Day 7 began rather slowly, especially for Felipe. While we initially didn’t have anything to do, we were eventually given emails that people would receive if there was a security threat detected on their network. We looked through each one, and then helped Brett write a brief synopsis of the email and any errors that we found. Jack also played around with an eye tracker that Greyson had given us, which was quite interesting to watch, as it allows everyone around you to see where you are looking on the screen.
After finishing that short project, the representative from Medion came in. He is from Germany, and actually arrived a few days ago, but he brought us interns some German candy, theoretically from Germany.
After sitting around for a bit, Felipe finally decided to show up to work, and we began some real work. Greyson came over and talked to us about what would probably be “the most important thing we did during this internship”. While he did also say that that might not be totally true, it was going to be important. Our task was to look at the current version of Lenovo Vantage Gaming, which is on all of the Lenovo Legion computers. The little battery icon in the bottom right of the screen is a actually a Vantage toolbar, on both versions of the app. However, Greyson (and perhaps others) wanted to know if we thought that it should be different on the gaming version, and if so, what should be different. So, we looked at the current version, and started brainstorming in a group.
Now, everyone knows that you can’t brainstorm effectively if you haven’t eaten, so a little while after starting our research, we headed out to get some pizza. The pizza place was actually right next to the Tropical Smothie Cafe that we got lunch at yesterday. The slices that we got were huge, and I mean huge, while the drinks, well, they were just normal sized.
After returning from lunch, our brainstorming and creating mock ups of the toolbar continued. We finished the presentation by about 15:00, and headed down to the far corner of the second floor to present. We ended up presenting to Greyson and a new college intern named Brad. I would say the presentation went quite well, and Greyson liked the work we had done. After that, our penultimate 7th day was over.
