Today I moved cubes at work. Not really very far - it's just down the row - but I'm out of the giant four-person cube that I was living in, and now in a more traditional one-person-with-someone-sitting-across situation. I'm excited for a change (I hear it will do you good), but I'm certainly going to miss the camaraderie of the old setup, not to mention the ease of asking questions to my neighbors.
I was in meetings most of the day, so I didn't have much chance to get moved in much less hang out in the new digs. I was around long enough to discover that it seems to be about 10 degrees warmer in my new location, which I'm not fired up for. Recently it has been unseasonably cold in my cube, with seemingly a breeze blowing on me somedays. However I'd much rather be uncomfortably cold than uncomfortably hot. I'm hoping that it was a function of me wearing a long-sleeved shirt today and all my physical effort of moving stuff around (not much effort, but significantly more than usual).
But potential good news - I noticed that I had a wee bit of cell phone signal in my new cube too. I'm not sure if that was a fluke, but if I could psuedo-reliably get email and text messages throughout the day, oh man. It would be incredible if I could listen to last.fm, but I'm not holding my breath there. At my old location I would get email updates about twice a day, and never when I needed them.
I'll keep you posted as the news develops.

Personally I MUCH prefer Pandora over Lastfm. As a matter of fact, Last has moved to the last page on my iPod touch home screen, only one step away from being deleted right off the device. Neither Kay or I ever use it anymore. We both like Pandora better. Have you tried Pandora? Why do you prefer Last? Just curious, maybe I'm missing something.
That'd be cool if you have cell service at work.
Hah, that's funny. I actually was going to link to Pandora, I had it typed out even, but then I wasn't sure if it was .org or .com, so I bailed and went with Last.fm.
I flip back and forth between the two, depending on what I want to listen to. If I want to listen to a certain type of music, I'll listen to Pandora for a focused set of songs. If I want a random collection of stuff, I'll hit up my Last.fm recommendation station.
Generally I think I prefer Pandora too, but I'm such a sucker for statistics, the Last.fm song tracking stuff really excites me. I have a lot more faith in the song-matching that Pandora does, and I probably like the iPhone app better too. Desktop-wise though, you can only use that stupid flash webpage thing - Last.fm's desktop client is way pimper.
Ah, such dilemmas.
