Day Two

and no, I'm not planning on having a numbered post from here to eternity describing my office experiences. But I did have to mention the extreme "culture shock" I suffered yesterday - it's harder than I expected getting back into the swing of meetings, task lists and email routing, even harder than it is to get up to speed on a new compiler and new device API's. I was outdoors exactly once yesterday between the hours of eight and five - and that was going to get lunch, which will be come a regular habit as opposed to eating at the company cafeteria for that very reason.

And trying to get into code without a cat on my lap, a cigarette in my hand, a dog (or two) at my elbow and a peacock screeching on the front porch was more unnerving than I ever imagined it could be. But I'll get used to it, and deal with it. Because it's making all the things I truly love possible.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
