Well it’s almost a week into the new contract and so far things are looking good. I have never worked in a purely IBM shop before and it’s a very refreshing change with all of the latest versions of software being used from DB2 right up to Domino 7.0.1 on some of the servers. They’ve got me working on an interesting project which involves Web Services integration and PDF generation both of which are relatively new to me.
The environment is nice and relaxed and the rest of the guys on the floor have been very forgiving with all of my stupid new-boy questions. We’ll see how the social side is tomorrow night with a trip out to a pub or two.
Overall it’s good to be back doing what I enjoy in an environment which just lets you get on with it. And joy of joys I haven;t even encountered any politics (yet!).

I’m a regular reader of you blog and often use ideas, suggestions, code etc that you post. So thanks for that…
I have done quite a bit of work on creating PDFs using Apache FOP, XML, XSL from a Notes Java agent that I’m happy to share – I have not got my blog up and running but when I do I intend to post it there.
Let me know if its of any interest

hi Liam,
Thanks for the offer, it sounds like you need to get a blog up and running and then post an SnTT entry for us all to enjoy http://www.11tmr.com/11tmr.nsf/emoticons/DLYH-5MZVLU/$FILE/wink.gif“>
In the mean time if you do have any things I should be bearing in mind please drop me an email.
Thanks
Matt
An environment that lets you get on with it…
Without politics…

I know it doesn’t sound very likely does it. I’m sure I just haven’t encountered the politics yet but I’m in no rush to, it’s just a refreshing change at the moment from the usual fun and games.
