Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

We whish you all the best during christmas and new years eve. We have been very busy this autumn and have done lots of work that we never seem to get around publishing here or on our corporate website. Time just is'nt on our side when it comes to maintain our own sites =)

Lately we have been up to...
A campaign site for Systembolaget (Swedish Alcohol Retail Monopoly)
An intro & banner campaing for Sunwing (Ving Travel)
A campaign site for AMF (Pension funding company, to be released early jan. 08)
Some more cool stuff for Swedish Radio (to be published mid jan. 08)

There has been a couple of other projects going on also but most of them are not to be launched until late january so we cannot go into details on them.

We also recruited two more talented programmers. We welcome Nicklas and Mathias who will be working on some application development in C# and PHP. These guys are amazing!

The crew here at TiM are all looking forward to a great 2008 and whish you all the very best!

We are happy to se the IKEA "Lugna sovrum" online this morning.
TiM have been working with the site for a while now and it turned out to be just what we expected it to be.
The site contains filmed material where a bedroom is presented in slowmotion from different angles.

On this one we worked with Forsman & Bodenfors.

STHLM HIO

All members of the TiM crew was spending some time in Stockholm last weekend. We set our goals high to have a bit of fun and some work as well. We payed a visit to our friends at F&B and we had a great evening =)
We also made a decision to get find more talented people who wants to work with us so if you are great at what you do and want to create something with us, don't hesitate to contact us. (info at thomson dot nu)

Also - congrats to Eric who made his eight hole in one (discgolf) on Järva despite windy conditions!!

Some things we appreciated on our trip...
Ljunggrens - great food and a sweet music trip (Götgatan 38, Söder, Stockholm)
F&B - great people!
Järva - a good discgolf park
Clarion Hotel - Very nice and pretty cheap too

Also thanx to the local law enforcement (polisen) for not having any speed traps during our highway "Smokey & the Bandit" trip.

Tim goes Wakeboarding

A few of us got together and packed our wakeboards and went out for a couple of hours enjoying ourselves with fun in the water. Kim, Helena and Stefan are beginners and David is quite the semi-pro (if you ask one of the beginners anyways =)
Have a few shots from the evening below, enjoy...

MySql Stored Procedures Execute Privileges

Just as a reminder to myself and the Tim Crew into databases I'm posting this.
When using SPs on MySql you need to grant execute privileges to the procedure to actually be able to use it. (IMHO if you can create it you should think one could use it but maybe thats just me.)
GRANT EXECUTE ON PROCEDURE db_name.sp_name TO 'some_user'@'some_host';

You can use wildcards if you like...
GRANT EXECUTE ON PROCEDURE *.* TO 'some_user'@'some_host';

Our new office

Just thought we would share some pictures from our office as it is almost finished now. We are still missing some frames and canvases on the walls but otherwise we are very happy with the way it turned out. Also we have not got any furniture to our two meeting rooms but we make do a couple of weeks more without them.

TiM Round the Bay Race

Taste the wind, the water and the spirit of our crew on an evening sailing in two smaller ships. Having only mild and gusty wind it was a nice evening inspite the low temperature. The crew was divided into two teams. One that was against all odds (not on the CEO team that is) in a red boat and the other team in a green one.

It all started out well with the green boat towing the other since they had no motor on that one.

Well outside the port we set sail and after some tutorials on how to handle the sails we did some manouvering and then we had a few races between two fishnet flags and a portside mark which we rounded. One team wanted to say they won, and well, lets face it... With a dragging propeller on the aft the green boat did not stand a chance in the light winds.

Some pictures are attached and we hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed this wonderful evening in the northern archipelagos of Skellefteå.


Stefan acting as captain... Avast Ye! All hands hoay!


Side by side running the last leg


How come the "winning team" always is 2nd on all photos? Just a thought...


Shiver me timbers! Captain Davy!!


All hope abandon, ye who meets this lad on sea!

Change of environment

We are about to change our office space during the summer. At the moment they are working on our walls, floors etc and we attached photos on a part of the office. Hopefully they'll be ready for us moving in 1st of july but it looks like it's like any deadline... Chaos until ready ;)

Mammon crushed

Mammon challenged us at bowling.
None of us have been practicing that for quite a while but why not try it we thought.
You should also need to know that Mammon has their office very close to the bowling center and they practically live there on their spare time.

Who won? We did ofcourse =)
