They'd know instantaneously who am I (by reading the text below for example :D ), and I don't mind as we're talking very positively/excitedly about the company here :)

Duuude... I've set out in long sleeve shirt, nice pants, 4kg notebook in a bag, and a backpack full of electronics...
3 trains, 1 bus, and 2km by foot. One way.
Thanks for reminding ::)

That's OK then - but just be careful.

That's quite a trek - even for Sydney.  You'll be a public transport aficionado by Christmas!  (No snow, though.)

Best get used to the weather, Summer isn't far away. Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous, I don't mind the hot or cold. Then again, I wasn't schlepping around with a heavy bag. The wind today had a bit of a bite to it.

^_^:
I got the job!! :-+
Hope for long-lasting cooperation :)
Moving to Wentworth Point next weekend. Area seems nice (park, promenade, river), 1h ferry trip to Opera (:popcorn:) or train from Rhodes.

The location was optimized for commuting time. It's just 5km: 60min by foot, 35min by bus(es), 20min by bike, 10min by car.
I guess bike it is, just like you guys mentioned before, haha!
Though I'm surprised that I didn't see lots of bikers around Sydney.

Is it traditional to bring food on the first day?
I've made protein chocolate balls with a friend and saved many for the occasion. Plan is to make cookies as well.

Except work, I've visited robodino makerspace (http://robodino.org/space) one day.
I think it's a great place for lab-less person :)
I've also found this (http://makerspace.org.au/book-classes/).
You pay a lot for classes (and monthly subscription) but get to learn new stuff (like ceramics). Will give it a try.

Thank you all for posting in this thread!!! :-+
Looking forward to next EEVblog Sydney meetup hehe >:D

Brumby:
Congratulations on the job!  Hope it's all you expect.

I trust you're not getting too used to the weather we've had lately.  It's been far too mild and far too dry.  Summer is going to hit hard in a few weeks - and mother nature is behind on the rain.  Expect that to catch up sometime.

Oh ... and 20 minute travel time by bike is going to be fairly consistent.  The 10 minutes by car is not going to be nearly as regular.... Traffic, you know.
