I completed my first professional presentation in front of professionals and academics alike.  This was my first presentation where it mattered and not in front of students.  We had put in over 800 hours on the project and it all came together with five parts and in a little over half an hour we provided our best recommendations and put our best foot forward.  The client and the audience seemed satisfied.  The one thing that was disappointing was a lack of questions.  I was truly prepared to answer as much as I could for them but now I’ll never know if I could.

It’s the experience that really matters here.  It’s one more step I’ve taken in the world.  A little bit more experience a lot more confidence.

Mobile Restaurant Ordering (Finally) Hits The App Store

In the last week, a pair of new iPhone applications have appeared on the App Store that put the menus of hundreds of restaurants at users’ fingertips. Dubbed GrubHub and CityMint, both applications allow users to order food on the go from online menus, buying entrees, appetizers, and drinks on the fly without the hassle of human interaction.

Our appetites were first whetted three weeks ago, when Chipotle released an official app that let users build their burritos from their iPhone. Unfortunately, the application was pulled down only a few hours after release as a throng of users overwhelmed the app’s servers. The Chipotle app is still missing in action, but these new offerings should be able to hold us over.

At first glance, the two applications seem pretty similar: they both let users browse through the menus of restaurants in their vicinity, adding food items to a virtual cart until they submit their orders. But a closer inspection reveals a few key differences.

GrubHub seems to focus exclusively on restaurants that deliver, so most of its options offer fare like pizza, Chinese, and Mexican food (of course, there are some exceptions). CityMint offers a catalog of restaurants that deliver, but it has also partnered with hundreds of popular restaurants to allow for pick-up. CityMint CEO Frank Kuo says that the company sifted through Yelp for the most frequently and popular restaurants in each region, seeking out the ones that would integrate with their system.

As far as usability goes, both applications seem to work well. CityMint’s interface is more polished and Apple-like, while GrubHub looks more like a web app (though it is native). But GrubHub has the edge on user reviews, which are displayed alongside each restaurant (CityMint doesn’t seem to have reviews integrated at all).

In the end, the app you use will likely come down to which one has restaurants available in your area. CityMint has a larger coverage area than GrubHub and includes a wider variety of locations that offer take-out, but it also costs $2.99 (GrubHub is free). We should also note that there are plenty of web-based applications that offer mobile ordering, but the user experience of these is generally not nearly as good as it is on native apps.

Mientras espero a que se haga la comida, os cuento que hoy no he ido a trabajar. Tras el bombardeo de esta noche, me ha costado dormirme mucho y después de una cabezadita que no habrá llegado a la media hora (y cuando ya era mi hora de levantarme para ir a trabajar) me volvía a picar todo el cuerpo otra vez.

Así que, he llamado a mi jefe, y le he dicho que me quedaba en casa. Como mi trabajo lo hago todo por internet y tengo acceso al correo de la empresa desde aquí, puedo hacer lo mismo que haría allí. La diferencia es que cada hora me levanto de la silla a embadurnarme de crema. Hoy estoy probando la que me compré ayer de Natur Nuá. Es muy pringosa, pero parece que me calma más. De todas formas, necesito una crema que no manche tanto, porque si no no voy a dar abasto con la ropa.

Y como no he ido a trabajar, me estoy haciendo la comida. Arroz con pescado. Ayer me hice un lomo de salmonete a la plancha para llevarme al trabajo, con una ensalada. Como no tengo microondas en casa, se me ha ocurrido que lo podía aprovechar en un arroz. Así que he puesto un poco de aceite de sésamo en la cazuela, le he echado un puerro y cuando se ha dorado le he añadido el pescado, el agua, y cuando ha empezado a hervir, el arroz.

Tiene buena pinta y huele muy bien. Rico. A un arroz de verdad. A falta de cebolla, lo del puerro creo que ha sido todo un punto. Le quedan unos minutillos… y ya tengo hambre. A ver cuánto me dura…
