As you can imagine… When there is no news on this blog, it means that the agenda is very full. We can sum it up with some nice graphs: One constant thing is the number of hours available in a single day. One thing that grows exponentially is the number of tasks that absolutely must be completed quickly. Everything is urgent: finishing the website, taking care of the mobile applications, preparing the second series of...
The Coupe Icare is over! So thank you to everyone who came to see us. I had worked well to prepare the pretty stand: But suddenly, I still haven't had time to finalize the new site. So I'll get back to it this week. It's progressing, but it's work. To speed up all this, I will hire a developer (nodejs / html5). It will save me time to focus on the essentials.
There had been no news on this blog since the end of August.. Suffice to say, it's been an eternity! The storm is over. So here I am back. It's over First good news: 99% of the Pioupious are delivered!!! The map will therefore continue to thicken in the days to come. Following that, I put the remaining Pioupious up for sale. But it didn't last long. It only took 24 hours for my stock to be…
Grown-ups love numbers. They count them and recount them. In general, it ends up in miles of Excel spreadsheets, or on Powerpoint presentations with soporific effects. So, I too have “metrics” to monitor the progress of the project. On my dashboard, we count in “height of piles of boxes”: Before: Now: Conclusion: I have practically sent all the Pioupious. If I'm doing well, I should finish the...
First there were the mountains of Pioupious: Then, then, the mountains of boxes... And this Friday evening, there were 250 Pioupiou sent out of the 400. It's very symbolic, because I sent all the Pioupious who were "ready to go". If your Pioupiou has not yet been sent, it means that you fit one of the following boxes (with a few exceptions): You have not confirmed the delivery address You have indicated that you are on vacation Your Pioupiou needs …
My inbox is overwhelmed with messages like "when will mine be sent?" ". Do not panic !!! If yours hasn't left yet, it will be in the next few days. You will receive a message to inform you of the shipment and the tracking number. There is still a bit of work before everyone is ready: I think we will have sent a large part of it by next Friday (the 7th)….
There was a bug on the blog. So some of you missed last week's news. Too bad, because it was the most important: it announced that deliveries were about to start. So there it is, it's done! The very first Pioupious have been shipped. Behind the scenes In total, I have 400 Pioupious to deliver. It takes a whole organization. Do not be mistaken. Some ordered Pioupiou more than a year ago…
So. Bearings are still on the way, but they shouldn't take long. So according to the most optimistic scenarios, the first Pioupious should be shipped next week. There is still a lot of manual work, especially because of the parts arriving late. So we can't send everything at once. I will proceed by order of purchase. There won't be case by case, because it's too complicated to manage when you have to send 400...
All that was missing were the bearings and the tails. We are nearing the goal. The tails So I received the first 300. That's when I saw that there was a spelling mistake… Otherwise it wasn't funny. Good. I imagine that on a Pioupiou perched 10m above the ground, it won't bother too much. We will correct for the next series. Once forgotten the stories of Bescherelle, it was necessary to “finalize” the maps. As these also figure…
We were hot ! I solved my problem with Mrs “Lisa” who didn't want to deliver my bearings. I gave him an ultimatum like “if you don't deliver me before next Friday, I'll give you very bad publicity on the internet”. It worked. In fact, it worked but not as I wanted. She refunded me. As a result, my initial problem was still not solved: when will I have these bearings...
