beginning of the internship project - post 1.

As part of my third semester for my study, (still studying! - some folks said I was a late developer) I have had to find a company that I can use and who can use me in a process of mutual "useiness" (what a great word! don't bother looking it up, it don't exist). Luckily, the company who have agreed to work with me and I it, is one that has agreed to work with me in the past and paid me for such pleasure - amazing that there are still folk out there willing to hire an old unknowledgeable horse like myself - I jest, of course.
 But to the brass tacks - I have to come up with a few ideas that said company could use me to implement/ investigate etc. As I have been working with this company before (btw, the company is called Comtech A/S) I have a good idea of what they do and what they could do. In this, coupled with my education and some of the ideas that I have, three different(though could be connected) avenues have opened for investigation -
1. to design and implement a skinnable Twitter like api that could be used for communication and interaction at conferences and industry/commercial expo's.
2. to design and implement a 3d-mapping project for a cultural event  - the grand opening of the Bella Center Hotel which will take place in about three months time could be a contender.
3. to design, implement and extend the use of SMS, MMS and social media on a commercial basis in a real time environment. An example of this can been seen here (video at bottom) where Comtech were involved in setting up the screens and the back end frame work.

So those are the three ideas which I will submit to the company and see which one sticks.

 As for this blog, I will be posting stuff on it applicable to the internship, the previous semesters work so that I can build a portfolio (though I will be working on another more appropriate site for that as time goes on and my own (stunning!) graphic work which I just can't seem to shake - that and the music - I guess those my catharsis. And above is a video blog broadening some of the three ideas. My writing my be long winded - but by christ, you should hear me talk!!

And here is a little of some things that Comtech could be getting themselves more into - video
