We just wanted to let you all know that we now have a goldfish! His name is Obelix and he will live in our office, @kontoret. We expect him to get company from Asterix in about a week or so.
Wow!
We just arrived from the 24hbc after party, hosted by Bonnier R&D. We went there to have a beer and meet all of the wonderful 24hbc participants, and we came back with the grand prize: 250 000 SEK (36 000 USD) in advertising!
Thanks Paulina, Björn and the entire Bonnier R&D for believing in us. We are surprised, and very, very happy.
We are proud and honored to win this prize. There were a lot of other great projects at the 24 hour business camp. These are some of our favorites:

We are totally exhausted. It has been really, really fun. The final touch on our project was to change the color of the border to “Flick Pink”, a real Web 2.0 color… What we now have is a system that collects and categorizes outgoing and incoming calls, records them as mp3, notifies the web UI about ongoing calls, lets the user annotate the call while it’s taking place, and imports e-mails and sorts them according to clients and contacts.
It’s been a rollercoaster. From the great hype when we finally succeeded in connecting our system with the switchboard Asterisk, to the low point at 5 o’clock in the morning, when we were ready to throw in the towel. We decided to recharge in the yasuragi bath, a power recharche of about 30 minutes – the longest pause we took during 24 hours of intense hacking and speaking to salesmen.
That turnaround really paid off, since during the final six hours we managed to tie the whole project together, and it actually can record calls and notify salespeople about ongoing calls.
Good night.

Sveriges främsta webbentreprenörer?
We are happy to announce that Swedish magazine Internetworld has appointed the team behind Goldfish to web entrepreneurs of the year.
Here follows a short statement and a movie, in Swedish, with our comments and thoughts.
Internetworld har utsett teamet bakom Goldfish till Sveriges främsta webbentreprenörer. Tack, Internetworld!
Vi är givetvis både oerhört tacksamma och och glada över att bli kallade “främst” och “spännande”. Yttre förväntan ger oss energi att fortsätta vårt arbete. Samtidigt håller vi inte med; det finns hundratals entreprenörer, både bland dem som var med på Internetworlds lista och de som inte var det, som är mycket främre och mer spännande än vi!
Det är viktigt att vara kaxig också – här är Goldfish, den kaxiga versionen!
