Finally, I have my own blog. I posted the first entry today because it's my birthday. Now, I'm doing internship in Pittsburgh. I have to wake up about 5.30 am. to catch a bus at 6.25. In the first week, the bus came on time almost everyday. And I can catch another bus that leave downtown at 6.35. After the first week, it always come late about 10-15 minutes. If it's late just 10 minutes, it's ok because I can catch a bus at 6.45. But the last 2 days, I had to run to catch the bus at 6.45 because it arrived downtown at 6.45. I arrived the company about 7.25. I have to work 8 hours a day and I have 30 minutes lunch break. So, I leave the company about 4 pm, walk about 10 minutes to bus stop and arrive home about 5 pm.
Althought the company that I'm working for isn't a software company, I learn many things about software and web development. I'm working on one project which is developing web application with ASP.Net. It's easy to develop a web using ASP.Net. However, after I used Rails to develop this blog, I think I like Rails more.
I got new TV yesterday. I watched a game show called "I survived a japanese game" show from ABC last night. The show combine japanese game show with reality show. They did very good job, it's very funny and I couldn't stop watching it. Moreover, today I got my iPhone 3GS. I haven't activated it yet. I plan to do it tonight.
About internship, I presented the application that I've been developing for 4 weeks. The clients like it and want to use it. In the past the clients use spreadsheet to do one task. My manager think that it can be changed to database application. So, she assigned this job to me. We designed the database together and I developed the application. I've done two types of aplication. One is Access application and another one is web application with ASP.NET. They do the same thing, have the same function. My manager like the web one more than the Access one. However, we cannot go with it because the server doesn't support ASP.NET.
This week, I trained users how to use the application I've developed. I can feel that they like it. However, they want me to add more functions and want to change report format.
I've talked to my supervisor, she told me that this application will reduce time that managers have to spend on this task. Also, the old system, they can work on it only one person at a time. That means other managers have to wait until a manager who is using it finish the task.
Nest week, I will train content creators to make webpages with CSS because the old web pages they have don't use CSS and when they want to change their web theme they have to change every single page. So, I suggest that they should use CSS and my supervisor agree with me. :D
I'm glad to see that the application I developed can save manager's time and make things better.
