I did it. G. convinced me to use his little C++ library called Neptune
for SNDK. I spent 2 weeks working on it and it’s now working “comme sur des roulettes”. I got to learn a lot about Neptune which is good since I will most likely use it at Intertrust. G. gave them a free license. Anyway, I tweaked it a bit , added a few cool stuff to it and fixed a bunch of bugs to my code as well. Since it’s compiling under .NET, the code is a lot smaller. The little device test is 2/3rd smaller. Gotta put that project a side for now. I got a lot to do at work. Maybe I’ll work on it in a few months. Although after seeing G. UPnP server in Java and how simple it is to write in Java, I can see myself giving up on C++ in the next few years. It’s insanely convenient as you become lazier with age.

Highway 101 sucks! As you guess, I started my new job last week. I was actually surprised to see that I can pretty much get there in 35-40 min in the morning. It was also pretty good timing on the way back at night after 7:30pm. My big mistake was to leave friday night at 6:30pm. HELL NO!
Took me 1h30min. I am better off waiting next time or going to work earlier in the afternoon.
Anyway, besides the traffic, I love the job already. I am working with geniuses and I am going to learn so much. I am already using Eclipse, writing Java and hacking the Palm OS on a crazy device from Sony that only exists in Japan. You can guess my next task is to learn Japanese ’cause this freaking device UI is all in kanji!
