Snapshots from the Week of Code

Last week was the "Week of Code." Abby, Casey and Chris came up to Portland, ME and we worked on LibraryThing together—planning, brainstorming, coding and "team building" (eating).* Here are some snapshots from that. (I wish I could arrange them to take up less space, but Blogger is frustrating me today.)

We also said goodbye to Altay, who will be seeking fame and fortune on the west coast. Altay was largely responsible for the code behind LibraryThing for Libraries—a beautiful piece of work. He will be sorely missed.

Altay and Chris puzzling over code. The Laphroaig bottle—our gift to Altay on his departure—may explain the puzzlement.

With the departure of Altay, we are a Mac-only outfit. Don't they look beautiful?


We have plans! Chris, Casey and Abby.


Casey, Liam and I, sitting at the LibraryThing Beach Party. I was the only one to swim. There are a number of extremely unflattering photos of me you will never see.


Chris amusing Liam


I would think he was cute even if he wasn't. But he is.


Last night. It's blueberry season in Maine, and my family went blueberry picking. Yes, the blueberry pie has an "LT" baked into

*We didn't take photos of the lobster dinner. It was Casey and Chris' first time.

Those are great photos! It's nice to see photos of you all, and see what went into the Week of Code... behind-the-scenes LT! And yes, Liam is very very cute. :)

I agree with Heather, it's great to see the team together - serves as a reminder that LT isn't just code and servers, there's real people in there slogging away!

Oh and Liam looks adorable inbetween Casey and Tim on the beach :p

Behind Casey is the Latin shelf; on the other side of the Greek!

We're not only a tech startup, we're a rather good classics library! :)

Yeah, but just the history. The literature is mixed in alphabetically below.
