Yay! Another personality test!

Friday, August 5th, 2005

Inspired by the Article de artibus informationae » Yes I did it…, I tried the test myself. So here are my results:

You scored as Remus Lupin. You are a wise and caring wizard and a good, loyal friend to boot. However sometimes in an effort to be liked by others you can let things slide by, which ordinarily you would protest about.

Severus Snape

Internship

Friday, August 5th, 2005

My internship started… well actually it started on August 1st, but I seem to have forgotten to post it here. So now a short summary: I work at the Blutzentrale Linz (the link shows the main building, although I work in a lab near the Blumauerplatz), a part of the General Hospital (AKH) and a suborganization of the Red Cross. Because the “big boss” is not here, I was given a small assignment to program a tool to facilitate lab work, and next Monday we will see what exactly my assignments will look like. Although I had estimated the development time for the tool to be slightly less then one month, the current prototype is approximately 80-90% functional. Fine tuning, testing and writing a user manual is all that’s left to do, so I guess that I will be finished at the end of next week. I really hope that this tool will prove useful to the people in the lab.
Yet another funny thing: I was given a computer, and when I requested VS.NET as development environment, I was told by the sysadmin in charge: “We don’t have it, as we usually don’t develop on our own. [Insert some excuses about testing, maintaining etc.]“. So just one question: WTF am I supposed to do here if not develop things? I hope Dr. Gabriel (the big boss :) ) can sort this out when he returns on monday.
