It's Been Too Long!
Posted by Chigley on 05/18/2009 @ 20:48:39 PST |
Not posted anything here for ages now. I am a lazy litle man I suppose. Actually, in all honesty, it's the opposite of that. I'm just very, very busy.
I am now almost a year into my "new" job. It's going well, although the sparkly, shiny gloss has now well and truly rubbed off, and I have seen what's going on behind the curtain, so to speak. It's very much a typical big company. Very corporate-y, complete with politics and all the usual problems. The words; Large, slow and unwieldy come to mind 
Apart from the day job, I'm also doing tons of web apps for a little web dev company. Loads of database programming and stuff. I'm also working on my forst iPhone game and 2D sprite engine. You can see a little demo of it here ..

My eyesight is getting progressively worse. I just had to buy a new keyboard because I could no longer see my stylish Saitek anymore. I now have a large, 70s style beige monstrosity sitting in front of me. Each key takes several minutes to fully depress. I am horrified that nearly all keyboards have black keys nowadays. Oh well, such is life!
Well, that's it for me for another 6 months  |

One Eyed Doll
Posted by Chigley on 07/13/2008 @ 09:23:08 PST |
I got an email out of the blue the other day, from an old friend. Her name is Kimberly, and she is really cool. You may remember her from Steelgirl.com. She was the young lady who drank nothing but carrot juice to see if she'd turn orange. She dissapeared for a few years and suddenly (for me), there she is again, tearing it up on stage as One Eyed Doll. The drummer is JP, who runs Geekass.com
Check out her website and take a look at some of her YouTube videos.

Day 2 ..
Posted by Chigley on 07/08/2008 @ 19:01:34 PST |
SO I just finished my 2nd day at my new job.
The first day was called "orientation", and consisted of sitting mostly in a room with 50 other people, watching corporate videos and propaganda. It was fine though, and quite easy. I met a few good people, and ate some nice pastries.
The second day (today) was more "orientation", this time focussed on the group I am actually working for. This only lasted half the day. When I finally left the conference room around lunchtime, I was surprised by my friend Bob, who kidnapped me from the HR people, and took me out to lunch. All very irregular, and greatly appreciated.
Lunch was excellent. No, wait, lunch was more than that. It was probably some of the best food I have every eaten. The place was a small, mom and pop Greek place. Good, cheap, made-from-scratch food. I had a falafel pita sandwich, and like I said, it was truly a life altering experience.
The afternoon was spent talking to lots of people, getting a feel for what my work will entail. The scope is quite breath-taking. I am excited. I am in charge. Muhahahaha!
The company I work for is a big corporation. They employ 140,000 people worldwide. The division I work for employs around 3000 of those. The building I work in holds around 400 of those. ALthough these numbers are large, and would suggest a degree of Borg-ness, it seems far from that. Everyone I met today was so full of energy and excited about what they were doing or a part of. It's a really fresh and creative environment, and far removed from the place I just left.
So far, so good! |
