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.
