I'm an office experience consultant at a fast growing, venture-funded startup that you've more than likely heard of. Right now I am managing the Caffeine Portfolio and am using arduinos at each coffee pot ( http://www.deferredprocrastination.co.uk/blog/2013/coffeebot... ) in order to monitor the quantity. I wired these up to a node.js backend which will take the quantities of each pot and check them against a thresho…

That's cool! By "TaskRabbit" do you mean an internal tool - or do you mean the marketplace, and it just happens to be someone on your team?

Haskell and Postgres for my main project right now. Haskell and sqlite for a small auxilliary project.

Hello, just wondered if you've seen this that I released earlier this week:

https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/haskell-opaleye

Feel free to send me an email (address linked in the README) if you have any questions about the project.

I did, and it looks really cool! Probably not going to migrate either of these projects, in the short term, though. The first, because it would be a large undertaking; the other, because it does almost nothing with the database - all of one table, only a couple trivial selects, so my focus there is elsewhere for now. At some point I definitely plan to dig deeper into OpalEye, and might wind up porting one or both medium-to-long term. Though actually, if you want to scope things out and see how hard you think migration might be, that first project is Snowdrift.coop
