Mao, your advice about dive into details of technology as a CEO of technical background helped me a lot – remember our chat on Skype during May holiday?

In the last two months, this is what I did:

  1.  I started two week full-time train program to cover http://home.wangjianshuo.com/cn/20070623_ece.htm

  2.  I organized rewrite of the Kijiji Code. The end result of the training program is, everyone rewrite Kijiji from nothing to completion within 1 hour. Every passes, with the top record at 41 minutes (including all the major features of Kijiji)

  3.  I also asked people to use OO to re-architect the whole site so the current lines of code of Kijiji shifted from 10,000 to less than 1,000.

  4.  We also created a framework very similar like ASP.NET (with Control, Text, Input, DataGrid…), control/field lever permission, Event, Queue…

  5.  We deployed memcached – a distributed memory cache of virtual 3G on 6 machines, and now the database is always “write-only”. 95% of read was done directly from memory – much faster web site.

  6.  The current product team is capable to deliver every feature within 2 days, and has a weekly release. Look at these versions: Look at these: http://shanghai.staging.kijiji.cn/index.txt http://shanghai.staging.kijiji.cn/c2101005-d21?&view=picture

I was not able to response your Skype message yesterday, and want to let you know what happened here. How about your recently? Where are you? I mean physically?
