Welcome everybody, to 2006!
This year Kelvin’s resolutions are:
The spring semester doesn’t start until the 23rd, so I’ll be working full time for a few weeks. Before school starts though, I still need to get a laptop. Help! The new car is doing well. Which reminds me, I need to sell the old one. Spending the remainder of my time with Judy. ^_^d
Happy New Year people!
Today’s the last day of my summer internship here at Ask Jeeves Los Gatos. Tuoc paid for lunch for the whole office at Chevy’s on Saratoga as we have 4 or 5 new people on board. Today’s also the last day for the other intern Mariya, she’ll be heading back to Duke.
I’ve had a pretty good time here. The environment is friendly and pretty lax. I wish I could have gotten my hands dirty on more code. I’m sure that’ll come with time though. Hopefully I’ll have the opportunity to work in the new office after school starts.
It’s been a very positive experience. Good times.
We went to some Pho place for lunch today, but nobody knows what the name of the place is. Nor could I find any info about it on the web. Here’s a gmap of it. If anybody knows how to put arbitrary markers on gmaps, please send me a message or post in the forum.
Today at work we had an ice cream social. Five flavors of Baskin Robbins ice cream.
This is what happens when you send engineers to go buy the icecream. I think, in all, we ate maybe half of the total icecream.
“We plan for scalability,” says Mahmoud.
Good pistachio though. I like green ice cream.
To celebrate the 1.2 launch Sam from marketing treated us to lunch at Chelokababi. Mahmoud suggested this persian place. He says it’s been around since 1979. Over all, the experience was quite nice. The Soltani was pretty good, the basmati rice was excellent. Even the wine was ok. Probably the most outstanding part of the place was the decor. We ate in the back banquet room. For the prices of the meals, the furnishings and design of the place was just gorgeous. The restroom was the finest public restroom I have ever seen. Ever. As my first experience at a Persian restaurant, I must admit I was impressed. Good times.
