andre paid us a visit in Krakow mid July, now it was our time to see their
fantastic loft!
Now the story - Bart and Paul woke up @ 3 am to get to the airport in Katowice just in time for their 6am flight. 7 am - still there, plane delayed. 8am - further delay... and so it went till 12am. The decision - no other option but to go there by car. And off they went! A 9 hours ride, up to 210 km/h on the clock and a warm welcome by 'Socials'. Oh, and some cele-Barting (celebrating Bart's b-day).
And, last but not least, some serious planning on the next day. Not to mention the ride back ;-) Well done.
Forgot to mention - the flight was canceled 5 hours later.
We're off to RailsConf in Berlin (Sept 2nd-4th, 2008)!
Two Applicake developers and our CTO will participate in the Europe RoR event of the year.
What can we say?
Attendance at RailsConf is a must!
Congratulations to Germany! It was a great game and we're proud of the "white-red"!
On the other hand, K-U-B-I-C-A !!!
Finally. No, seriously. Finally! The teaser is already online, we're collecting e-mails, communicating through our blog... and receive a lot of positive feedback. I forgot to mention, it's www.tripy.pl, our first 100% own product. And it's almost ready.
Through managing the entire process we learned about some aspects of IT product development we never even realized were there ;-) So far, it has been an exciting adventure and a fantastic experience. We're thrilled to see what comes next.
Euro 2008 - we keep our figers crossed for our national football team ! Tonight you will find us watching the big game: Poland vs. Germany. Good luck guys!
