things learned on my first day at the new job

• eclipse is positively snappy on a 8-core workstation
• lotus notes still exists
• there is such thing as too big a monitor. So far, not liking the ginormous widescreen. Would much rather have 2 or more 19"-20" monitors.

good presentation on TDD

daemon

Just finished Daemon by Daniel Suarez. Very good, devoured it in a day this weekend. Not sure if I liked how it ended -- very clearly setting up the sequel, which isn't due until 2010.
