After a year and a couple of months I’m going to leave Symbian Software Ltd. (London). It has been a very good experience as my first job in [en:UK]: a way to grow mainly, first as a [en:Man], then as a [en:Software Engineer]… and then professionally in general. A lot of interesting, inspiring, intelligent people (and a lot of NOT), that showed me “their way”: I took where it was worth it, not where it wasn’t… and left where I was able to. ...
… is being woke up at 8:32 on Sunday Morning, after you went to sleep around 02:30. Wake Up! Now! And not just woke up “politely”: your flatmate comes back at home and turn on his super-laudly-hard-techno-rock-massive-disruptive music. I leave at you to imagine the rest. Ah, by the way: just attached to his room, in the flat next to us, there a very Old-Style-Super-Polite English Couple. -_-
Run Forrest, Run! Finally, I broke the 3 miles limit: 3.36 miles (around 5.41 kms!!!). No picture this time: just click here. P.S. And the Best is yet to Come! ;-) .
I was on my way to the office (yes, on Sunday: I have stuff to do ;) ), when I see something that doesn’t look correct or “in the right place”. A Fox in the middle of Boundary Row!!! [](http://picasaweb.google.com/detronizator/AFoxInBoundaryRowO_o)[A Fox in Boundary Row O_o](http://picasaweb.google.com/detronizator/AFoxInBoundaryRowO_o) I don’t know, probably was bringing to my desk Firefox 3 RC1 ;) Yes yes, I know: Firefox is not a [en:Fox], but a Red Panda!!!.
This time the main topic was about “Developer Productivity”. It was one of the most funny I have ever attended: a couple of speaker were just “crazy” (but in a good way)! ;) If interested in knowing more, here is a transcript of the event: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dm58hwb_5f93zjrcd.
2.2 miles ~= 3.54 kms This time I was running with Luca: we pushed a bit the speed… but we practically died at the end of Blackfriars Bridge: still good, but next time I need to slow down to last more. Wish me good luck. I will run on the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge on July ;)
2.05 miles ~= 3.3 kms Today I took it a bit easy: John was with me and he has a problem with his knee, so we decided to do only 2 miles to start. Very beautiful day: looks like full summer, with a very strong sun smiling to us. We passed through a big festival/party/something in South Bank: a lot of people enjoying ice creams, watching shows and other stuff for kids. I tried to google for it, but I didn’t manage to know what’s going on up there.
2.79 miles ~= 4.49 kms Almost to 3 miles. On Monday we will see if I can do that.
