FINALLY, we have some photos in about:duck, our beloved Flock developer Easter egg. Go ahead, check it out: type about:duck into Flock.
about:duck is the brain child of Manish Singh, probably the wackiest amongst our rocking developers. Manish had a vision - that all Flockers would hop atop a weird springy duck a few miles from our Mountain View office and have their photo taken for an obscure web page, viewable only by typing about:duck in Flock. Now his dream has met reality.
The development and release of Cardinal, Flock 0.7 has been quite a ride! For that matter, Flock has been a ride, and we have come a long way since our days of hacking in a Palo Alto garage last summer. Ah those days - I remember that we would sketch out ludicrous ideas on whiteboards all day, and when one finally caught, we would grab our laptops, program all night (often through the next morning) till every drop of energy was spent. Then we would pass out on the floor, and after a hazy stint of sleeping, we would get up, grab our laptops, and repeat. If there is one thing that I have learned to love about people who work in technology, it is that stupid imperative to make stuff, even if it drives them into the floor. So cool.
