+[[!meta title="First Week at Thread" ]]
+
+On Monday I started working on [[Thread|https://thread.com/]]. A 3 year old
+startup that has set out to reinvent how the world buys clothes.
+
+On arrival, I began setting my office machine up with Debian, and left it
+cloning the rather large git repository while I and the rest of the company
+went out to a nearby pub for lunch. By the end of the day I had my office
+machine setup, my name on the [[website|https://www.thread.com/help]] and had
+begun working on a small feature for the order management part of the site.
+
+On Tuesday, work came to a halt at 11:30. Everyone set of to [[London
+Fields|http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/51.5402/-0.0601]] for the picnic in
+celebration of Thread's 3rd birthday.
+
+Wednesday was actually normal as far as I can remember, Thursday featured a
+office movie night, and today (Friday) I had published my first contribution to
+the site, along with enjoying my first office lunch.
+
+Thread use a great set of technologies, Python, Django, PostgreSQL and Debian.
+I have learned loads in just my first week, and I can't wait to get stuck in
+over the next few weeks.
