      <title>Quick Job Update</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
I was &lt;a href="http://simonwillison.net/2006/Dec/19/openid/"&gt;setting up my blog so I could use it as my OpenID identity&lt;/a&gt; when I realized that I hadn't posted in almost 3 weeks. An update on the new job is simply long overdue.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.transzap.com/"&gt;TransZap&lt;/a&gt; is turning out to be a good place to work at. The engineers are sharp and an engaging group of people. The whole company have welcomed me warmly. I am starting to find my way around both the company and the code base, which is a pretty good thing. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
I still don't have my own private office. I did move from the cube that I occupied to an open space closer to the other developers. I have found this to be a good move since I am now in the middle of the action. I have started to participate in the near daily foosball matches, I can ask questions and get back to my desk quickly rather than trekking through the office to get with my team. The office situation will be resolved once we move to our new offices. The whole company is excited about the move.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Commuting to downtown Denver has proven to be a lot easier than I thought at first. I simply drive to the nearest park and ride and take the bus downtown. I have a few bus options. One drops me almost next to the current office building but has to deal with more traffic. Another one drops me near the other end of the 16th mall, but the mall has a free shuttle that gets me near our current office pretty quickly. The new offices will also be close to the mall and has a light rail stop right next to it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
So that's the quick job update. I'll will try to keep up with the blog and possibly talk about what TransZap does.
&lt;/p&gt;
