title Qualcomm Moves Offices, Milton Road, Cambridge - 26th July 2006 intro Nosher's place of work moves less than a mile from one side of Milton Road in Cambridge - on the mini Police State that is the Business Park - to the other, in the shape of the campus-like Science Park, which was really the culmination of the original vision right back in those heady 3G Lab start-up days. During the move, we have to return to the old place to clear up the remaining detritus before the lease can be completed, which gives a last chance to look around the building in more-or-less the same state it was before we moved in, back in 2001. In between the two days of moving, there are some poppies by the side of the road near Wickham Skeith which needed a photo - it was just as well as when heading back to work the next day, they'd all been strimmed. imgp1457 The user-testing suite;s window has been removed imgp1458 Craig rummages about for something in Matrix House imgp1459 Nosher's old desk imgp1463 One of the conference rooms imgp1464 The devices lab is still in use imgp1466 A corner of the office imgp1467 Louise mills about imgp1469 Craig comforts James imgp1471 The old Stick Game room imgp1472 The staff kitchen imgp1479 A big reel of bubble wrap - pink and white imgp1481 A bunch of bright red fire extinguishers imgp1486 More "crate city" imgp1487 Mathworks' (Matrix House) reception imgp1488 The building's reception front desk imgp1490 Mathwork's upstairs balcony imgp1492 More vacant desks imgp1557 There's a queue for food in the new building imgp1558 The new engineering area imgp1560 Nosher's desk is by the window imgp1561 Glass-walled offices imgp1562 Arun looks around imgp1563 Nick sorts his cabling out in the new office imgp1564 It's even more "cable city" than the old office imgp1567b Cleaning windows in the downstairs mini-kithen imgp1569 Debs, almost hidden behind a bunch of boxes imgp1576 Downstairs is a bit chaotic imgp1577 The comms room imgp1581 Clare wanders around armed with bins imgp1583 By the back door: a heap of crap imgp1584 Groovy big electrical switchgear imgp1586 There's a massive pile of cardboard out the back imgp1595 Stuck on the A14 on the way back home imgp1596 Poppies by the road near Wikham Skeith imgp1604 Poppies and barley imgp1607 A solitary poppy imgp1611 Some small pink flowers imgp1737 The next day, the old office is almost empty imgp1738 Matrix House is a bit of a tip imgp1739 A wrecked floor socket and network outlet imgp1741 Clare tidies up imgp1754 A solitary chair imgp1755 The old reception desk imgp1759 The almost-empty office imgp1766b Clare looks a bit lost in the old East Wing imgp1769 Outside, the skip had been empty when we arrived imgp1944 Up in the roof void of New Building imgp1952 Bundles of orange fireproof Cat-6 cable
