Wow, what a day! Today I got Office 2007 on my systems (Yippee). Anyway as always I wasted no time configuring the whole thing. Today was a brilliant day for my systems. I got Visual Studio 2003, a Source tracker and configuration management client also. The only thing missing was the lack of VS 2005. I can live with that!
By the way I finally got the Vehicle Entry Pass (VEF) and now I won’t need to get a temporary pass issued every day. I also got the Mobile Connection from Airtel activated.
I must say that the visual interface is really smooth and addictive. I seriously don’t feel like going back to the plain old “Menu” based outdated interfaces. Though some people might say that it takes up lot of real state on the screen but at the same time it eliminated the need of this pesky toolbars and the need to constantly hide/unhide them and reconfigure them to get that perfect customized look. This “Ribbon” interface is smooth, sexy and fluid and I really love it. More so it presents you a clear picture of what options are available at a glance instead of going down the list of long menu in order to find the menu item being searched for.
Other than this small thing I discovered the roof today and it seriously is better than the Third floor that I used to go to. It also houses the rooms for employees in case they are staying overnight or to sleep in during the day time.
I also sent out photographs of my desktop and laptop across to my old company and by got Vammu was impressed.
Anyway tomorrow I’m going to search for another monitor to put in my computer and configure it with dual monitors. That’s going to be some sight… let’s just hope I am able to find an unused monitor.
