The day after yesterday

So I've been employed for a whole 24 hours now. I should've posted last night, but I couldn't be arsed. Now that I'm fresh as a daisy I can tell you all about my first day at Ideaworks 3D.

I got in "early" just before 10am, so the office was a little quiet (around about 5 people were in) which was probably a good thing. I got set up on my new desktop (a dual P4 3.0GHz no less) and have started to look at the Symbian/Nokia SDK, getting a little peek into the code here which I far from understand at the moment. It's been cool so far, but setting up a bank account and getting a place to rent is still hanging over my head.

I guess it wasn't exactly an exciting or hectic day, but is was a very promising start. I'm sort of supposed to be a network programmer, but I will be working on actual games, even an original title for my new employer. There are a lot of other new starters, and there will be some more to come as well. People think we'll be outgrowing our current premises, and from the looks of it that'll be quite soon.

Paul's on the verge of getting a job for Portcullis which sounds really really good, but it's up in the far north west of London so our house hunting has shifted a little more north. It's a real pity since Wandsworth looked very nice (I was about to say really nice, but I got a little self conscious about using "really" a lot). Hopefully Ealing Broadway is just as nice, and since I'm at work Paul will be doing most of the inspecting ^_^ . If you can organise some evening viewings Paul I'd be happy to come along too.
