Ramblings of a Northerner

Metrics conference (hosted by GGI)

March 21st, 2007

Sara and I are at a metrics conference in Boston (where they called me "Addsen", which is too stereotypical Boston to believe).  Learning lots about metrics, optimization and industry norms which hopefully will be useful in our work.  One interesting thing is that we met some folks from CA there whom where trying to get their company processes and methodologies defined and metrics a fundamental part of their business.  They are 10x our size…  so that gives me hope that we’re ahead of the curve and getting to our problems before we are them.  That said, there’s a company here called Line6 which is 60 people, and they are trying to address their problems before they become our size.  Got called an entrepreneur by the guy whom runs the course because I contacted some folks he mentioned in his course material — I just thought it was problem solving).
