Dare to dream ....

So for some reason i cant sleep, good thing is im in the mood to write, so lets write ! OK ... Dare to dream ... thats the title of this entry ... hmmm, its abit different then what i would usually write as i usually write about technical topics related to the implementation of the project. However I guess this entry is somewhat related cause its related to the inspiration behind the teams motivation to continue working ....

i wrote about the how all this started in 2 posts, the events that gave the ideas to begin this project and the initial driving force that prompted me to get off my but and 'JUST DO IT'. Starting is important but so is continous motivation .... I guess regardless of what i wrote earlier the reason why this project has continued to progress is every member of the team has dared to dream. If you think about it, who knows what will happen when we release this application for everyone to use, was this work we put in worth the effort, was it worth the time spent, is it a dud and did we just waste it all, if you think to much about it things start to play in your mind, but if you think of the end goal and what you want to achieve then you prevent any negative thoughts.

Regardless of what happens at the end, the journey that is currently taken is important. It builds the foundations and is also a learning experience. That being said most things in the life, regardless of the outcome, good or bad is a learning experience its really just our own interpretation.

So whats the dream ?!? The three guys working together on this project dream of running a successful and profitable business. Make some money and friends along the way, help some people and be free from the shackles of a 9-5. No one has told us we are going to be successful, but the dream keeps us going.

So looking back, below are some links to the youtube videos that have been posted to show the progress of the datacenter build since inception, since the days when the garage was cramped and full of rubbish, when we didnt have proper equipment ... to todays completion of the hardware build and half of the code we are deploying - (well the main components anyway) ... when looking back and watching the videos i think we can smile at the work we have done ...

OK, hope that wasnt too deep, i think im really gonna go to sleep now, below are links to the various you tube videos from Garage DC 1 - Garage DC 8 (more to follow later) nite ....

... nighters .... time for some ... zzzZZZzzZzz
