New office and new employee!

Posted on January 10, 2012 by | 10 Comments

Nothing is like starting the new year with blank sheets of paper and color crayons! OK, Norwegian proverbs might not translate that well, but here we are: A new year, a new office, and a new employee (me)!

New Employee Cava

I can totally get used to lunches like this!

My name is Henrik Hartz, and I joined Espen and Marius January 2nd this year after working 7 years at Trolltech and Nokia. For the first week and a half I have been getting busy with existing projects while Espen and Marius are pushing new frontiers – for the time being focusing on an Android project.

Aside from 50% growth, we also moved to a new office – literally across the road from the old one. The new place is a lot larger – the three of us share an office – while we have a lunch-room (with a red couch and gaming system) and extra offices to spare. We want to grow even more this year.

After moving in – the place was in a bit of a shoddy state..

discombobulated...

After a quick stop at IKEA, we got some new office furniture to get us ready for a busy New Year!

Cutehacks at the Qt Contributers’ Summit

Posted on June 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

A big ‘Guten Tag!’ from Berlin and the Qt Contributor’s Summit! We’ve already attended the pre-summit Qt for Android meeting and are now at the Café Moscau where the actual summit is taking place.The place is buzzing with sessions and discussions about present and future Qt development. About half the people present are non-Nokians and all are enthusiastic and engaged in shaping the future of their favorite cross-platform toolkit. There are people walking around with various Android devices and iPads running ports of Qt.

So far it’s been a fun, interesting and productive event. It’s a great venue and it’s all been extremely well organized, including working wifi (!) and free drinks. We will stay here until the end of the event on Saturday, so if you’re in Berlin and want to talk to us, give us a ping or look around for the Cutehacks logo.

We’re officially up and running

Posted on August 3, 2010 by | 8 Comments

Marius and I’ve had some busy days lately, but we’re now finally up and running. We’ve now got an office, some fat internet lines (we’re talking close to 100/100MBit here), spanking new machines and a happy grin on our faces. We’re sitting over at Forskningsparken in Oslo (map), and I used Endomondo to track how long it would take me to walk from home (check out my “workout” here).

One of the things we want to be with Cutehacks is to be open. We want our projects, commits, presentations etc. to be as open as possible for other to share, collaborate and comment. So, we thought it might be cool to have a look at how our first day at the office was. Check out the video below.

Tomorrow will, hopefully, be a normal day – and we’ll get to work. And by that I mean actual work, not carrying boxes around and eating ice-cream all day :)
