I started working at Bibsys, which is a company that develops library systems.
Teknobyen

This means I can no longer spend the days in my underwear, watching Macgyver dvd’s and playing Neverwinter Nights (I have somehow managed to loose my save games, so my once proud half-orc barbarian is no longer… but there is a seriously overpowered lvl 8 wizard that has taken his place).

I’m also happy to say that “everything” at Bibsys is Java, so my chances of being haunted by php are virtually gone :)

The curse of the fourth floor
the First time I whored my programming services out for money was over at Uninet, I was working on the 4th floor.
My first full time job was over at Intrapoint, where I worked on the 4th floor.
The job after Intrapoint was over at Market Monitor / Betradar, also here I stayed on the 4th floor.. then I was moved to another office which was ALSO on the 4th floor.

Now I’m working at Bibsys, at the 4th floor.. spooky :o

The reason being that I got a much better offer from another company here in Trondheim named Betradar. The job pays better, and have more Java which I find much more interesting, and I’ll be starting February 1st.

A funny side note:)
A friend told me that some people where I currently work got offended by the Christmas greeting I sent out, which included a link to the song: So long and thanks for all the fish. I’m not sure if this guy is pulling my leg or not, but allegedly some people at work interpreted the lyrics rather verbatim and seem to be under the impression of the following:

  • I have tried to warn them of impending doom
  • I am intellectually superior (well, many of them were PHP “programmers”…) :D
  • The world or the company is about to be destroyed (Damn Vogons and their galactic bypasses)
  • Despite tuna nets I liked most of them, especially the toddlers
  • If I could have a single wish, I would have a tasty fish (common vegetarian craving)
  • My biggest regret is not learning how to sing

I guess that’s what you get for sending out a goodbye / merry Christmas message as a Douglas Adams reference. Actually I’m pretty sure the guy was just trying to play a trick on me (which I kinda fell for, I must admit), as I find it hard to believe that my current co-workers are so extremely imaginative / paranoid :)

This is the third time I take the damned class, and previously the percentage who failed the exam was 76% and 77%, needless to say the exam is considered pretty hard and I’m very pleased with the result (a C), this means I only have 1 class left until I get my Bachelors degree in Information Technology.

I also started working full time (100%) since coming back from the Holidays and I really like working at Intrapoint compared to life as a student :)
