At Fubra we love the snow. When it snowed last year in February one of our Directors even skied into work (lucky for him, his house is at the top of a hill, and our office is at the bottom). So this year, with the arrival of up to 40cms of snow in some parts of the South, we decided to build an igloo in our office car park.
The following video shows you the construction process and some of the problems we encountered while building our snow house:
Things were pretty hectic here at Fubra HQ last week, whilst Paul, Brendan and half the content team were away having a well earned skiing break in Val Thorens, France. The developers and network teams were hard at work putting together our new cloud hosting site HostOn.it, and as ever I was trying to calculate interesting things, such as “how much VAT do we owe this quarter?”
I was looking forward to having the whole team back in the office today – but it seemed the weather had other ideas.
Overnight, Fubra HQ, Aldershot and the surrounding areas were covered in a blanket of snow TEN inches thick! Some staff were unable to make it in, but the Directors need to set the example!
