Now I’m getting a bit more settled in at work and getting stuck into coding. It’s been a long time since I had a job, it will take a little bit to get used to full-time work again; but it’s been fun so far. Tomorrow night work is having a 飲み会(nomikai)!

Next tuesday I’ll be starting work at Q-Games. Hooray! The work will be on PixelJunk titles for Playstation 3. It will be good to get stuck into some games coding again. The titles are fairly small, with just over 6 month or so turnaround; a welcome change from my previous project which went quite a long time.

Lots of things around here are a continual suprise, no matter how many times you see them. Every day a van comes through the area beaming out some sort of music and voice, I’ve no idea what it means. It appears to be some sort of garbage collection. There are alot of company vans and trucks around with loudspeakers always blasting out something (also very popular leading up to elections).

Today I’m going to provide some pro-tips. When you go out to a bar, at which there may be karaoke, you should be sure to choose a song that you know the lyrics to quite well. The karaoke machine at the bar I was at was this small handheld touch device, which changed the monitors/tv’s around the bar to the song you select, wirelessly. The microphone was a small wireless thing too. Convenient and simple! Not a big fuss to be made like there would be for getting up in front of a crowd or something.
I was cruising along to a nice song, I knew most of the words, and then I hit a section I was never really aware of, despite listening to it alot.

After 13 long days in a hotel in Osaka, we’ve finally moved into the apartment in Kyoto. The hotel was nice, but it gets dull after a long stay. It’s good to have a personal space again. And a desk. And a chair. Except the chair sucks. The apartment was built last november, so the engineering is quite modern.

It’s been a little while since I wrote a post, and I’m posting this to let everyone know I’ll be putting it off a bit longer. :P
In the meantime, I’ve added this page, upon which I will add interesting (or not) tidbits of information, hopefully one-per-day. I also took some photos of the apartment on this page.
That’s all for now! I’ve got to go eat THE CURRY.
