A new Start
Its Monday morning, and for the first time in months I am on my way to work. It is just a temperary contract thru the end of september but it is something. I will be doing some coding for an IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) device in Russian. Sounds fun huh?
Obvously I did not get the job with Microsoft (Im not sure I really wanted it anyway) but the trip to Seattle was fun. Got to see some old friends and the whole trip was paid for my MS!
I finally ordered a new computer the other day, It should be here in a few more days, I am WAY excited so let me geek out for a second.
The Specs:
Dell Inspiron E1705
17.1" Widscreen Ultrasharp WUXGA+ Monotor
Core Duo 2400 (1.83Ghz, 667Mhz FSB)
2GB 667Mhz Ram
100GB 7200RPM HD
256MB ATI Radion Mobility X1400
8X CD/DVD-RW
Windows Vista Beta 2 (will install when I get the system)
and I got a KILLER deal on it too. Saved $900 by using the Dell outlet, Look into it if you need a new computer soon...
Well Thats all the time I have for now. Hopefully now that I have something to do during the day I will be a bit more motiviated to keep this up.
Its good to be back...

Hey, congrats on the new gig. So how _is_ your Russian, anyway?
Good luck on your first day!! I told you I would comment.
My Russian... Hmm other than what I know from Hunt for Red October... not that good.
Sarah, Thanks! Now just keep it up.
Congratulations! As I'm sure you can guess, I'm disappointed but very happy for you. Not so sure you wanted the job at Microsoft? I doubt that. :) See ya later.

Hey, welcome back to the blogosphere! And congrats on the new job!
Even though it's a bit belated, welcome back. We missed you man. I've been taking on your role as absentee poster for a bit now since I too got laid off.
