Pink Day at CCP Friday Oct. 8th

CCP Octoberfest Delivered.

CPP + Octoberfest = WIN!

We ran out of beer at 10:00, but thank god someone was clear minded enough to make some calls and soon after even more beer arrived, Thule as well. Not bad.
After that beer ran out, buses were ready to take the last (and surprisingly many) hardcore party people to the wonderful ruckus that is Reykjavikan nightlife.

Reykjavik's nightlife delivers again

Team Raggy @ The IGI Party

Mexico!

CCP is getting ready for the big Mexico trip.
@ 04:30 (morning) the bus leaves from CCP HQ to Keflavik.
From there we get our own plane all the way to sunny MExico if the volcano and weather gods permit. Keflavik was closed today, so everybody is waiting with anticipation for good news.

hopefully everything will proceed as scheduled and we will have 500 CCP'ers together in an amazing resort in Mexico, with free bar for 4 days :)

Expect pictures to follow.....

CCP (photo update)

I have so many pictures on my camera that are just sitting there, here is a bunch from CCP.
Some of them are from last X-mas that is why you can see the X-mas decorations in places :)

CCP Fishtank

Some pictures of the massive! saltwater fish tank situated at the 3rd floor of the CCP HQ.
It is a self sustained environment as far as I have been told.

One side points out towards the recreational area, the other towards the offices situated on the 3rd floor.

Moving at CCP and more

Moving at CCP.
Well well well, we moved today at CCP. Basically the art department moved from our old offices at the 3rd floor, to the new office space in the building connected to the CCP HQ main building. We are also situated on the 3rd floor now but we now have windows all around and the light factor just went up by millions.
As moves go, this one was pretty ok, some trouble though with the floor in one of the offices, it is basically damaged from water and has to be fixed before our AD and Technical Lead can move in. Also we has not internets! But it will be fixed tomorrow.
all in all the new space in fantastic, I'll upload pictures once all the dust settles.

In the Dark.
Friday at around 2300, the power went poof! were I live, suddenly I was sitting there in total darkness in front of the PC going, uhm. I am really glad I got those tea lights and a lighter some weeks back.
When Ilooked out the streetlights were out too, as well as the light in some of the surrounding buildings, but not all of Reykjavik. I still haven't figures out what it was. But hey the light came back after an hour or so, so no big deal.

Week-end.
Was pretty uneventful as weekends go, but I had originally planned to move into an apartment, but since I decided on another bigger one, I am moving the 30th instead.
I have been sleeping a lot though, all of Saturday almost, I blame it on the daylight, the sun rises quite late and it makes you want to sleep in.

The economy.
Just thought I would post this link:
