Most folks can only count on death and taxes. If you are managing a startup, then you get a bonus — you can count on death, taxes and at least one system failure a week.

It’s Saturday in Shanghai and that makes it time to celebrate another victory at RightSite. We completed another week of productive work under substandard conditions. We successfully produced a our latest newsletter, got about 90 new property listings added to our directory, and have gained considerable ground on completing our RightSite Pro features without [...]

Chinese proofreading: we are still revising and proofreading the Chinese version of the site
Value lists: we have fixed the [...]
