Small Box Proudly Announces Winter 24 Hour Project Recipient

We are very excited to announce that we have chosen Madame Walker Theatre Center as our Winter 2010 24 Hour Web Project recipient! The Madame Walker Theatre Center is an Indianapolis non-profit whose mission is to preserve and perpetuate the legacies of its namesake, Madam C.J. Walker by becoming the primary provider of African-American arts in the Midwest. Both our teams will come together for 24 contiguous hours to redesign and develop a new, dynamic Web site for the non-profit in January of 2010.

Jeb Banner, our CEO, is very excited about the challenge and partnership with Madame Walker, “Although we had many great applicants for our second 24 Hour Web Project challenge, we chose Madame Walker Theatre Center because of their historical commitment to promote creativity and community in Indianapolis.” Banner states, “Also, we thought it would be fun to set up on their stage!”

Identical to our inaugural 24 Hour Web Project challenge (www.secondhelpings.org), our team will have 24 hours to design, develop, optimize and launch the new site - no exceptions or extensions.

“We greatly appreciate being selected to partner with Small Box to enhance the appearance, scope, and functionality of our web presence,” says Christopher Barney, Chair of the Madame Walker Theatre Center Board of Directors.

Barney goes on to state, “This is an incredible opportunity for us to better serve our diverse audiences, supporters and the community. An enhanced, expanded, more user-friendly site will allow the MWTC not only to share our excitement about the impressive variety of planned artistic and cultural programs and performances, but also to broaden our influence, and expose and involve website visitors in the educational, philanthropic, and entrepreneurial legacies of the Center’s namesake.”

1 Hour To Go!

here’s what’s going on

It’s 8am and the server is back

We’re thinking it was something as simple as having quotes around a zero (like “0″) when it wasn’t supposed to. Seems to be the way it goes - the simplest things you would never think of (and still don’t make sense).

Either way, we’re well on our way to being done!

Lydia, Jack, Ben and Nora win the all-nighter awards. The rest of the team will make their way back here sometime in the next couple hours.

If any of these sentences don’t make sense, well, what was I saying again?

No suitable nodes!

Well, this is a fun challenge. Our server is throwing us some errors, so we can’t even continue to work on the new Second Helpings site until we get it resolved. Let’s see what Rackspace’s customer support is like!

It is 6 am

It’s hard to believe that while the good people of the City of Indianapolis were mostly sleeping, our dedicated group has been banging out designs, code, and in general just a ton of work to get the site together in 24 hours.

There have been some major decisions made and a herculean effort. Still we can’t really see the end result is particularly close.

Not a single melt down. We are in the zone. This is going to happen.
