Good luck Inglis! If you don't mind me asking, did you get a job with a game company in the US?

Finally. You have been talking about waiting on the visa for a while. Good luck with it and then the job :)

You'd better buy yourself a gun for self defence :)

Buy a gun for the tilt train? lol

Actually if you mean the US then its not really that bad, in fact more violent crime per capita happen in Australia than the States.

Good luck Inglis, some of the guys/gals here have gone through that visa drama, not fun.

looks like a great buy you got there, though ill never know how lap-top users get by with so little HD space... (ive got a total of like 200 gig-ish).

Submitted by bullet21 on Thu, 15/07/04 - 2:25 AMPermalink

So, have you got a job yet, or are you going over there to look for one, if you havve got one what's the name of the company?

Submitted by tbag on Mon, 19/07/04 - 5:33 AMPermalink

Otherwise, congrats! Have fun at the BBC and make sure to give us updates on what you are working on [:)].

well im here. im in at work. its almost 5 in the afternoon. and im going to die soon from jetlag.

here are some things ive learnt in the last 24hours...
1) NY is f**king huge. no matter how many photos you see of it, looking out a plane window and seeing manhattan, it is amazing.
2) dont trust anyone that comes up to in the street and wants to 'help you out' or 'hook you up'.
3) $1100/month US doesnt get you much space in West Village.
4) you cant understand spanish women behind bullet proof glass.
5) americans are SUV crazy. i mean CRAZY....
6) you cant sleep when you are in a plane with 60 US 11-13 year olds returning home around you.
7) they like australians, and so far have only heard 2 croc hunter jokes.

take it easy.

It's cool that you are having fun over there. Maybe you just need to wear a pair of stubbies to get dome more croc hunter jokes ;)
