A story
All of NodeOne Stockholm were stuck in Chicago when our plane got canceled, and the next morning we were all waiting in the lobby to go back to the airport and Johan wasn't there. It was like 15 minutes after checkout time and we were wondering what was going on. Finally he showed up and said 'Sorry I'm late. I recorded Views screencasts for 4.5 hours last night and I had to synch them to Dropbox this morning so they would survive in case the plane crashed.'
Johan is awesome.
Agree
Ha, Johan is awesome +1.
