the tuesday , wednesday duology

im just gonne write about today and yesterday seeing as i didnt blog yesterday.

i worked on finding a clock widget which shows the time from diffrent countries(rather then your own), the search was a succes.
me and another team mate did a combined search to find a widget which shows where the visitors on the site are from and point that on the map( which has proven to be a bigger fish then the other widgets, we still havent really found one we would want to call our own).

we had a few meetings about ideas , the progress on the project, enz.

also i did some research about the marketing of widgets.

thats about it for those two days.

widget progress

today was a good day.
we found 5 widgets we might use in the PlanLive project(nothing's certain yet).
wont reveal too many details till the bosses have seen them and approved them.

but there's no point in reading this blog if i say nothing so ill spoil some info about one of the widgets i was working on today.

i was working on finding a suitable translation widget.
i found multiple of them but had to decide which one was the most suitable for plan.
the question is if my choice supports all the language's required for this project( something ill check tomorrow).
i won't reveal which exact widget i have in mind seeing as it isnt approved yet.

also we got some members from other departments to talk about what it is they exactly do, we plan on going down the whole company finding out what everyone does to really get the feel of the company.

first week

the first week of the internship at Plan Nederland is over( not counting the week of the communication training).

since the team got to know each other at the comm training, there was no need for introduction.

the first day we had a meeting explaining both the pedia and widget project in full detail and got settled in what will be our work place for the next 5 months.

the workplace is nice and clean, the co workers are nice, and i could probably write a whole blog about the coffee( taste's good and alot of different type's of coffee), to sum it all up the taste of the coffee is probably one of the biggest factors in a work place(ill just stop typing about my coffee addiction before things get out of hand).


after some researching and brainstorming we decided on the sort of widgets we wanted to use for the PlanLive project.

the next step will be to dive more deeper with a better focus on the widgets.

i look forwards to the future of the project, and hopefully after you've read this you look forward to my next blog, with new details on the project and perhaps the coffee.

start of the project

yesterday was the start of the plan live project(both widget and pedia), i am in the widget team.

as a start where researching information about widgets and deciding which widgets we will use and implement, i hope to reveal more information in the future as the project goes along.

communication training

yesterday i came back from the communication training i had with the rest of the interns of the Plan Live project, there where also a lot of interns from other company's .

the training lasted 2,5 days and contained both indoor communication training, and outdoor group game's.

the indoor part was about the different communication style's people have and how to adapt to those style's, the four different style's where supporter, controller,analyzer and promoter(mine was controller).

the outdoor part was made up out of different games and activities which where suppose to be solved as a team.

overall it was an interesting experience.
