First week in

January 12th, 2008

I’ve been at my new job for a week now so I thought I’d give a quick update. I turned up a little bit early on Monday, mainly because I expected it to take a while to get through security (the place I work is on a big research site) but it only took 5 minutes.

I was supplied with a new laptop and a temporary desk to sit at. I spent the day trying to get my laptop working as I like it and also reading up on what different parts of the business do. I got my proper desk on Friday and I’ve got most things set up as I like them now. Getting my laptop working with the docking station meant some playing around with the X configuration. I might post some more on that later when I get chance.

A sleepless night

January 2nd, 2008

Tonight I can’t get to sleep, so I thought I’d do an update.

Christmas was nice. I got quite a few bits of clothing, some jumpers and trousers and also my annual supply of socks and pants!

It was great to see people over Christmas, especially those who I don’t get to see often. I went for a couple of walks over Christmas, including a particularly memorable walk from the Elephant and Castle in Holmfirth up to the Fleece in Holme in the pouring rain. When we got there we found that there was no room for us to eat. Doh!

I played a couple of gigs with the band. The first at Hepworth Village Hall;

and the second at the Picturedrome in Holmfirth. We had a great PA and light set up and an extremely helpful engineer running everything for us;

I love the new BBC iPlayer. The previous incarnation was Windows and IE-only. This version works on my Mac and Linux machines. I’m trying to cure my insomnia by watching some old “Have I Got News For You”.

I’m thinking of heading back down to Ipswich tomorrow. There is snow forecast for Thursday and Friday so it’s probably best to get down before that starts.

My last day

December 19th, 2007

Today is my last day at @Road. I’m going to be starting work at iO Global on the 7th January 2008.

I’m going to be heading back up to my parent’s place in Yorkshire this evening and will be in Holmfirth all over Christmas. So if anyone wants to meet up whilst I am there, give me a call!

No countdown any more.

I handed my notice in at @Road today. My last day will be 4th January, although I’m on annual leave from the 20th December onwards. I’m going to miss lots of people, but I’m excited about the new job. I’m going to be a Senior Systems Administrator at iO Global.
