Yeahhhhhhhhh! I finally sniffed a wireless network from home! I’m going to try to make this quick before I get dropped again.

First up: It’s hard to check my personal stuff at work. Not because they restrict it, just because I forget while I am using all the internal mail stuff. Don’t be offended if it takes me awhile to respond.

About work: IT IS AWESOME. My team is cool… a bunch of admins…. that all are appropriately admins. I have not started on any serious projects yet, but this is reasonable considering it was only my second day.

What my days have been like so far: Today I was able to wake-up, shower and commute in approx 45min. I’ve ridden the subway about 10 times so far, and tonight was the first time I was actually able to sit down — because I was on the slow train that nobody rides.

First shocking thing I heard: A fellow admin, “Well I used to use email client XYZ, but I get about 5000 emails a day now, and I can only manage that with gmail”. My reaction, “Wha wha wha?”. So, yeah, I’ve been playing with gmail to figure out how you can manage 5000 emails per day with it. I’m still learning, but it has vim style key-bindings and a really good search.

Going to a Gomez concert tomorrow and a Yankee’s game next week.

So far so good.
