We used to have whistle Hayes codes up t'phone line ourselves - after making our own modem leads out 'o back to back NULL modems.

You're exactly right though ;-)

As a 40+ engineer I would have considered REST urls but facebook would never have occurred to me.

Yep it's tough being over 40 - we don't really understand this web stuff. I mean we invented it all 20years ago, we wrote the first browsers and the first servers, we wrote the first pages - but since we don't spend all our time following #britney or end every sentence with LOL we obviously can't understand it.

The nice thing about being a startup in Vancouver is you have really motivated staff

We keep an office in Toronto to send all the failures to - that really motivates people to succeed!

Touch screens suck in those environments.

We used to use a fancy touchscreen gadget in mining - where everything is covered in water, oid, dust and you wear gloves - genius idea!

Depends on the product - this pitch is aimed at 'cool new web framework' type opensource projects.

If I'm looking for a heavy duty technical library, say 3D mesh generation or image processing I want someone serious behind - preferably with a full time academic job in the field and some papers, more than a twitter account and a cool logo.
