We want to see the Halo dance!! Put it on the video!!
We loved the video but my colleague is concerned about the 'dog food' element of Friday's audio cast. Why do American's call it 'dog food'; we call 'looking for bugs'. Please reassure my colleague that you are not feeding software programs to dogs; she is very concerned about Popcorn (her dog)

I'll see if I can get the boy to do the Halo dance 🙂
Not sure where it comes from. This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eat_one's_own_dog_food) could be the origin.
At Peoplesoft they wanted to call it "drinking our own champagne". It never caught on. We don't eat dogs, but we do like to have people use what they sell.
I've heard stories of people not getting jobs at Ford or Chrysler because they drove a Toyota. I had a friend tell me that we interviewed a guy (With his manager) at Annheiser-Busch and they went out for lunch. The guy ordered a Miller Lite.
He didn't get the job 🙂

If you can get the boy to do the halo dance, we could do the 'funky chicken'!
As for eating the dog food............Popcorn is now very happy as we will not be nicking his dinner.
As for using our own products, we work for the Fire and Rescue Service. We certainly don't want to use our own products!! :w00t:
It has always been a constant source of surprise to our software suppliers that we do not 'want our business to grow'!! On more than one occasion I have had to explain very slowly that we are trying to make our business shrink; a concept some find very hard to understand.
But we will test to destruction as we don't want computer errors at a fireground

We are now training Popcorn to do the funky chicken but its a step learning curve!

We'll use Popcorn in the editorial one morning! Don't worry Popcorn, it's painless!
