New beginning - Never stop learning

I have been keeping this blog for a while, but I rarely update it. I have decided that from now on I am going to update it every Friday (hence the new title). My "first" blog is here, but since it is in Greek I am immediately excluding a large portion of my friends (maybe the larger portion). Since part of the reason of blogging (apart from ranting) is to keep in touch, I think it will be a good idea to update this blog at least once a week. Hopefully, some of you will find it interesting enough to visit regularly and keep in touch.

This past Tuesday I started a new job. The position is "junior programmer" and the company is a well-known international firm (name censored for privacy concerns). So far things seem great. We are training at the moment and will be doing so for the next five to six weeks. I am quite optimistic about this job and it has come after a lot of effort and frustration.

I have been searching for a real job for while now and after working doing data entry and at a TV station at the satellite links (which while interesting was not my thing), this job is a big step forward for me.

Other than this, I am still working out, trying to read some books, trying to learn some more stuff (linux, java, etc) and acclimatizing myself to my new social world (which is pretty much non-existent at the moment - that is no girlfriend... yet).

What is certain is that almost a year after graduation I am still in transition and I think (hope actually) that my first "real" job will change this somewhat. However, the one constant is all this is that: "you never stop learning".
