And here we stand.
6 months, 148 classes, 20,000 lines of Java (and 3000 of XML!) after we started, we have come to the point of releasing ChipsAway Phase 2, a project that has kept several of us on our toes for so long, into production.

This is a good time to look back at the six months just past, rather like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes He star'd at the Pacific (On First Looking into Chapman's Homer - John Keats). While there have been periods when we felt rather like the six hundred who rode into the valley of death (Charge of the Light Brigade - Alfred, Lord Tennyson), this release was what one would have described at the outset as a consummation devoutly to be wished (Hamlet, Prince of Denmark - William Shakespeare).
While there is still Phase 3 to look forward to, one cannot help but feel a tinge — make that a veritable dollop — of sorrow at the much lamented passing of our teammate Rodolfo (no, not literally!). Rodolfo, thank you very much for all of your hard work, and we hope to work with you again at some point in the future.
While this blogpost is lovely, dark, and deep, I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep (Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening , Robert Frost). Therefore, it shall suffice to say that we at Cloudreach are immensely (and ordinately, if that is a word) proud of how we did, finally, Make It Happen!
