Internship Coming to an End!!!

Today is the second last day(or rather night) of my internship and it is coming to an end and I dont know what I am still doing at the office. maybe I dont want to let go of my IP Phone, maybe I am going to miss my laptop, maybe its the 100 K download speed but I guess this is time to say good bye.

Tomorrow I am getting my certificate and I'll be off for good. Well the whole experience was fun. I think I'll miss the samosa parties, the occasional extravagant meals(lamb roast, lasagne, etc). The people were nice. NCR has its share of smartasses, dumbasses, nice people and bad people, but I guess I'm going to miss Altaf and Helper the most. Salman or "Helper" as we like to call him is a considerate dude who'll come, spend time with you tell you stuff about your code and bug you till your head is about to explode but the magic is that in the end you feel like thanking him for it. He is a JSP dude who gave us a lot of tips and tricks.

Altaf on the other hand impressed me even before my internship. Rather he is the reason that I did my internship at NCR in the first Place. I really like the way he presented his company at GIKI last year ( during the b11 job tests). He let us sit for the test and later when I got selected, I couldnt say no. Even today he sat down with me and tried to help me find out a problem with performing operation on Access Dates, using the JDBC-ODBC driver bridge. In the end we both came to the conclusion that Access Sucks.

The City of Islamabad initially appeared to be a dissapointment after all I heard about the place but now I think I might miss it and also the whole internship experience. But then again this is a transitory period of my life. But who knows where I'll be doing a job next year. I have lots of obstacles right in front of me at the moment like :-

1. Learning how to drive in 20 days
2. Stydying for CCNA in 20 days
3. Meeting everyone in the next 20 days

But the thing I want to do most of all is to get some shuteye. Preferably for the rest of my vacations. I also need music. MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!! Its been ages.

Well I guess Its getting late and it might be a good time to call it a day!!!. I would love to hear from all my readers so leave comments. I know you guys stop by really frequently. The counter shows it all. Which reminds me I need to add a clock to my blog. Okay ppl until next time. Take Care.

I'm leaving this conversation for you guys to read. Its a chat I had a couple of years back with a friend on Java and C++. This stuffs so funny that you'll laugh your brains out. I changed his nick in order to preserve his identity but you guys are welcome to try and guess :P

<br />O_O therE?<br />I-T yes <br />O_O wassup? <br />I-T bas theek <br />I-T Tum sunao <br />O_O main fit <br />O_O yar ek baat poochney hai <br />I-T bol <br />O_O u know mice c++ is weak <br />O_O v weak <br />I-T yes mice arent good at C++ <br />I-T :) <br />O_O hmmmm <br />O_O acha ek baat bata <br />O_O r c++ n java same?? <br />I-T O_O u know 4mice c++ is weak <br />I-T no <br />I-T They are different languages <br />O_O acha <br />I-T Just read through some book on C++ <br />I-T And do the exercises <br />I-T That is enough <br />O_O can we do all things in java which we do in java? <br />I-T n we do all things in java which we do in java? <br />O_O i mean <br />I-T What do you mean by doing all the things in JAVA which <br />you can do in JAVA <br />I-T ?? <br />O_O can we do all things in java which we do in c++? <br />I-T yeah <br />I-T But java is classes based <br />I-T Pure Object Oriented <br />I-T It'll be hard for you a bit <br />O_O hmmmmm <br />O_O is java better or c++? <br />I-T depends which aspect you look at it from?? <br />O_O making programs <br />O_O wise <br />I-T with Java you dont have many libraries and help <br />I-T So you'll have to research a lot yourself <br />I-T C++ has a lot of help availible <br />O_O in making programs c++ is tough or java? <br />I-T for you Java <br />O_O hmmmm <br />I-T Cos you dont know what objects are I guess <br />I-T C++ is better <br />I-T It is more widely used <br />O_O u mean private n public classes? <br />I-T It has better support <br />I-T no dumbiee <br />I-T Yaara C++ hi parho <br />I-T Go through that book <br />I-T Issey paka karo <br />I-T And then later you might think about trying Java <br />I-T once your concepts are strong <br />O_O hmmmmm <br />I-T Whats with the - hmmmmm <br />O_O thinking <br />O_O ... <br />O_O yar do both languages have same logic? <br />I-T yaara so ja tu jaa ke <br />I-T Logic same hi hoti hai universially <br />I-T Do you even know what logic means?? <br />O_O i mean making program logic.... <br />I-T Open a dictionary and look up logic <br />I-T it is the same in every language of the world <br />I-T and's and or's <br />I-T That is logic <br />O_O acha if i know java;does it mean its of no use to cover c++? <br />I-T no <br />O_O yar wait a sec......mom calling <br />I-T Ok <br />I-T mainly cos I dont think you are in a position to cover java by yourself right now <br />I-T And C++ has market dominance <br />I-T Tu java karney ka ho sakta hai ke tumhe faida na ho <br />O_O hmmm <br />I-T cos Java isnt that widely used <br />O_O hmmmm <br />I-T Whats with the - hmmmmm <br />I-T ??? <br />O_O wat can we not do in java which can we do in c++? <br />I-T Does hmmmmm mean that I'm boring you?? <br />O_O thinking..... <br />I-T acha <br />O_O ooo nahin yar <br />O_O u r giving me info <br />I-T Yaara you dont understand, you can do everything in assebly which you can do in other languages <br />I-T By why dont you code in assembly <br />O_O which is very useful n i am thinking on it <br />I-T The answer is simple <br />O_O wat to do... <br />I-T Convineince <br />I-T C++ is more convinient <br />I-T And powerful too <br />I-T Java is not convinient <br />I-T Cos its not dominating the market <br />O_O in sense of libraries? <br />I-T Java programmers have less support <br />I-T And there are less libraries <br />O_O in wat sense r u saying its not dominating market? <br />I-T YEs <br />I-T java programmers are a few <br />I-T Compared to <br />I-T C <br />O_O in which sense u r saying support? <br />I-T Help <br />O_O java has less support <br />O_O hmmm <br />I-T If you cant do something in Java you cant get help from anyone <br />I-T In C++ someone else would have done something like that <br />and you can get help from web sites <br />I-T That is support <br />I-T Libraries are different <br />I-T Read about these things <br />O_O u mean it`s compilar dont indicate synatx n other errors? <br />I-T Libraries are compiled header files <br />I-T No yaar <br />I-T It does indicate errors <br />I-T but these are low level logic errors <br />O_O wat u mean by low logic? <br />I-T What if you cant do something, e.g. plot a graph <br />I-T What'll you do <br />I-T If you have no sample code to look at <br />I-T See what I mean?? <br />O_O hmmmmm <br />I-T Just use the internet and read about these things <br />O_O u mean its has no examples? <br />I-T I gotta go now <br />O_O not exacty got u <br />I-T Class at 3: <br />O_O okie <br />O_O thanx <br />O_O bubye <br />I-T Aik second <br />O_O k <br />I-T have you seen the C++ book <br />I-T ?? <br />I-T They have code samples <br />I-T Right <br />O_O ya <br />I-T you can refer to those code samples and they help you program <br />O_O java book dont have code exampleS? <br />I-T You have millions of code samples on the web for C++ <br />I-T But only a few for Java <br />I-T There are code samples <br />I-T but there are a few <br />I-T Get it <br />I-T ?? <br />O_O hmmmm <br />I-T so hence Java is difficult to learn <br />I-T now I'm off <br />I-T Ah <br />I-T Use the internet to read about the points that we discusses <br />I-T *discussed <br />O_O hmmm <br />O_O chalo okie <br />I-T use www.google.com <br />O_O hmmmm <br />O_O k <br />
