Don’t be mistaken, this is actually an error message, as you can see, being printed on the terminal. One lovely function just kept funking with my heart

… Fakat neden HSV penceresinde tepe taklak duruyorum, hala en ufak bir fikrim yok. Yine de şunu demek istiyorum: Ehe

Teyze, istersen kendini ameliyatla bana yapıştır, siyam ikizleri gibi etrafta dolaşalım; bu sıra yine de ilerlemiyor, e doğal olarak biz de bir yere gitmiyoruz. Şimdi memelerini masa olarak kullandığın sol kolumdan indir ve iki adım geriye git!

Bir yerlerde doğup, bir yerlerde büyüyoruz. Seçme şansımız olmadığı gibi karşı koyma gücümüz de olmuyor; yetiştiğimiz yerin kültürüyle şekilleniyoruz. Belirli hayat tarzlarını kendimize uygun bulup, bunlara göre yaşamaya başlıyoruz. Bilmiyorum hiç düşündün mü? Belki de sen buraya ait değilsin; senin burada olman bir hata. Belki de daha rahat olabileceğin başka bir şehir, “ev” diyebileceğin başka bir mekan var. Peki orayı bulduğunda arkada bıraktıklarına ne olacak?

Ait olmak nedir? Ait hissetmek için ne yapmak gerekir?

The database of the project was created with MySQL. However, I’m very ashamed to say I couldn’t find the location of the database therefore it is not in the given CD but here is a screenshot of the tables…

Track#17

Sometimes it’s them, sometimes it’s what we can’t deny and sometimes it’s just us; trying to bend what eyes can see so it can fit our rules which we consider as unbreakable. Truth is, happiness awaits beyond these borders of mind. I’m now in some place so far from their horizon of imagination. Somewhere free and no one with strict boundaries can find. I’m waiting for you and so afraid to find out that you too won’t be able to find me here.

With every PC bought and brought home, a bond between the user and the PC is made and it develops in time.  Unfortunately, it is common to see a PC to adopt unique and independent characteristics as time goes by. That’s exactly when you have to accept your computer as he/she is and name him/her in order to show your respect to his/her personality. <OffTopic>Yes, I don’t mind or get bored of writing “him/her” or “he/she” all the time. </OffTopic>

I have a laptop, Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro v2045. I call her Amy because she has proven several times that she deserves to be treated as an individual. Amy is using Windows XP and have to say within 4 years of our friendship, she has been more understanding and enduring than the other PCs I used in the past. I bought Amy when I started university and since my major is Computer Science & Engineering, I used this laptop not just for web surfing and online chatting. Unlike Dexter (a desktop of mine he used to be), Amy needed only two hdd formatting. May not mean anything much to you but only two formatting means the world to me, considering that I have tons of software installed and have my Audition session and source (midi, wav, …) files stored here.

For the last two years Amy has been someone else. She insistently wants to close Firefox. Please notice that when I say wants to close Firefox I don’t mean giving error messages saying “You are not paying any attention to me so I will be closing this application you insensitive asshole!”, I mean dragging the cursor to the big, red X on the top right corner and somehow clicking it. She used to give error messages, mostly when iTunes was running, and shut herself down when I ignored her cries for attention. Then on one sad day, she crashed her hard disk. A very tragic day of my life, it was. This was her second formatting.

The thing is, we gave Amy a new hdd, and have been taking well care of her since then. Though, obviously, somethings can’t be undone. She did tire me out, we are just not the way we used to be and I just don’t friggin’ understand WHY THE HELL SHE IS STILL GIVING HDD ERRORS!!!

Amy, I’m sorry, but I have to say; the sacred bond between a PC and his/her user is broken. I’m here with you because of my needs only. We’ve been through some good and bad stuff and I cherish each one. Unfortunately, you have pushed hard on my limits of patience and proven that life span of a laptop is no more than 4 years. I don’t mean to hurt your feelings but it’s the truth. I’ll leave you for another PC soon. You know it’s best for both of us. Please don’t try to take revenge by closing Firefox when it has more than 20 tabs opened! I promise to give you space in return. kthnxbai.

Note to self: Get a life!

Tanrım! Böyle bir yazı yazdığıma inanamıyorum ama resmen oldu bu. Resmen açtığım blog’da bölümümle ilgili bir şeyler yazma gereği hissettim. Üstelik yazdıklarımın içeriği küfür değil. Çok değişik duygular.

Bu dönem tezimi aldım; OpenCV ile bayağı haşır neşir olacağım.  Bilindiği gibi OpenCV’nin 1.1 sürümü çıktı. Açıkçası 1.0 sürümü ile daha çok açıklama ve tutorial bulduğum için 1.1 ile olan beraberliğim 2 hafta içinde sona ermek durumunda kaldı. Zaten cvcam’i kaldırmışlar ve dökümantasyonlarda geçen şu cümle karar vermemde epey yardımcı oldu: [...]

Bilmek istemiyorum arkadaşım! Git Hey, Girl! falan al, onların içinden sürüsüne bereket anket çıkıyor zaten; yap oradaki testleri sen de rahatla, biz de rahatlayalım. Türk milleti olarak ne boş, ne işsiz, ne fuzuli yaratıklarmışız meğer. Test yapan yapana! Bari notification larını kapa da milyon tane şey çıkmasın karşımıza. Burama kadar geldi adeta (şakak hizzasında bir yer göstermek)

Ayrıca buradan Facebook developer larına şöyle bir beddua göndermek istiyorum: Umarım filtrelerinizin tanımlayamadığı milyonlarca spam inbox larınıza doluşur da e-mail larınızı okuyamazsınız. Senelerce de sürsün bu illet!

Whatever your major and the department you worked at may be, there are a few things that have to be in your conclusion (even if most of them are not true at all):

1. How thrilling it was to be an actual member of the business world even if it was for a limited interval of time
2. The importance of learning how to communicate with your supervisors
3. The image of what you want to do when you graduate getting clearer
4. Getting to know the importance of team work
5. How useful the internship period was and the magnificent awakenings it has caused

If you have a second internship period, know that your conclusion does not necessarily have to be different. You can use those 5 articles in your conclusion but just indicate that now you are a lot better and experienced at them since this is your second time as a member of the dazzling world of business.

As for the rest of the internship report just babble about what you did and fill the rest with technical stuff. My favorite way of writing technical explanations is mixing a few articles and translating the mix from one language to another (English to Turkish in my case). If you know more than 2 languages then great! If you only know one language then feel free to be creative.

PS: I blame the system!
