With the end of the Internship comming a few administrative tasks need to be completed. Today I released the new version of the tool I worked on yesterday and after that I prepared my presentation for the end of the Internship. We have 10 minutes to talk about our project, our team, our experience etc. In the afternoon hours I worked with Dan on the new project we talked about yesterday. It is the second day I go to work around 8 and leave around 7. I guess that’s a regular day after one gets more into his work…
After work I stopped by the Ice Cream store for a vanilla cone:

And before going home I passed by the deli for some chicken souvlaki
Since I came home I’ve been working on the pictures from last week. Right now they are uploading to the server and soon they will be available in the gallery
Today, even my manager asked me about the progress of my presentation. I guess it is time for me to do it. That will be my priority tomorrow. Other then that I worked the entire day on improovements and bug fixing and bug workarounds ( for IE). Because the they want the form to be quite clever, I had to write quite alot of Java Script and Ajax. That’s ok, but I hope it will not turn into some rusty web app with all these “enhancements”. Today I worked till 7pm and after I came home I ate a chicke souvlaki and watched this week’s photoshop user tv. Then I started writing in my blog to catch up since last Wednesday… I shouldn’t leave behind this, because it is hard to catch up later.
Today we got emails to remind us that next week we have to do a presentation on what we have worked on and learned in the firm. I, of course, have not started mine, but I have to submit it by Friday, so I’ll have to do it in the next couple of days. We had a nice talk with my manager about future project that I can give my opinion on before I go back to school:). Tomorrow I’ll do some Java…
After work I spent the entire afternoon doing some more tricks on my phone. I found some interesting things that so far were available only on Windows machines… I also try to do tests so that I can show concrete data.
The new week is the same like the old one. It is still the 7th week at this job and it’s out of interesting things to write about. We ate breakfast, we worked, we ate lunch, we workd and we left.
After work was more interesting. Vassil and I went to look for bright bulbs for the dashboard of the car and later I was playing around with my new phone. I started to gather some information on various tricks and soon I’ll be putting together what I’ve been able to find.
This weekend was different. First Dary left for Bulgaria and second I remembered about the first couple of years when I lived together with Vassil. After we left Dary at the airport we came back and we started looking at Alien. Again some of the gallery/blog software was hacked and we had to update php and install suphp. Now every user runs php as himself and cannot fill the entire server with junk. For one day the hits to the web server went from 400-500 to 25,000
Fortunately we were able to brin them down to 500 by Monday. We watched Hackers on 720p quality which was cool. Sunday we didn’t do anything in particular. We were just on our computers, we went here and there … It was fun, but Dary wasn’t there so I can hug here.
