Skiing trip to Mt. Baker

Well folks, I have kicked off my skiing season just over a week ago with a trip to Mt. Baker. It took us 3 hrs to get there from Seattle and I had to get up at 6:30 am for it, but it was well worth it in the end. The day turned out to be gorgeous and warm as well.

All of the pictures from the trip can be found here There is some amazing scenery up there.

Back on the Blogosphere! :)

After a prolonged absence due to a rare condition diagnosed as blogophobia, I am now back and shall slowly start posting again @_@

What's been going on - in chronological order
I've moved to Seattle into temporary corporate housing; where I've stayed for a month.

I've started work on an interesting projects and was lucky to have a fun group of people to work with in my team. In the short time span, I began working on more and more interesting and challenging pieces of the project.

I started exploring some of the natural surroundings in Washington state; Ended up going on a couple of hiking trips and a few times kayaking.

Mount Renier

Shortly after, I've moved into my new apartment in Queen Anne(pictures coming sometime soon) ... since then, I've been getting furniture at an amazingly slow pace :) I also got a visit from Ilyia, living now in San Francisco. I ended up exploring more of Seattle with Ilyia here than I had done so before.

I've started reading lots of research papers in Distributed Systems to learn about current ideas and technologies in the field and look for ways to apply them in various projects.

The fall here was/is very colorful ... but I've neglected to take pictures thus far.

There are a lot of surrounding mountains in the area and recently there have been big snow falls over there ... this means the skiing season has started! :) ... I have therefore went on great conquest to obtain all the needed equipment and now plan to begin my skiing season here tomorrow ;)

Stay tune for more to come and in more detail!
