DEVONbaby No. 2: Welcome, Kristián Karas

Four years after the release of DEVONbaby No. 1 on October 1, 2003, we’ve today, September 30, 2007, released DEVONbaby No 2 — Yesterday morning at 05:30 CET, Kristián Karas was born in Budweis, CZ, son of our head developer Christian Grunenberg and his wife Hana Karasová. So, please, no complaints that we’re unable to plan ahead, or that we miss deadlines. Kristián weighs 3870g, and both mother and child are tired but healthy and well. Again, we expect no further updates as Kristián was already delivered as bug-free as such a product could ever be. We all here at DEVONtechnologies welcome our new global citizen and wish Kristián, Hana, and Christian all the best for their new life as a family. — Eric, Annard, and Bill

So, parts of the cabin are more than 100 years old. Today, the log cabin is up-to-date with central heating, air conditioning, good insulation as well as modern windows. (more)

By accident, I discovered that the 49th latitude runs straight through the ped zone. While I am not into geo-what-o-ever, I couldn’t resist to at least take a photo :-) … (more)

Devon is Everywhere

Even on vacation in the far south of France, the DEVONians don’t let me go. Look what I have found in the local shop that interestingly also sells British food products — anyone any idea why one should do this? Seems we have found a good name for our next product! Now it’s up to you to guess what it will be … … (more)
