day 4: building 88

met the team and set up my office today!! i’ll be working in building 88 (my lucky number!!) with everyone in the windows & windows live division. 

we got there and were shown our offices! i’m sharing an office with grace gee, another intern from harvard. there’s a third explorer intern next door and two regular test interns across the hall. 

room 2653:

task 1 of the day: setting up my pc. i’ve never really set up an entire workstation and everything from scratch before, so it was pretty interesting.

all set up!!

my team is working on the super cool people app for the new windows 8 operating system  (here’s a video about windows 8 and the people app:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDYQmQ-phX8)!

our specific project that we’ll be working on the next three months is to integrate sina weibo (china’s “twitter” and biggest social networking site) into the people app that currently only supports facebook and twitter. 

excited to actually start working on it!
