Those of us working in the Marbella, Spain office of MakaluMedia are pretty darn lucky to have a super scrumptious cafe/restaurant—Mocca Marbella—just five minutes away, serving up fresh, seasonal international cuisine each day at lunch.
After getting to know charismatic Danish owner Micheal, we agreed to help him get a website built, with the idea that [...]
My company, MakaluMedia, is supporting the joint efforts of the National Writing Project and Google, to provide a platform for the nation’s young people to express their opinions on issues that concern them to the 2008 U.S. presidential candidates.
From the NWP site, a summary of the project follows:
Letters to the Next President: Writing Our Future [...]
Growing up in the US, I remember how annoying it was to receive commercial sales calls on the telephone late in the evening, when the family was sitting around trying to enjoy some quality time together. This problem was later solved (mostly) through the introduction of the “Do Not Call,” registry — a legislated service [...]
This past year has been really great at MakaluMedia. The company has grown in its core space business, and has moved into a couple of exciting new partnerships in the areas of web infrastructure and applications.
In addition to some new, and really cool, Drupal-based platform work in Europe that I can’t talk much about (yet), [...]
Not too long ago we launched a site — Fincalena.com — representing a milestone in what for me was a really interesting project. For anyone interested, I published an article about it over at Summit, our company weblog.

Just a little note about the launch of IRMA24.com, the small website we just launched for Jesus Cabello, the electrician that has just made the jump to self-employment, and who did a great job for us in the electrical installations of our new office in Marbella, Spain.
Our company has a little feedback form on its website, and any submitted data is forwarded to me. Today, I received what must be the most interesting feedbacks ever:
Dear Prime Minister of The UK, A lot of The SMS got Stuck in The Air without Reach (The Whole World!). The [...]
One of our recent customers, Outer Level, has written up a weblog entry describing the process of working with MakaluMedia designer Mike Rohde in the development of a new corporate logo.

John Engler talks about the salaries of small business owners and his uncle estimates that most small business owners pay themselves a salary equivalent to 10% of gross revenues. I just made a rough calculation, and my own salary is about 7% of MakaluMedia’s gross revenues, so that’s probably a decent rule of thumb.

I’ve nearly decided to use WordPress to implement our company’s intranet. I’m thinking that I’ll use the key/value meta facility to assign content to groups, and then add some http authentication to provide selective visibility to that content by group. What I can’t quite decide it whether to use “Pages” for content, or categorized “Posts”.

As I go through the process of reviewing CVs for a software engineer position we have open, and keep seeing acronym list after acronym list, I’m reminded of the discrepency that seems to exists between my concept of a software “engineer,” and that of so many people out there marketing themselves as such.
In school, I [...]
MakaluMedia has been doing business with customers primarily in Germany and the USA since around 1997. During that time, I would say that the majority of contacts we received were from potential customers that:
