Week 18: Estimation Goat

My supervisor left me this week… well he got another position in the department. So now I’ve got some new tasks for December involving LabView. LabView is interesting and fun – but also quite different from the usual text-based languages. Data-flow based languages bring up some strange challenges which is no problem in text-based. I see data-flow based languages like LabView makes it easier to figure out that happens with the data – and probably many other goodies which I yet have to discover.

Anyway, I have to estimate a lot on stuff which I havn’t tried before. Take implementing my Xml config generating tool, which should be implemented in LabView. I have basicly no experience in LabView, and I only know the basics. Estimating this task would requite me to investigate the task and my skill level. But I don’t know how long it will take until I have tried it – so I asked my supervisor for advice and got the Estimation Goat as reply.

In the end, I’ve got estimated work for about 32 days for the 18 days I have left of my internship. I see a problem here :/

DE-fucking-CEMBER! Yes, it’s Christmas soon, which made me bring my cookie jar. I brought cookies on 1st December, but when my team leader saw them, he refused to believe that I brought them to work. The reason was that any other team got the exact same bag of cookies.
*Sigh*
Unappreciated work :/ They were yummie though and another colleague of mine brought pebernødder (origins from the German “Pfeffernüssen”). And today, we made a ri-donkey-lous gingerbread castle. It was like 1 meter tall…

Anyway…
December brought you Zamu-han.
