Some wonderful Mochie Ice Cream to end the day.

Well, it’s not a finished product by any means. But we do have a lot of the main pieces for the O-CHA one page website in place.

We’re pulling in the newly created O-CHA Twitter thanks to their API that actually allows you to display your own data in other place (ahm.. Facebook)

We’ve got the basic contact and hours information posted.

The logo.

Links to some of their social networking profiles etc.

Facebook

We really wanted to pull some information off of Facebook and put it on the O-CHA site. This turned out to be impossible. It’s disappointing stuff. Let my data go.

Results as of 2:14pm EST

We’re back from a lunch meeting minus an Evan. We got a bunch done this morning, hopefully Jim and I can bring it home.

Programming Humor

Jimmy C: Want to learn to program?
Mad: Yeah
Jimmy C: Here, regular expressions is a good place to start

GoDaddy has curl and that’s going to allow us to pull in O-Cha’s Twitter feed. Yay!

Stop not working.

So you know, O-CHA is going to start recycling soon thanks to Evergreen Recycling.

The fine design and copywriting talents of Jimmy C

Social Networking

This site is going to be super simple. We are using existing social networks to pull information into the site.

So, will have links to or info coming from

Twitter
Facebook
MySpace

BTW, O-CHA now has a Twitter account

A plus of the wonderful new O-Cha location is it is a corner spot with tons of windows and great views.

A negative tons of windows and great views is we get some glare on the laptops.

O-Cha 2.0

Today, we are working from O-Cha, trying redo there in a single day. Stay tuned and see what happens.
