Got a date

We have a potential move-in date now: June 10th. Both Cheryl and I are very excited to be moving in less than a month. Hopefully the whole process will go smoothly without delays. We’ll see.

I’ve basically settled in my routine for getting to/from work. I’ve still got some settling in to do with my actual job though. I think the next couple of weeks will make a big difference. It’s mostly just a matter of remembering where bits of code are and how to run the processes and then I should be sorted. I’m looking forward to making some real contributions to some exciting projects. 🙂

Cheryl’s been stressed about doing various things for the new apartment. I feel kinda bad about not being able to do very much, but I’m just a tenant. It’s not my place to interfere with her and her family. I’ll be glad when everything’s settled down a bit more.

Getting settled

I’m starting to get things together at work now.

I’ve got a computer to call my own and I’ve taken in my keyboard, a new mouse, and my headphones. I’ve started to set up my environment so my keyboard shortcuts work. I’ve switched the Caps Lock and Escape keys so I can use vim comfortably again. It messes everything up for other people who try to use my computer though.

I am looking forward to getting to work tomorrow and getting some proper code written. I haven’t written any for a while and I’m starting to wonder if I’ll be able to remember how to do it.

There’s a barbecue at work tomorrow afternoon after an all-hands meeting. It’ll be quite nice to see people ever-so-slightly out of the work environment, even if it is just in the car park. 🙂

I’ve started reading on the tube so it’s making the journey seem faster, and helping me get through my massive reading list. I’m looking forward to making some serious progress over the next few months. For now I’ll just be quite pleased to finish A Room With a View and then maybe renew my efforts of defeating Ulysses.

So yeah, basically things are going well. 😀
