Autumn is around the corner

This is a sure sign that summer is over - golden leaves on the trees. It was a beautiful day today, sunny and quite warm, but you can feel a chill in the background and the trees know it too.

The turnaround for my Xbox was two weeks in all. It's now working fine and it sounds different too, so the fan and heatsink have certainly been changed. Also, the Bike pack has been released for Burnout Paradise since Thursday, so I've been giving that a go too - they've done a great job integrating motorbikes into the game, actually. Also, there are weather conditions (namely mist, fog, etc) and a "day and night"; some races have to be taken at certain times of the day. Great stuff!

We've moved office at work too. The new offices are over two floors so there's a lot more room for us all to fit in. It's looking great, albeit a bit "sterile" at the moment; but that's just because it's newly finished and we need to add colour here and there through photographs and other stuff. Definitely a nice move though. Plus it takes me the same amount of time to get to work - about 20 minutes, involving a 15 minute bus ride and a short walk to the front door.
