Once again, i show of
Once again, i show of my utter uselessness, when it comes to consistency of any kind.
i guess there is only so many times i can claim that i'm too busy. what a lame excuse. well i've been to london for a business meeting last week, and have been pretty busy in the 'what-am-i-going-to-do-in-the-future' area. also my laptop died on me, which leaves me without a home computer at the moment....
yes, isn't it incredible, a geek with no clock-cycles :-)
i've more or less decided to find myself a minimum hardware computer, and install red hatlinux
that should be happening some time next week, just before i'm off to mexico with signe, for about 4 weeks.
yippeeeeeeeekaiyae-mf! that is one thing i'm definetely looking forward to, and something that takes a bit of the pain out of not knowing what to do with myself....
while i'm, on that subject, loyal readers will know that i've long been discussing (mostly with myself) the possibility of a .com thing-a-ma-jig, with a former colleague and friend.
that's no longer really in the books, since i just got this gut feeling that it was getting a little too ambitious for me. i guess i'm a chicken at heart :-)
however that doesn't mean i'll be sticking around here for ever. i mean, i started in this company when there were about 20 people at the copenhagen office. we've rounded 100 now, and the culture is dissipating into the floor. mostly there are a few people here now, in central and influential positions, who just don't seem to have that basic respect for different people with different backgrounds, that would make such a multi-disciplinary workplace the place to be....
instead it's becoming my department, and isolated island in a large company. we have fun, we kick-ass sometimes, but we're not really a part of the whole multi-disciplinary shebang!
wouldn't it be nice to work in a small company again. a geek haven, a technical web-development house, doing tech consulting, adn development, focusing on the .com market, influencing the whole technical decision making process. working and fighting for open source, eXtreme programming environment. having the courage to try and correct some of the mistakes that come with a large-scale waterfall or iterative type work-process. focusing on the competance that is technical partnering with other small companies that supplement our own competance. but most importantly, feding profits back into training and education, and having fun, fun, fun.....
i guess, at the end of the day, when the clock strikes 00.00 anything goes!
