Tomorrow I'm going to fly out to New York, which
will be interesting enough. I finally got an internet
connection worked out here, just dial-up of course.
I'll be hopping on the local bus, switching in downtown,
and ending up on the airport express to Bush International.
I met with my manager, Mark, yesterday. We went out to
lunch and had a good chat about what we are going to be
doing and how he wants to go about it. I am just stunned
how much my ideas about this are lined up with his.
This is, of course, a good thing. Yesterday was an exercise
in frustration over a technical matter, and I'll be working to
clean our work and build environment up a bit. These are as
usual new details for me, but I'm coming up to speed fairly
quickly. I was given an initial assignment to create a testing
application, just to acquaint me with the systems.
It is raining very heavily today and was last night. Lots of
lightning and thunder. I have to go get something to eat,
and it looks like the rain has abated for now.
