I am sorry for getting out blogs so seldom. There is just not enough time to write.
By now you know that I like to put as many videos and pictures in my blog as possible, that is one reason why it takes so long for me to finish each blog. Mainly because our internet connection works only sometimes so it can take some days to upload a single video.

As promised in my last blog here are pictures and videos from Brazilians win at the pub called Woolshed.

Sadly I have been ill again last week. But Tim and I went to Belfast anyway because we have planned the trip already two or three weeks ago. At Friday night I met a lot of friendly people at Sebastian’s and David’s place. The Next Day we went to the Giants Causeway and on Sunday we had a walk through the city before going back to Dublin. Here are some pictures of our trip.

Unfortunately it’s our last weekend here in Dublin so it’s time to say good-bye to all the people we meet here and maybe have a last beer with them. I am looking forward to get back to Berlin for two reasons: I don’t want to live in this apartment anymore and I don’t want to work at my company anymore. If I had a better job and accommodation I would strongly consider staying here for some more months. Dublin feels like home to me by now.

At last here are some more pictures I wanted to share in my lasts blogs but there was not enough web space available at that time.






Ok actually I wanted to share more pictures with you but I don’t want to use all of our webspace that is left.

Later,

were not really exciting. On thursday we stayed at home because we are goint out now (Friday). This is our last Weekend so we are going to enjoy it ALOT! At work I got the Website ready but John wants more details changed… I think it will not go online as long as I’m available at bloomBPO to change things.

Today I programmed noting, was just having a look at the CSS files and fixing some small bugs, had a talk to John and was saying goodby to my french college as it was his last day at bloom today.

Thats it,

C u in 7 Days

Hi folks!
For the last 2 days I can’t report a lot, because till today I was sick and I couldn’t go to work. Nevertheless I followed the tight victory from Germany against Ghana at the apartment of Marco and Alex. The other peers of my apartment followed the game in our favourite pub for FIFA World Cup games. At Saturday we want to go to the coast again, but this time on the other side, I hope the weather will be clear.
I very much look forward to get home!
Greetz to Germany and Belfast.

Hello to everybody,

For some reason my laptop didn’t boot yesterday and I really don’t know why. I used the True Crypt Recovery CD and now it is working fine, so it should be something to do with the boot loader.

Today I have to reinstall another computer to get it working fine. I don’t think that this will take me the whole day, therefor I can use my time to complete the registration for the Cisco competition and to check all e-mails from the OSZ-IMT to get to know what things I have to do here before I leave Ireland. I started to lean for the competition yesterday, but it is very difficult to get me to deal with the Cisco CCNA stuff again and again. Will it never stop?

Hopefully it’s not without success.

Hey everybody,

That’s just a short explanation of what I’m dealing with right now at work. Since Yesterday I am „on site“. That means that I take care of problems concerning customer’s networks. Yesterday I had to configure a Cisco Router and a Firewall to provide secure Internet access. I also established a VPN tunnel to the head office of the company. It took about 4 hours to realize it, but finally it was working.

Today I am on a different customer site. I reconfigured the firewall here as well. I had to change the external IP address because their old one was on the black list caused by spam mails originating from their server, which hast been hacked before. But it is all fine now. As you can see the internet is working right now. The internet at our house at home is not working sufficiently so I just write the article from here. The next one will be on sunday, because it will be a busy weekend for me. I think all of us is dealing with all the different papers and sheets we have to fill out for the oszimt and the projects.

Let’s see if we can provide all requested documents until we come back :).

Leo: I was just upset about Mr. Bavar writing to all of us as a group  and tagging the Mail to CC. That could defenitely lead to trouble with our companies.

 I don’t think that all of us aren’t writing enough Blog entries. It’s just a few.

So sry for my aggressive comment dude…

At work I do the usual. Together with Chris I inspect websites for bugs, mark them, open tickets for new ones, describe them and close them off if they are fixed.

What I learned about how this is done is quite valuable. The programmers program something and test it on their development environments.

Afterwards they push that stuff to a test environment where the test division tests the new things. Then the first bugs are raised already, checked, fixed and closed again. Afterwards depending on how big the site is, the changes or new things are either pushed to the live version directly and then rechecked again or if it is one of the big sites, they are pushed to the release environment. On the release environment they are tested again, fixed and finally we approve of it to be pushed live.

About private things: Of course I have been watching the first two Germany games in a pub with my roommates.

I am glad to have Chris with me at my company. He works much faster than I do and helps me out alot. Thanks to him we finished our tasks so fast that we had a few days on which we hadn’t to do much so we could learn about Cisco (Chris) or Java (me) or check out other things on the web.

On those occasions I read about self developement, about setting and reaching goals and about becoming the best self you can possibly be. I think in the long run this is more valuable than reading about Java or something related to work.

This is what I wanted to share with you in my big blog entry but if you are afraid that i’ll embarrass you/us/the Afib, then I won’t publish it on this platform. I’ll do that somewhere else so the ones who are ready for a change in their ways of thinking won’t miss out.

PS: To all who will be travelling to Ireland or any other country in the future, make sure you bring a camera. I didn’t bring one because I couldn’t afford one but I tell you, without a camera you can’t make pictures and keep all your lovely memories in a picture. So make sure to bring a camera!

Kind regards, Leo

don’t be too hard on me David 😉

Basically I wanted to make up for not writing a single blog entry in two weeks.

Now I have gotten three comments already not to publish my magnum opus. And from the tone of the comments I guess you are pretty upset too.

I apologize if you feel that I embarrassed us. I’ll publish it somewhere else.

Kind regards, Leo
