I gave Dave and Alexei a ride home shortly before midnight. We’ve been working very hard to get Grid 3.2 out this week. We’re looking promising for Thursday, but after a few late nights even an all nighter by Whitehawk himself we’re getting very close. In fact it’s just couple tweaks, some docs and website updates tomorrow and the launch email will be off. Seems no matter what you do launches are always a heroic effort in the end, but we’re getting better that’s for sure! Stay tuned…

And to the Nitobi crew, keep up the good work!
