Second week, Flex user group meeting, mobile phone…
WOW, already my second week and still no bank account. Starting a new life in the States is not easy at all. It’s hard to get in contact with the locals, paper work is difficult and needs a lot of patience. But the beach is cool and work is fortunately challenging.
Lesson 3: Starting a new life in the California is not a piece of cake!
What happen the last few days?
Last Wednesday I went to the Flex User Group meeting in Santa Monica. I asked my colleagues from work but nobody had any interests in joining me. So i took my bike and drove there. It took me nearly one hour but it was worth it. I met really nice people and had the opportunity to listen to a very interesting speech about the new Flex 4 skinning possibilities. The Flex User Group meeting provided free pizza. Compared to the Swiss User Group meeting there was no beer. :-) After the talk from Tom, we talked a bit before I went back home. It was good and I willdefinitely join them again.
It happened! I always say to everybody: “make a backup”! Backup is the most important thing! And me? Backup? Probably I have a backup from everything but mobile phone. And it happened. My mobile phone broke down. It’s not even possible to start it again. I can not connect it to my computer.. Nothing. All data is gone. If you read this and you know me, send me your contact details.
Lesson 4: Always backup!!!!
Anyway, to make sure I can get contacted, I bought a new phone. Its a cheap SAMSUNG phone. There is not even vibra inside. Unfortunately I can not use my Swiss number with it. I will need to organize a new phone from Switzerland.
Work changed a bit. It got a bit stressful. Currently I work on a few different project. I do a lot of Web design stuff, a bit Flash and also XML based work. It’s challenging but I like it a lot. In my spare time I develop a little project. I will show it to you as soon as I have a running prototype.
