I thought I'd post a shot of how my Mo is going one week in (the photo was taken one week in, even if this post is a little late). Yes, I know it looks like the goatee is coming back, but it's just shadow - the sides of the mo go straight down, and that's

From about the age I was 17, I decided that I didn't like how I looked clean-shaven. So I grew a goatee. I much preferred it over smooth skin. It had to shaved off when I was at school - I want to private school where one of the rules was that the guys

I just had lunch with MattyT . Matty was probably one of the first ever subscribers to my blog - first to admit it anyway :) For a C++ person, he's a pretty nice guy. He certainly dresses a lot neater than a lot of C++ guys I could name. He obviously

I'm stuck in this crowded, too-hot-or-too-cold city for the next 6-8 weeks. I'm going home for the weekend, but Monday - Thursday nights are available. While I certainly don't want to live here permanently, I do want to take the chance to catchup with

When I found out last week that I'd be working in Melbourne for 6 to 8 weeks, the first thing I did was work out my flights. For the first 2 weeks, I'm flying out of Canberra on Sunday evening, returning on Friday evening. Simple enough - yes? Not when

Well, I knew it would happen. Last night I fired up Kingdom Hearts 2 somewhere between 8 and 8.30. I turned it off so that I could go to bed at 1 o'clock this morning. My thumbs hurt, my neck hurts, and I'm tired. Man, is it worth it though. This game

I think I can really get to like this virtual office lifestyle. This morning I'm sitting at a bus stop waiting for my bus to arrive. I was going to be spending my day at home finishing off a prototype to prove that you can execute windows powershell scripts

One thing I forgot to mention before . I'm a Canberran. For those that don't know, Canberra might be the capital of Australia, but it's quite a small city. There's not many people compared to Sydney and Melbourne, and it's a very spread out place with

That's probably not really a word, but it should be. Today I'm at induction - basically it's a chance to finish off doing all the little crappy things that you don't want to do, like write a bio and work out what phone to get, and learn about how the

I'm about to head off to the airport to take a flight to Melbourne. The afternoon will be spent sitting in Dad's office with my laptop, happily coding away until it's time to follow him home after work. The only pain is going to be the lack of internet

Adjusting to working from home is a strange experience. In the last couple of weeks I've been getting used to it, although it still freaks me out that when I finish for the day I only have to walk to the next room to sit down on the couch and watch

The assimilation was completed today . First I got my shirts with the Readify logo badged on them. Then I got my laptop, with Readify logo splashed across it. Eariler today my mobile was ported to the Readify company plan. And now what appeared in the

Week 2 at Readifiy is going well so far. I actually checked some code into the company TFS repository yesterday and today, which is quite neat - so far I haven't heard too many complaints :) But more importantly this week is toy week. Yesterday my

Yesterday was my first 'official' day with Readify. I'm not sure I've really started yet. There's a couple things I need to look at this week, and I was about to get started when I thought about what was currently installed on my machine. Besides all
