Back from the USSR
Heading back to the UK today and am quite sad to be leaving this country. The guys here have been amazing, and apart from some very productive work the fruits of which will be seen soon, we've also managed to have fun in the process.
Last night we all went out for a meal, and the cries of "Wodka!" every 5 minutes are still resonating loudly in my ears. I especially loved the programmer humour story of how our coders had to set reminders so they remembered to tell their wives they were going out for a meal. I guess some things cross all borders.
It's inspiring to work with such brilliant programmers, and I look forward to coming back in a month or two hopefully to do more great work.
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video. Merci.
