The referrals program is in effect. We decided on using email addresses for the referral code, to be referenced during the signup process. This seemed good because we figured people might not sign-up right away after reading a site or blog post. However, some are now asking for referral codes to pass via URL, so we’ll get started on that too.

Current customers – check the Accounts tab in SliceManager. Have people reference your email address during the sign-up process and after 90days your account will be credited. Enjoy!

Hurray – we have opened the doors! A big thanks to all of our early testers. Please contact us with any questions – we’re here for you. Enjoy.

Thanks to 37signals, the chartroom is backup. In a geeky brush with fame, I received an email from Jason (the owner) and a comment from the man himself – DHH. We bought their book, we use all of their products and are all aboard with working smarter, not harder. However, the fact that both of these guys were working customer support on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and evening speaks volumes about their success. Thanks guys!

It appears that 37signals’ scheduled maintenance on the Campfire chat application has broken a few things. We had to flush our DNS cache this morning and it took a few hours for us to login. But now the public chatroom seems to be unaccessible. The URLs it generates for us link to error pages. Hopefully they’ll get it back up soon and we’ll see you there.
