Even though i was supposed to have completed my internship at YerPhI on Tuesday (as Wednesday was a holiday and Thursday afternoon I flew out to Paris), certain bugs in my program have caused me to have to bring some of my equipment back to the house so that I could work on it from home on Wednesday. Thursday I came in to work, so that my coworker Mikayel would be able to drive me over to the airport during his lunch break. And now I am here in Paris.
Me and my extended host family, only a few nights before I left.
It's been a fun experience again in Armenia; not only fun, but also very helpful to the people I have been working with. Until I came, they had never considered the idea of using the language C to program microcontrollers, and had been doing it the old fashioned way, using assembly language. For those of you with lack of experience in computers, assembler is the Latin of computers. I came in, and taught them a new way of doing things, and using this new technique, helped them create a control system for a furnace.
The furnace, the control-board, and power supply system.
This is in stark contrast to my previous internship last summer in Gyumri, where I did barely any work at all (no offense to my dear friends at GITC). This time, my work was very important to my coworkers, and I feel a sense of accomplishment worthy of being placed on my resumé. Perhaps I may be able to come back to work at YerPhI again in the future? I cannot say yet about that.
And here, I shall post some pictures from the last few weeks:
I'm riding a horse!
Mourners gather and lay down flowers at the Genocide memorial on April 24th
Candles lit in the Geghart Monastery (it's not as dark as it looks, it's just that I put the shutter speed very fast so that less light enters the camera. it looked cooler this way)
The opera house, and a concert taking place in front of it
