Code highlighting plugin

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.

Time to wrap things up here

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.

This is a blog

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!
