blog: reloaded

Its been over a year since I posted on my blog. That kind of makes me ... umm sorry for myself. Life had been dull, didn't do much so didn't have anything to say.Now my pre-final years are finally over, when I return to my collage, I would have become a final year student.YES! Today i feel like talking about my internship here at ITR, DRDO Chandipur, Orissa.

I was assigned work at Data Processing Division at ITR. The first impression of everything about DRDO was good, in fact good cannot describe the awesomeness of it all. So DPD is located at the control center building and there is this real life sized agni model erected right in-front of the entrance. The central computer is located in a picturesque lab with this really nice video wall and server-chains below it (nonetheless i was assigned a computer in the mission control room, which happens to be equally cool).

About my work: this is the interesting part. I was assigned to develop an app which would display incoming data from data acquisition system on the central server, as a result i had to learn Qt - a GUI framework based on C++ . New technologies always make me happy. So as  of now i am 2 weeks into my internship, working on this display application. Hope by the end of it I would have learnt a lot.
