When I worked at Microsoft, Steve Ballmer coined a new phrase internal folks used to use to describe the state of our software. But, somehow, "Eat Your Own Dogfood" slipped out into the press. He didn't mean to imply we were making software that was on the same level as...mere dogfood. Rather, he meant to imply that we needed to sample or test our own wares, just as our customers eventually would.

Well, good lessons never die, and this week I pronouce as eVenues' Official Dogfood Week. We successfully dropped our new site onto our production site, but we're experiencing some intermittent hick-ups and page load delays. This entails us having to tune our Web Server so customers can receive the best performance and experience possible. Our developers are working on this feaverishly and we plan to update our source as soon as it's stable and ready.

Thank you for your patience as we eat our dogfood; we'll be ready to take that walk in the park soon!
