Today for some reason I tried again to go look at the trailer, or whatever has to offer the web site of Gears of War. A game that I’ve been criticizing recently just based on the fact that the title is lame.
Believe it or not, Firefox managed to crash as I was inputting my birth date, a check required to see if I’m adult enough to watch the Gears of War trailer. Well, I guess I’m not old enough ! Nice job !!

Onto more interesting things.. Tuesday I went back to work after two weeks of vacation ! The extra long winter holiday is due to the fact that the R&D section got new desks, furniture. It all smells new. Gone are the tall cubicles, in favor of a more open space environment. A change that some found annoying, as there is an obvious loss of privacy. There are still dividers, but they are not as tall and they don’t cover the back sides of the dutiful workers. The idea is that one can turn around and speak directly to the other 3 coworkers placed at the remaining 3 corners.
I like also the new open-space meeting room, with projector and white-board for potentially anyone to see. Cool ! Involvement !
I also like how some windows lost the curtains.. nice sunlight coming in ! There are also some simple red sofas on green carpet, short tables and white boards right by the windows, not too far form my desk. Cool, cool !
