One of our guys (well, gal, but that sounds funny) sent me an email and suggested that we do a meta-review. We always do a post-project review to find things we could have done better. She suggested that we take a look at the whole year and look for stuff we could have been smarter about.

Not Ruby vs. Ajax (geek delight!) but everything.

So we’re doing an all-hands, including our (expensive) outside council, (cheap) outside accountant, etc, and take a look at the year.

And since people can remember three things, we’re going to look for three things we can do to increase bonuses three percent per quarter. (ceteris paribus revenue, natch!)

What a great idea. I figure outside services costs will run us $5K to $7K for the day, so it’ll have to have great positive payback. Just having everyone in the room should be remunerative in the long run.

We’re going to use the most useless day of the year: Friday, December 28.
