This article has already been posted on the Anahitapolis blog, however for many who are still unaware of that website, here is the link. This event was organized by our wonderful friends Boris Mann, Sonia Ryan, and Roland Tanglao from the Bootup Entrepreneurial Society who gave us the spotlight for 30 minutes on July 7th 2009 at the WorkSpace in a room with at least 60-80 people from the vancouver technology community. Thank you so much for this opportunity guys!

Here is the video and since the slide show is not quite clear in it we have also embeded the presentation as a slideshare in this blog post for you. Thank you Roland for the great video that you’ve made. The the other project that presented after us was BuddyPress from Automattic. These are the same great folks who have devleoped the Wordpress blogging software.

Nooku Interview with Rastin Mehr on Vimeo about Anahita Social Engine ™

Anahita Social Engine with Joomla! from Nooku on Vimeo.

Yesterday Peter Russel interviewed me about the Anahita Social Engine ™ and how we used the beloved Nooku Framework to develop our social web development technology. I think despite the stuffy nose caused by summer allergy and being up early after late hours of working the night before,  I managed to communicate what we have been cooking up for the past 18 months!

I wish my good friend and partner Ash Sanieyan from Peerglobe Technology could be there in the video too. Having spent countless of sleepless nights and long working days together on the Anahita project he could have offered very interesting inputs about the technology from his own perspective. Perhaps next time he will the one on the spotlight while I’ll be coding and fixing bugs :)

Thank you very much Peter, Johan, and Mathias (the Nooku folks) for this interview :)

Blog has been upgraded but there are some bugs

Published on February 25, 2009 in Open Source and Rastin Mehr. 0 Comments Tags: , .

Update: alright problem is solved. This time I have used the WordPress K2 theme which turned out to be able to handle multiple columns perfectly and it has been well maintained by its creators. So do not use the 3ColumnK2 theme it seems to be dormant and it no longer works with the version of WordPress.

Just an hour ago I’ve upgraded to the Wordpress 2.7.1 however the probelm is that 3ColumnK2 theme that is used as the base for developing the rmd Studio blog theme, has some issues with the recent version of WP. For example you can’t click on the arrow above and go to the previous page. Unfortunately seems like that the 3ColumnK2 project has been dormant which means I either have to fix this theme myself or redesign a whole new theme.

Anybody else experiencing the same issue? I’d appreciate your comments.

Come and Visit us in our new office in Yaletown

Perhaps you have noticed the lack of activity on our blog and website. No we haven’t won any lottery tickets yet ( we don’t buy any ), but for the past few months we have been really busy with Client projects and also moved offices to Downtown Vancouver in the beautiful Yaletown area.

Our new office is located at #109 – 1118 Homer Street, Vancouver, BC (Google Map). We are the very social people offering Social Media solutions.

Yaletown, 14-Sep-08

When we take a break and go for a walk, this is our view.

Yaletown, 19-Sep-08

We are still unpacking and organizing the new location and try to keep up with the client projects in the same time.

Yaletown, 17-Sep-08

My wonderful friend Elliot, brought us awesome chocolate goodies! This fellow is my hero!

Another good news is that we have been working hard lately on the Anahita Social Engine project with my wonderful team-mate Ash Sanieyan from Peer Globe Technology and some great help from the folks at the Joomlatools. We like to think that the public GPL release of Anahita will be out within 4 months or less.
