Today is going to be my first day at my new job. My job title is "Chief Developer", I'll still be doing project management but my focus will move closer to development again.
My new employer is mainly a Microsoft technology shop (you in the back, I've seen that, stop giggling) which means I'll have to adapt to quite a few changes in my work environment:
- Windows XP instead of Linux or MacOS X.
- Outlook instead of Gnus/XEmacs - no, I won't start sending HTML-Mails or quote the messages I reply to at the bottom of my mails.
- VS.NET instead of XEmacs.
- VSS instead of CVS.
- Some technologies like Sharepoint that I never used an equivalent for.
Nothing on that list scares me, I've used Lotus Notes in the past and nothing can be worse than that, but in combination it means a really big shift and it'll be interesting to see how well I'm going to adapt.
