Cool Conference Call

8 am this morning, I did my first conference call in the company. It was a call from Austin, Texas.

As much as I would not like to discuss office works here, this is a news I think that is worth sharing.

(No, not just the phone call itself, but the what was talked about.)

Intriguing, isn’t it?

Let’s just say that I’m on my way to where I initially wanted to be. I would be (hopefully) transferred to another team in the future. That would be hard core C++ programming with much Operations Research in the algorithm. I was introduced this morning to one of the pioneers there and told me that this (the ideal team) is a good learning point for me especially if I want to combine OR with programming.

So there.

Kinda excited and nervous at the same time.

Still keeping my fingers crossed.

New Comics

Bought my next 2 comics. ü

They are back-issues but what the heck. I really like this cartoons/comics. The mini-series (6-issues) already ended last February. Lucky me I was able to find a store that still sells them (and a 50% price drop at that!).

I got the first issue and the second issue. I am not in the hunt for issue 0.

Today, I bring you VOLTRON

 &nbsp
Issue #1 &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp  &nbsp  &nbsp  &nbsp  &nbsp  &nbsp  &nbsp  &nbsp   Issue #2

This is nice.

I hope I can complete the series.

================

I forgot to add, Pen and me watched TROY last night. It was supposed to be a premiere night tickets but alas, it became premiere seat tickets. No complains though ü. The only complain I have is that the movie wasn’t much that good. I mean, with all the movies nowadays (LOTR, Matrix, Spiderman, etc..), it seems that TROY didn’t pass that standards. CGI was not that bad but definitely it doesn’t come close to LOTR. Characters are lousy and were not developed thoroughly. Fight scenes aren’t that spectacular either. It’s a good movie but definitely not an awesome one.
