Cycle Commuting: Day One (Part One)
Oh crap, what have I gotten myself into? Day One was not so fun, it wasn't any faster than catching the bus and I walked my bike up one of the steep parts in Neutral Bay. Actually it's not even over yet, because I'm at work and still have to get home! It's a combination of not having a huge amount of riding fitness (even though I have decent cardio fitness), a bit of stress due to it being the first time I've ridden in the city, and pushing it a bit hard during the first "easier" part and not leaving myself enough for the hills.
My new toy.
I'll see how I go on the way home, I'll take it a bit easier for sure (especially since the first part is all downhill to the water at Neutral Bay, but then there's a big hill up to Milsons Point). I think at this stage, until I get a bit fitter, I'll stick to every second day to ride in too.

I've noticed a lot of articles recently about the future of application development and there's a lot of talk about Flex in there. It could just be synchronicity - ie. because Flex is basically my new job I suddenly notice Flex everywhere - or it could just be Year of the Flex. The people at my new employer believe so.

After six and a half years at my current employer, and 8 years doing Domino development, in 3 weeks I say goodbye to the platform. I started on R4.5 doing Intranet development as a graduate out of uni, having never used or seen Notes / Domino before. This was pretty much right on 8 years ago, January 1999. Since then I have moved through R5 and R6, doing web applications and web content management systems in Notes / Domino as my primary work. It's been fun, but it's also been frustrating being stuck with such a crappy development environment.

Where I work there is a single Christmas Party each year for all the Sydney staff (about 1,000 of them), rather than each department having their own party. The venue and "theme" are usually kept secret until a Flash based invite goes out to all staff via our Intranet, whose purpose is to reveal both and provide a way to RSVP. This invite is usually done by the company we use for all of our web graphics work, however this year I was asked if I wanted to give it a go.

I've been working at the Sofitel Wentworth Hotel in Sydney, which is a part of Accor, for more than 2 months. I find the place very nice and friendly. I think after living in Sydney for almost 4 years and working in a lot of jobs, this one is one of the best. So finally I hope I can stay longer and get along with everyone. This is a place I want to have a career in the future.
