Quick Catchup - Work


Well lots on.

Been working hard putting on the studio at google.  It's in a pretty nice building in London at a complex called 'Central St. Giles' .  There are quite few companies that seem to rent floors with the ones i remember being Google (obviously) and also NBC Universal.  Spent quite a lot of time up there getting things right, but after all it is google and it's good to giver the customer something they like.

Then a trip to MTV Amsterdam.  Not a long trip, just an overnight.  I flew from London City airport, which is great, direct to Schipol airport Amsterdam.  It's then a short train ride to Central station after which i had to catch a ferry to the MTV office which is about a 15 minute ride.  I think lots of companies over there have been persuaded to move to an slightly derelict spit just down the river but it's a pretty funky place.  As you can see from the pictures below the area around MTV Amsterdam could do with a little tidying up although maybe that's part of the charms.  There was an outdoor concert on the day i was there which apparently goes on pretty late.  From the second picture you can also see that MTV Amsterdam have some pretty nice offices.  There was also a lot of celebratory cake going around!
In the evening myself and a few colleagues took out some MTV guys for a meal.  MTV booked us at a pretty nice Indonesian place but guess who ended up picking up the cheque at the end of the night!
