SpeedPPC (Cloud Edition) – What’s changed?

After more than 12 months of redevelopment, SpeedPPC (Cloud Edition) launched on the 2nd of July. There was cake, and joy, and bleary eyes shedding a single poetic tear. But mostly there was excitement. This is essentially SpeedPPC: The Next Generation. We had to strip SpeedPPC back to the foundations and build it all over again to add in the new features and functionality. (Drinks on the Holodeck, anyone?) Here are some of the main differences between old SpeedPPC (V4)

Announcing SpeedPPC (Cloud Edition) – Coming July 2nd

The light poured out of the doorway at the end of the darkened hall, illuminating the dust bunnies and tumbleweeds lined up along the corridor. From inside the room came noises of pain and triumph, muffled skirmishes, the tapping of keys, and finally one long “YEESSSSSSSSSS!” A curious figure suddenly appeared in the doorway, casting a shadow over the dust bunnies.

In the grand scheme of things, we’re comparatively still a small business. Of course we’re working hard to get a lot bigger. Nonetheless, I hope this serves as encouragement for people who are trying to make things happen who don’t have much to begin with. With any luck
