Wednesday was my last day at Fog Creek Software. Leaving is bittersweet, because I have many fond memories and great friends there.  The developers are great friends and some of them I’ve worked with everyday for the past two and a half years.

For my last day, the company took all the developers out for a very nice lunch to send me off. We ate at Murano Ristorante. It was a lot of fun and it was a very nice treat. The restaurant was one that I discovered a couple months ago when I took a job applicant there for lunch. I highly recommend the homemade garlic potato chips! When we got back there was an awesome cake waiting. The cake was a cool cat shaped cake, along with six cheeseburger shaped cakes. The cheeseburger cakes looked surprisingly like real cheeseburgers, and when I took a bite, I was quite surprised by how tasty they were. The buns were made of muffin tops, and the patties were a lot like brownies. I was asked slice the cat, so I did the logical thing and cut the cat’s head off. Aneta ate the eyes when I brought the head home, and we both ate the brains!

My last two hours in the employ of Fog Creek were spent working with Brett to create sandboxes. I am not sure what more I should say. I suppose that I can say whatever I want, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise. I also don’t want to give anyone to expect sandboxes in future versions of FogBugz. The sandboxes that Brett and I made are still only prototypes, and it will be a while before they are used outside of the Creek.

The cat and cheeseburgers were to commemorate my new job. I started working full time for I Can Has Cheezburger on Thursday. I have been working a little part time for ICHC over the last few weeks already. So far I’ve been working on performance related work. The next couple months should be real exciting, Aneta and I have a little more than 3 weeks left in New York. Then we drive down to Tennessee, a few days later I fly to Seattle to work on-site at ICHC for a month. Then back to Tennessee for a few weeks, and then to Poland!
