The First Day The first day at the new job was good. The three developers on the team (myself included) had a 3 hour meeting getting our arms around the project and figuring out how to do everything. It's an interesting approach we're using - where an Excel speadsheet is e-mailed to a mailbox. It's then picked up, processed, and if it meets certain criteria, it's entered into an Oracle database. Then we're going to use a web front-end and Struts to grab the data and render it to the user so they can correct it. I wonder if I can use the Struts Validator on the way out? It'll be interesting to find out.

The only unfortunate part of the day was the machine I found myself in front of. It's a Dell GX110, and has 128MB RAM and a 733MHz processor. Ughhh, try running Ant, Eclipse and Tomcat at the same time on that sucker! I faired better than the other developer though - he got an NT 4 box - at least mine's 2000! They said they'd try to get us better machines, but I hope to just use the ol' Powerbook. The dual 21" monitors is helping to reduce the pain.
