I've been hibernating a bit over the last few weeks - time to chill out. New Year's was nice and chilled a few of us for dinner and drinks at Barry's & Eoin's.

Then much to my dismay, wires were crossed and my start date with my new job got pushed forward a week and a half :( but its all good. These things happen. Unforutnately though I did have to cancel my snowboarding trip to Briancon - I figured better to make a good impression. So my new job is
Performance Engineer for
Sun Microsystems. Its a steep learning curve but so far so good.
