Next week I’ll be taking a week off work to do precisely nothing. Really looking forward to it as it will be the first significant break since around Feb or so. Not sure what I’ll do, catch up on some games or something I think.

Besides that things are good. Waiting to see how all this iPhone stuff pans out after selling my 3GS in anticipation of the 4G only to hear APple dropped the ball. It’s entirely possible I’ll consider an Android device at this rate. As it is I’ll be buying off contract and I might continue doing that for the foreseeable future given it allows me to sell off and get new devices at a more frequent rate. Given I like new toys it’s something I’m going to consider.

In a month or so for one week. Not to do anything…actually just to do nothing.

A day late but the product I’ve been working on has shipped. Felt relieved to get it out the door and as an added bonus a higher up said it was “impressive” that I had come in on the weekend and run most of the exit tests to save time on Monday so I was glad to get that from someone in a more senior position. Anyway glad with how things went.

Aye!

And as is to be expected we missed the ship date. Still will meet the original deadline but, we’re that close.

On another note I’ll update my media library sometime soon with an updated games list. That things months behind and I have a fair few to add. I might add the last figurine or two I placed on order now also.

edit: Ouch, the games section is years old…2006 or so. I’ll use the same script as the figures I think and make it all a bit nicer.

Today was a nice long day, 8AM to 9PM although it admittedly went faster than expected. Anyway reason for it is we are on the verge of shipping a product so that’s pretty exciting. I know I complain about work every now and again but I should consider myself somewhat fortunate given I was able to land the job 18 or 24 months out from finishing Uni and have been able to play a decent role in what will be my third major version release not to mention the various service packs and code I have contributed to other projects than my main one.

Not that I have anything insightful to add other than I’m glad Uni makes you get work experience as I think it’s been a good head start. That and the release will make me really appreciate this weekend. Booyah!
