We’ve been hard at work creating more time-saving features for tiffr, with a big announcement and deployment planned for this week, but I’ve been meaning to write this post for over a week now so I figured now is a great time to thank two people who were tremendous help in the first week tiffr was online with feedback and some incredible coding skills.

John Perieteanu and Dan McCormmick were instrumental in getting the site up to speed during that crucial last week of August and we can’t thank them enough.  John used his massive Perl skills to quickly write us a script to get the live data into the database to begin with, which would have taken Ryan and I at least twice as long to do.  Dan, a programmer and film lover himself, spent a couple of nights putting tiffr through its paces and offering constructive and specific feedback about everything from design to functionality.  He even contributed some Python code to keep the database up to date with changes happening on the TIFF site that has proved super useful.

These guys are computer wizards to the nth degree and we can’t thank them enough for their amazing contributions!
