Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

New Job

Started the new job yesterday. So far so good. Three miles/10 minutes is definitely nicer than 40 miles/75 minutes, especially in the age of $3 gas.

The office is located in Palo Alto's "California Avenue Business District" which on one hand is good because there are a bunch of restaurants (not to mention a Radio Shack in walking distance :geek: ), but not so good in that parking is restricted to two or three hours at a time. The company reimburses the cost of a parking permit, but the wait time to obtain one is currently eight weeks. So until then I either get to move the car every couple of hours, park in the residential areas, or ride my bike to work.
That last is looking pretty good, but since I haven't been on the bike in two or three years it'll need an overhaul first.

Meanwhile I'm missing my corner window cube a bit; here I'm in a corner cube, but the corner is formed by two interior walls and the closest window is across the office. Nothing has come close to beating the 11th floor corner office in the Bayview Building when Network ICE was still Network ICE.

We spent the weekend at Disneyland, and I actually felt motivated to write a trip report.
