This post is a bit late, as it's been two weeks since my last day at Ingena, but it would be remiss of me to leave without posting something about it.
I'd been at Ingena for a year after their aquisition of DeadFish, where I'd worked for three years. I hope I managed to help transition DeadFish's bigger clients (Telstra, Telstra Wholesale) across successfully, as for me it was a small bit of sadness to no-longer be working with them. In my final months, I had a super rockin' time working onsite at Australia Post as the UI Designer on one of their bigger projects (it had been in development for two years without a UI Designer, so things needed a fair bit of fixing) - lots (LOTS) of presentations/workshops to run, amazing and fantastic developers to be yelled at by, and a finished product that everyone seemed pretty pleased with.
So I'm stoked that I end my Australian career on a high note, and look totally forward to even more fun at Google. I start there in October, and am currently taking my first real break since 2000; some small things about OO coding never really sat well with me (and no-one could answer my 'why' questions satisfactorily), so I'm going back and writing some stuff in straight C so that I'll hopefully gain an appreciation for what I'm missing. It's been great fun.
P.S. I miss the people at Ingena so much I'm going back tonight for BEER BEER BEER!

Glen, some could argue that your time @ DeadFish & Ingena was one looong break :)
