Yammer-Dama-Hang-On ... What did you just say?

As some of you may know, we use yammer here at Kyan. We’ve been using it for about a year now, and it’s still as popular now, as when we first started using it to blabbering on about pretty pointless bits’n’things.

Now residing at 171 High Street, Guildford

171 High Street, Guildford

NEW ADDRESS: Kyanmedia, Guildford, 171 High Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 3AJ

Yes thats right, we have made the big move, a week earlier than the scheduled 24th July. The impromptu decision was made mid morning Friday (17th July, 2009) after discovering, Smithbrook was all out of power. It is assumed the heavy storms on the Thursday night were to blame for the overhead lines coming down in the Cranleigh area. As a result we were left with few other options but to relocate to our shiny new office in the heart of Guildford.

Yammer-Dama-Ding-Dong

A few weeks ago I came across a blog post about Yammer, the winners of the top prize at Techcrunch 50, in the blog post I read the line:

“takes the familiar Twitter messaging system and applies it to internal corporate communications.”

Which is some thing we’ve been looking at for the last 18 months, so I decided to take a few minutes and have a play with it.

Kyan Vs Computer Strategies Bowling Challenge

A challenge was made, a date set and geeks rallied.

Lifting the trophy aloft, it was remarked at how similar it looked to a bowling pin; fortunately not one of the dazed’n’confused staff had reported any missing. Two close games, the second only won by 7 points left Kyan the winner on this occassion. Special mention should go to Steven ‘Rocketman’ Thompson whose genuine loathing for bowling pins meant that not only did he get the top score but also managed to upset the ‘magic’ bowling robot so much that a ‘tek’ was required to fix our lane.

Highlights:

Paul taking out his own ankle with a ball
Laurent coming second last
Phil wondering how may pins in ten-pin bowling
Stevie T’s top speed of 24mph

Thanks to all at Computer Strategies, especially Tony for organising and sourcing the prices.
