Something with buffaloes...

Hello everyone! Today is a special day because my brother is turning 24. Yippie! Either way, I started the day by getting on a very crowded bus and having to wait in the office lobby for my colleagues to arrive. They couldn’t get on the bus; it was that crowded. In the lobby, I read about twenty pages of a book I'm reading called “The 48 Laws of Power.”

Afterwards, we went to the office, where we bumped into Mark Kelly, and he told us that we could work in the office for about 20 minutes, but that he was recording a podcast at 10 o’clock. So, at 10 o’clock, we relocated to the other office, where we continued trying to figure out how to put the website called “VettaHire” online.

After about three calls with our server provider, we found out how to do it, so we can officially start working on this website. The idea behind VettaHire is to upload your CV so that the website can analyze your skills and what you find fun and are good at, helping you find the job that suits you best.

But VettaHire is more than just job matching. We also want to show people how AI is changing industries, not just in hiring but everywhere. It’s automating jobs, making things more efficient, and even improving healthcare. For example, AI-driven health monitoring could help detect and prevent diseases like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, which happens when people inhale too much dust. Pretty cool, right?

We were searching for a way to convert the websites we made as designs into WordPress. In our search for a solution to convert HTML code into WordPress, we experienced a moment of serendipity: we found a way to not only convert it into HTML, but we could also code in this plugin and use coding languages such as CSS and JavaScript.

We have come a long way in our research, but "buffaloes don't care about the rain.” Research is the most important thing; it’s similar to this quote: “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”

At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, we got the great news that the WordPress for [aiawards.ie](http://aiawards.ie/) was updated, so in 24 hours we could start changing the website and making it something of our own that we could be proud of. As we wrapped up our work, I couldn’t help but feel that we were setting our course like a ship with its mainsail fully raised, ready to sail into new opportunities.

We spent the last hours at work making the AI awards-website responsive so that if you open the website on different devices the website still looks good and preforms equal.

Then we ate dinner it was potato stew.

Thanks for reading
