It's finally come to pass and I've just spent a week working with my new employers. I have yet to receive my office and building passcards and there doesn't seem to be a central search engine for the raging torrent of important and semi-important websites/resources that I'd need to survive - but it's still been a revelation so far.

Talk about travelling into the bowels of the beast.

I've joined M1cr0s0ft. I will only officially have signed over my soul on September 15th, but yeah.

...where have I been? Mmm, yeah (annoying boss in Office Space ( Read more... )

I think that I've gotten used to the Sydney office. The cacophony of Australian accents sometimes rising, sometimes falling. My department counterparts in particular tend to be rather quiet though. They seem rather reserved in comparison with the Tier 2 guys who are a rather chatty lot ( Read more... )

It's pretty ironic for me to go all the way to the city and not find a single cybercafe or wifi hotspot and to come back, walking from Macquarie Centre along Talavera Road to find an open network - on a lark, sitting at a bus stop. In front of my temporary office, no doubt ( Read more... )
