Today (yesterday, now) was my first day at Atlassian (I don't waste time, do I?), which is my placement for IT2. It was a pretty good day. Firstly, I got to come in at 10.30 (thanks Scott!!!), got shown around the place, setup with a computer (a Dell, ick!) and settled in. I went with a bunch of guys to a Chinese/Malay restaurant in Castlereagh Street, and ate quite a good laksa for lunch. Mmm…
I've got a good feeling about this IT and this company. My placement at Oracle was bad at times, but ended up being OK. I think this one's going to be great. There's an excellent bunch of people (all quite young), I'll be getting a heap of Java and testing experience (since I'm working on Confluence), and it's a small business, so I 'get' the vibe. To top it off, there's a fridge filled with drinks and lots of snacks, so I'm set. 
I also got a welcome pack. Yippee!
One of the guys in the office (Jens) showed me around Confluence, and I found out he had been working on some AJAX-stuff for the program, which is quite cool. You can see it (and the other results of their "Fed-Ex" day), here.
