Well I guess a little status update is in order, as I've just had a very busy and exciting week go by ;).
Vancouver, Canada
... is not bad at all. The people are friendly and the sights are amazing (coming from someone whose land of origin is flatter than a pancake). Pretty from most angles, anyway; -1 on the expensiveness, all the homeless people and the difficulty in finding a proper sandwich. Seriously people, meat salad is only the beginning.
Bryght
... is a fun place to work at. The environment is very relaxed and the Bryght guys are a very sensible bunch (which all Drupaleers should already know). Part of the deal I have with Bryght is that I can spend a certain amount of my work time on arbitrary Drupal stuff (e.g. writing or reviewing core patches), which is working out great.
BarCamp Vancouver
... was a blast. This is the second BarCamp (and third *Camp) I've been to, and it just gets more fun every time. A ton of people showed up, all with tons of ideas buzzing around in their head. The opening party was at Bryght's new office, but the actual event was at Workspace in Gastown, an awesome shared working environment for geeks and non-geeks alike.
The Weather
... has been awesome. Today was actually the first overcast day I've ever seen in Vancouver, and even then it didn't actually rain. I wonder how long my "Rainless Vancouver" streak will last (18 days and counting).
The Scenic Tour
... starts here as I'm borrowing a digital camera at the moment. I've been uploading the photos that don't suck to flickr.
Glad to see you in Vancouver
Hi Steven,
It was a pleasure to meet and chat with you Sunday at Zak's party.
I'm glad that you are coming here in Vancouver; I came three years ago, and I still consider that I picked one of the best places you can find here in North America.
With the rain, I think that they will start to use the title Sunny Vancouver pretty soon with all this global warming. You will find also plenty of salads and good sandwiches :) just have to familiarize a little with the neighborhood.
Cheers,
Lucian
The rain
Just wait... it's coming... and its wrath will be inescapable and result in many squish-squish noises...
Meat salad
I've lived here for 13 years and I've never found meat salad. I did see it when I went to the UK, but never in Vancouver.
