Table XI Talks
Happy March!
Happy March! We're just as amazed as you are that it's already the 3rd month of 2008. We've been meaning to send out this newsletter since January. It was originally supposed to be our take on "New Year's Resolutions," but we're a bit late. Despite our tardiness, we have collected a bunch of relevant thoughts and we're happy to share them now. As always, we look to inform, educate and amuse.
Table XI launches newsletter
Season’s greetings to you all! We are so happy to be writing to you in this, the first installment of the Table XI newsletter. We’ve been meaning to put together a forum to occasionally share thoughts and ideas with our network of people and you’ve been selected.

TXI welcomes a couple new team members to the clan, er, team… Erik Schwartz and Greg Baugues. Things around here have gotten busy recently and they’ve come to save the day.
Table XI replaces the award-winning Chicago Dryer web site with a new.... web site
On the eve of the launch of the new Chicago Dryer web site, Chicago Dryer’s OLD site won an “industry’s best web site” award at the 2007 Clean Show in Las Vegas.
NU Department of Medicine's instantiation of System X released to production
After much anticipation, we recently launched System X for Northwestern University Department of Medicine (DOM) into production. The Department of Medicine Professional Activities Database (DOMPAD) allows DOM to maintain all of their data in a secure and easily accessible web based application. System X provides the framework for this important application and as it improves, so will DOMPAD.
Walls Come Tumblin Down...
So after painstakingly putting up walls in our space when we moved in here, we decided that they needed to go. Our resident handyman Fadil came in and happily took down the walls he had constructed a couple years ago. Laughing at us the whole time.
We also put up full length blinds and moved our desks into the now open and work conducive space.
Turns out, it makes things much nicer for poker too. But that was definitely an afterthought. Yah. Definitely.
Rooomba!
We’d like to introduce you to the newest member of our team, Roomba.
Rain, snow, or shine, he’s ready to clean our floors and bump into the walls.
Spice House gets a makeover
We just re-released Spice House a few weeks ago and things are looking good. We were able to revamp much of the site to optimize it for current search paradigms and should soon see the benefits.
Because it's there
Just got back from Kenya and Tanzania, and cannot express to you how beautiful and amazing it was. Climbing Kili was even better. However, I can safely say that it was one of the hardest things I will ever do in my life. While physically draining, it was more mentally challenging due to the long and cold nights. For those who are thinking of giving it a shot… go for it. I’m by no means a sherpa and was able to conquer. Much was learned on the mountain. It’s so good to be back though.
