Contrary to what you might think, I am a mere geek minimus compared to Thin Red Line’s uber geek: James. James looks after all things IT and is responsible for the wonderful web site you see before you as well as all kinds of systems that go on behind the scenes to ensure we offer our customers the best possible shopping experience. In fact, on that note, we’ve recently highlighted an area where we need to improve – that being notifying customers when returns have been received back and what action has been taken. Well, I can tell you that James is on the case so we hope to have a system in place that will do exactly that in the very near future.
But – James did do a little something today that was not on the agenda – he built an iPhone app. Yes, this guy sat down at lunchtime and thought “maybe it would be useful if Hereward could see web site performance from his iPhone” – and he went to work. By 15.30 this afternoon I had an all singing-all dancing web site management tool on my iPhone – I wont bore you with specifics but this is a serious piece of programing and it is amazing to use.
That ladies and gentlemen, is proper uber geekness.
