So, I just read something online that irritates me

Dunkin Donuts has hot apple cider now. Why can't there be a DD closer than the small handful in Dallas? ;_;

because dunkin's lied to you. america doesn't run on dunkin. only bawstun does.

Of course. Boston is the center of the universe; courtesy of the popular belief that Brooklyn is -w-

@Kari: That drawing is so adorable <3

Finally, things at the company are getting huge! Got a look yesterday at the super-secret source code for the client/server apllications that control their robots. A whole day of going through sources, getting explained how everything works together (the head programmer here is terrific, that code is extremely clean written) I can't really tell you anything else about the code since I'm under an NDA, but the language bears enough similarities to Java that I didn't have many problems understanding the syntax.
Also today was quite a surprise. Originally I should've worked another day at the metal factory but when I got there in the morning my cousin told me that the IT guy had called and I should come to the software department.  I mentioned before that I was extremely interested in robots and stuff, turns out that they had two Lego Mindstorms NXT robots for their apprentices. They gave me a laptop, some books and a robot and I could spend the whole day making that robot do things (it's either programmed via a crappy GUI or a pretty standard C dialect - never did C before but still chose it since the book about the language was really well written).

TL;DR. Spent the awesome last two days looking at super-secret source code, studying two new programming languages and making little robots move around

Sounds nice. I always wanted my own Lego Mindstorms set. Thing is, they cost like $500+ last I checked @_@

But, I always wanted to build and program my own little robots

[Pitkin]

Paul, now that sounds fantastic! I'm aware of at least a handful of people who'd just kill for a job like yours. x)

[Chocofreak13]

i know plenty. what a cool job. :0

thanks, btw. :3

[Paul]

Well, the first two weeks were a lot of hard work (painting stairs, angle-grinding the floor, moving metal parts...) but hey, now I'm even getting free lessons for PLC programming

[Chocofreak13]

you get to program robots. that alone is cool. :3

[Nichi]

Seconded :3

Also, I'd love to have a job like that
