Back from the Haitus!

Hello everyone! Well, I think it’s been almost a year since I’ve written a blog. I’m just starting the third year now. Gosh, I feel old. I was a fresher when I wrote the last blog. A lot has happened since then. Second year was just something else. First year at university was only the tip of the iceberg in every possible way. Right from the start I had a good sense of familiarity of the place. Southampton was my jolly good town. I knew to expect the worst in the second year. Continue reading →

First week at Ericsson & Exam Results

Hello my lovely blog readers :-) I think the first thing to say is "yayy I got a 2:1 for first year"!!

So, I thought, hell yeah, put me anywhere on god's green earth and I’ll get through with ease …until last weekend. Just two days before the Easter break ends, I attended a conference like no others.

Working at IBM

Work continues steadily at IBM. If I told you what I was actually doing I'd have to kill you - such is confidentiality - and I'd prefer not to have to trace the IP of everyone who visits this blog and hunt them down with some futuristic weapon that nobody knows about yet either. I've always thought there were two major points I'd have to consider when considering a role in a company: firstly, how technical it is, and secondly how artistic it is. Continue reading →
