I’ve spend the last week reading tutorial material and getting to know ArcGiS applications. Never before have I seen such a complex object model . It claims to have around 1,500 classes and 1,600 interfaces. The object diagrams for ease of use, come in around 30 pdf documents. I have to refresh my knowledge of UML diagrams. I haven’t really used it since I left university. The previous job was to open up Visual Studio and start writing applications, obviously after the analysis and design stages! The work I am going to do has no user interface design, reporting and very less database work.

So far I have enjoyed this place, team mates sound good. It is a young team. There is a geek in the team to learn a lot from! The OO coding that I will be doing sounds exciting. It should give me some real work experience with OO coding!!

Got my new pc today but it was not what was ordered and looks like it will not be replaced too Got introduced to a lot of staff yesterday and today and don’t remember any names except one person who is working on SharePoint. My boss is spend half the day trying to figure out how to get our work space clutter free. Workmates seem good, four guys and one girl (Vietnamese). One of the guys prides himself as a geek, looking forward to meeting him.

My boss was sending me links to houses he thinks I should have a look at to buy. All around 450k to 500K I will need to spend a lot of time this weekend looking at open houses.

Missing Megan, Henry and Lama. Hope they join me soon!

Drove to Canberra this afternoon to start work tomorrow. I’ve never seen th freeway as busy as today. All the stops on the freeway where so crowded that I did not feel like stopping anywhere. I stopped for lunch and had to join a long queue

Anyway, I am in Canberra, in the shed at my brothers place. He is not home and not picking up his mobile Lucky I have my eeepc, I can at least browse the net!

Starting work tomorrow! Hope it is a nice place to work for and hope the team I work with are nice people.

For tonight, I hope my brother is back home because all my work clothes are in his house.

After being jobless for a couple of weeks, I finally accepted an offer in Canberra. Megan has been away all along my job hunt and it has been quite boring without her around. She is coming back tomorrow night! We will have to soon start planning on moving to Canberra. Hopefully Megan finds a job there easily. Last time, she got an iPod shuffle from a recruiter but returned it because she declined the offer. It’ll be nice if she gets an iPhone this time!

My new job is going to be as an Analyst Programmer working on some GIS system! It will be good to gain experience in something I have not worked with before. They also use SharePoint for their intranet! so I will still get to work on SharePoint!

Time to look for new soccer club in Canberra. Wonder what the standard of the game is in Canberra.

Hope the move to Canberra goes smooth.

Off to pick up Megan from Melbourne tomorrow. She bought me an Asus eepc!!!!
