Birdsoft is now located in the 4th bedroom of our house in Cottage Grove Wisconsin, just outside of Madison. We recently moved here from Stoddard Wisconsin which is right on the Mississippi and right in the middle of where all that rain fell and flooded this summer(Our house didnt get affected). Stoddard is only six miles south of the city of La Crosse Wisconsin. I started Birdsoft at a desk in our living room, and then for over a year had an office in La Crosse near the university. That building went to “non-profit” only so I eventually had to leave. I then remodelled an area of our basement in Stoddard into a pretty cool office. But my wife got a great new job down here, so here is where I am, and I haven’t had time to figure out what is out there for office space in Madison(have been too busy turning out XA and XT updates). So this is Birdsoft’s Corporate Headquarters… For now…

The main development computer for Birdsoft is now(and has been since about 2005 I believe) a Dell Inspiron 600m Laptop(pictured above). As such Birdsoft is actually very mobile, and so coding and technical support has been done from places like a cabin in Northern Wisconsin, my parents and in-laws living rooms, The Luxor in Las Vegas, Conferences in Miami, San Diego, and Santa Monica, and even various airports… Arent laptops great… And yes, I use my Motorola Q to answer support emails on the go if I have a chance… Mobile is rather cool…

I know, Im about due for a big powerhouse development CPU with dual monitors and the works… At least Ive had the cool big widescreen and dock for a couple years to ease the pain a bit… 🙂
