Back at Microsoft
Posted on September 16, 2007 | Filed Under Microsoft, University
I’m back at Microsoft for another internship, and the stuff they’ve got me working on sounds even more interesting than my project during the last internship. I’m very excited to be back, and to actually have free time in the evenings for a change. It was a very busy school term, and I didn’t have much time to keep up with this blog, but now that I (theoretically) have more free time, I’ll be sure to update it more frequently.
I received good marks in all of my courses, with the exception of Computer Security, which I aced. The project for Software Design and Architecture also went quite well. All in all, it was a good term.
Since the end of exams, I’ve had a bunch of cool experiences that I’ll hopefully write about later. I’m currently trying out Ubuntu’s Gutsy Gibbon, and a bug in f-spot, my preferred photo management application, hasn’t yet been fixed. I’ll post my photos online as soon as that bug is resolved, or I get annoyed enough to help fix it or switch to another distribution.
Update: The bug has been fixed.

First Week Back at School
Posted on May 3, 2007 | Filed Under University
I’m nearly done the first week back at school, and so far I’ve been very pleasently surprised. Two of my professors look like they’ll be very good, and two of the others have quite a bit of potential. If things go well, this will be a record breaking semester in terms of professor quality. It’s also looking like this term will be more focused on software development than on writing, which is also a nice change from last semester. At any rate, I’m actually looking forward to it.
I’ve also started my workterm report, although I probably haven’t written as much of it as I should have by this point. On the bright side, I don’t think my topic will be too hard to write about, and it’ll all be over one way or the other by Tuesday next week
In case anyone else in my Software Engineering program happens to read this, I use a modified version of Simon Law’s uw-wkrpt LaTeX template for my workterm reports. I’ve uploaded a copy of my template, in case it turns out to be of use to anyone else.

Back to School
Posted on April 27, 2007 | Filed Under University
Today was the last day of my internship, and I’ve got to say, it’s been a great experience. It’s been very interesting to see firsthand what Microsoft is like from the inside. Not to mention that the work has been interesting and challenging.
Unfortunately, it’s time for me to go back to school for another four months. I fly back to Ontario on Sunday, and the first day of classes is Tuesday. I also need to get started on writing my workterm report, although I think the topic I’ve picked should be fairly easy to write about.
