First Day of Work

Well, back to reality! I spent the first full day in the office today. A good group of people and it seems as though I will fit in well. Had lunch with the IT group today and several meetings with my business clients.

I've brought home a test wireless setup from the office. This place is funny....High Speed access is NEVER unlimited in bandwidth. When you buy, you buy GB download per month, like 8 GB or 20 GB. You can get DSL or Cable, but they also have this city-wide wireless setup. The office had one, so I brought it home to test. I'm getting 200K download, which ain't great, but better than dial-up. We'll see.

I had a great day Sunday. Took my first mass-transit trip and headed about 10K away to Bondi Beach. A nice place with a 6K walk along the ocean. It was a beautiful day and I made it there and back with no transit snafus! :)

The running is great so far. Plenty of great parks everywhere to run around. I'm back on my normal schedule of 8 or so miles. People seem to work more like 9-5 here, so I might have to turn into a morning runner! It gets dark at like 5:30 so evening runs will be in the dark for sure.

I posted some new pics. Check them out on the right.

I am enjoying the blog, Jim! Keep the info and pics coming. We had the pleasure of Delane's company yesterday - it was great to catch up, but we missed you (especially when we were moving a rather large, VERY heavy swing set - ask D about her workout!)

Take Care!
