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.
