Goooood Morning India!

and Heeeeeello blown out electrical wiring!


So showered and tried to blow dry my hair this morning and mananged to blow out the power in my room. Awesome. 


This is my room. It's pretty sweet. I will upload some pics of the apartment later.

Flight was fine, got in around midnight Monday morning, India time. Finally got out of customs and got my bags around 1:30 am. I met up with my taxi driver and when I got in the cab, I couldn't find the buckle to my seat belt. Taxi driver tells me "That's unnecessary" and proceeds to drive 85mph down the highway for an hour...without signaling when changing lanes...behind a giant bus. Needless to say, I think he is more badass than I am.

Also word of advice, when you are spraying bug spray on yourself, do not point the nozzle at your face. It is unpleasant. 

That's all for now. 

ThoughtWorks is like....

DisneyWorld for nerds!
Ok maybe more of a Dave & Busters for grown up nerds. 


One of the main reasons I've decided to take up blogging again is in anticipation for my upcoming trip to ThoughtWorks University in Bangalore India. I was suppose to have left on Tuesday but my business visa got delayed. Thankfully I got it yesterday so I am leaving tomorrow for India. My excitement level for this trip is pretty high up there, comparable to first day of college, graduation day of college, first paying freelance gig, first metal show where I got to jump in the mosh pit...yep life changing events =)


This has been my first week at ThoughWorks, most of which I've spent at the "beach" learning Java and Testing as part of Agile Software Development. The people here are super friendly and talented. I got to sit next to expert developer and recent TWU grad SgHill who helped me learn some basic coding. I was so proud of myself for finally finishing a calendar program after a full day of coding...which probably would have taken some of the awesome developers here 10 minutes to code T___T. 


The rest of today I plan on learning some SQL and go through some great tutorials at Industrial Logic. Then, off to packing and you'll get to hear from me when I land in India!


SG Hill and I have strikingly similar appearance all the way down to our D&G glasses and beards.
