All set up.

The new office is more or less in working order. Everyone’s got a desk and a functioning computer and telephone. I have too many computers, or monitors, or something . . . I need to take home this 17″ screen and make some room on my desk for books and, well, work that needs to get done. I knew there was a downside.

The building we’re in now has a basement connected to the basements of a couple other buildings on the block. Plenty of restaurants down there. Today a few of us ate Italian (our pasta was a bit over-oiled but the flavor wasn’t bad at all) and since this was nominally a welcome meal of sorts for a couple of new faces the company picked up the tab. I like free food. Anyhow, thanks to the miracle of “underground passages” and “the roof” we can go eat our lunch without umbrellas on rainy days . . . which is handy, I suppose, although never seeing the sky could get to a person after a while. Might have to start making trips to the Starbucks one building over for coffee and fresh air.

The Starbucks shares a floor in the Shinsei Bank building with a Yahoo Cafe. This looks like it’s free to use (although with 100Mb fiber optic in the company I don’t know why I would want to go nextdoor to surf) but I might have to check it out anyway, in order to support Adam’s company. (Assuming Yahoo owns Yahoo Japan, that is. Adam? You have anything to do with these guys?) Maybe a post in the near future will be written in the Yahoo Cafe . . .
