Originally published on the Server Density blog and not written by me, but archived here for history.

- Building the Server Density London office – part 1 ()
Originally published on the Server Density blog. We’re in the process of setting up a London office. Currently our team works remotely from home, which works well for engineering but we thought it might be more difficult as we start to hire more design, marketing and accounts people. Nobody is being required to work from the office (although […]
- How much does it cost to start a tech company? ()
One year ago I started playing with some Python code to create our server monitoring tool, Server Density, and formed the company in April 2009 (on the 6th, specifically to coincide with the day the tax year starts), but how much did it actually cost me?
