Dear Panic,
Can I just say thanks? I’ve been using Transmit back since OS9 or so, and each year I use it more and more. You guys entered a market that had plenty of competition and just nailed the FTP client. I’m impressed. I imagine I’d be quite a bit grumpier without Transmit around.

I’ve been enjoying the 3.0 betas for a few months now. Now you can too!

When we at Method Arts found out about a crazy situation in New Mexico, we saw it as an opportunity. The situation, in a nutshell, is that in 2000 the state contracted a huge company to build a website for their unemployment benefits program. Seven years and $11M later, nothing much has happened. We saw this as an opportunity to get together and try our hand at building something that works, in just one day.
Sure, that’s crazy. But why not? I mean, things have changed. It’s much easier to throw together a team of smart, agile people and make something. And that’s what we did.

After living at a bed and breakfast, having only a single room in the house to ourselves, it was a liberating feeling to spread out a bit.
Now we are moving again. We are buying a house in Edgewater, another cool old area just barely west of denver. Edgewater is just one square mile in size and has a lot of small town feel to it, despite being surrounded by the sprawl of the Denver metro area. Our new house isn’t huge but it is quite a bit bigger than our current one. It will allow us to grow a bit and also keep a good office for me.
