Very busy with induction stuff today. I needed to get it all sorted, 'cos I start on a client site tomorrow! They don't hang about.
They've given me a horrid brick of a Dell to use. Well, to be fair, pre-Mac, I would have thought it was fine. But once you've experienced Mac, nothing else compares... And I have about a squillion user IDs to remember.
Everyone seems friendly, which is more than can be said for Lotus Notes...

Posted by: elp on March 19, 2007 07:32 PMCommiserations on the Lotus Notes thing. If it's any consolation, I believe they are completely re-writing it for Eclipse. Hang in there.
Posted by: Dave Pinn on March 19, 2007 08:44 PMWow. Lotus Notes. Everything I've heard about Thoughtworks made me think that they were a pretty smart crew. But knowing they use Lotus Notes completely overturns that impression :-)
Posted by: Dave Cross on March 20, 2007 10:19 AMAt the risk of making a fool of myself, can I just say that I use Lotus Notes at work and it's quite okay really. Now, I'm just your standard user and not trying to do anything tricksy with it, but since that is how most people use it, I can see the advantages. Plus, as I understand it, it is (a) cheaper than Outlook and (b) there are less viruses out there designed for it (also one of the big advantages that people bang on about for the Mac).
Any further thoughts?
I've used Notes. My commiserations. More importantly where is the client they are sending you to? Rude commuting is the order of the day in consulting land.
