Dullsville, mainly...

Not much happening, just a couple of things. Look for Bite Latvija to announce some kind of financial figures toward the end of the week (together with user numbers, that should be interesting). Also, in the medium term, look for Baltcom, the cable TV, internet and voice telephony operator to ramp up its internet speeds, at least for those customers on or near its optical network. Good international speeds should be available via Baltcom Fiber, the owner of a trans-Baltic optical cable with humungous capacity (most of it dark).
Also, a major US company has set up a global software development center here for its specific products. Now they are hiring for a major expansion. You use one of these products very often (outside Latvia) when paying for something. It makes sure the payment clears securely plus some important data is captured for other interested parties (such as the retailer). I am not naming name because I learned that one of my rival reporters (on a paper that sorta competes with my day job newspaper) actually reads the blog :). Good for you, Elizabete :).
I will publish details a) once my paper does the story or b) if they spike it for whenever, as is often the case...
