Jakobo's Personal Space
Touching Base
So, it's been a while, and it's about 7 min until I have to go upstairs for a product team meeting. I'm coming up on about 90 days here at LinkedIn, which is a great time to measure how you're feeling about the company and whatnot.

I have to say, not only is it pretty good, but there's a lot of bright people here and I'm learning about some hardcore architecture stuff. One of the Lead Architects at LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidraccah is absolutely amazing-smart. And I've been busting my hump over the last few weeks on my new project.

And to make things even better, I'm bringing my Scrum knowledge (the same iterative process that has helped Gaia) to LI. It's been good, damn good. That said, it's also been busy. I was out in NY this last weekend, and will be returning this coming weekend. Then, in March it's out to Austin for the yearly SXSW trip. Somewhere in there I'll be moving to my new place, and then, finally, around April, things will be quiet. Right? right?

Oh yeah, Fanime's coming up too. sweatdrop

The moving thing has been weighing in a bunch. On one hand, I can move to a nice place w/ friends, but forgo privacy in favor of lower cost.

On the other, I could get my own place.

Gah! (and now, off to meeting!)

I'm glad you're liking your new job. :3

I'm moving too. Luckily I can forgo much of the packing and sucker my other half into doing it. I hope you have someone you can sucker in on your end of things.

I just got through moving... And it was a pain. I only moved because the noise level in the complex I was in was unbearable... I prefer privacy over being surrounded by people.

How would you compare your new job with your job at Gaia?

Glad you are doing well.

@pirhan: Maybe kender if I bribe her with pixie sticks. I kid, I've probably got a few friends who'd be willing to help.

@Tsukabu: how's the new place?

@Toxic: I can't compare really. Gaia is awesome in its own way. smile

Nice to see you post again. Do you know how I can get in touch with 72squared (about PHP/programming stuff, not related to Gaia)? I've sent him an email or two at the address listed at his site, but he has not responded.
