I found a nice code highlighting plugin, and since it’s licensed under the LGPL, I’m free to change it how I want! Which is a good thing because I had to change it a bit to fit on this page properly. Anyways, let’s try it out:
Little bit of C#
using System.Junk;
int a = 3;
Bash, anyone?
cat /dev/urandom > f.txt
Cool.

Well, after just a little over 3 months working with Infineon Technologies, in Munich, Germany, it’s time to wrap it up and clean out my desk. For the past 3 months I’ve had a great time working and living in Munich, and Infineon is a great place to do an Internship. During this time I’ve definitely learned more about C#, and programming in general. This isn’t quite the path I’d like to take in the future, but it was a good learning experience nonetheless.
For the last 3 months I’ve been developing a database driven program to create and maintain low-level flash driver firmware settings that get burned into the embedded flash controllers on Infineon’s 32bit Microcontrollers. There, try saying that 3 times fast. I’ve had my fair share of frustrations with C# in the last 3 months, but eventually found solutions to just about all of them. I hope to write about some things I learned at a later time.
I’m not quite saying, “Bye” to Germany yet – I leave on the 30th. From here, Oktoberfest starts tomorrow (!!!). I think I’ll be heading there with a friend I met here. Also, my mom is coming on Monday, and we’ll be going to Berlin on Friday. After that, I fly back to Los Angeles on Tuesday!
All in all though, I’m definitely glad that I came here, and it was a great experience.

I decided to start a blog because.. Well, I’m not sure exactly why I wanted to make a blog. I suppose I just want to write about things that I’m interested. Programming, electronics, food, and other random thoughts. Sometimes at work or at home, I find myself searching endlessly for the solution to a problem that seems simple. When I finally do find the answer, I find myself thinking, “I should really write this down somewhere”, should being the operative word in that sentence.
Well not anymore! I’m going to write about the small problems I have, and write about the solutions I find, in the hopes that someone else might have the same problem, and my solution might help them out.
Other than that, I will most likely be writing about random thoughts and other seeming nonsensical ramblings.
Enjoy!
