Hi,

I have to make two videos. The first video is about Caroline. She works for the tv channel fyi and doo-lally.com clothed Caroline for her TV appearances.

It´s not easy to choose the right images and music.

Some ideas for the videos were to buisness like or the ideas were to crazy. The same task I have to do with Kristeen´s images. She works for the tv channel rte3.

I have to edit the side bar on the website. I have to write a new java script function. So first I most read a lot about java script.

Today I worked again at Computer Doctor after a long time. Peter wanted to teach us something about troubleshooting of laptops and especially the hardware components.

Of course Peter was not there for us the whole day, because he is the boss and has to do something else, but Mark the hardware specialist taught us about it. It is very interesting and relaxing to listen to Mark, because he is a calm person. I think Mark likes to teach us and to explain everything he’s doing.
Today we got a laptop, which was only four weeks old but it looked like it was 4 years old. The entire keyboard was sticky. We smelled the reason. White Wine!!!

It was so disgusting and sticky. The poor laptop. However, it was a perfect example for using a laptop the way you should not do it.

Hi there,

yesterday was not my best day. It rained and it was the first time it got wet. However that was not the real problem here. My supervisor checked the working hours and found out that nobody ever mentioned to me that there are no real flexible working hours(never believe anything that SWAN says) but two possible periods of time. But when you are not here at the first time(8.30) then its counted as if you come 9.00. So everyday I lost about 30minutes because I always left after a little less than 8 hours after my arrival. Now after only two weeks of working I have an accumulated absence of work of more than 5 hours… And to get those compensated I have to stay up even earlier.

I am sorry for Florian doing all the shopping because I leave when he is still sleeping and and return when he is already at home for an hour.

However the weather is fine now and so am I.

See you next time

Techmatic, 9 o’clock, booting all pc’s and servers, work is starting..

You all know that we built up some old Dell-pcs in Techmatic and in Computer Doctor we repaired laptops or deleted viruses.
We expanded the working area to work on multiple pcs at the same time.
Philipp set up a Proxy and DHCP Server, JJ set up some products on ebay and i prepared some computers with the necessary hardware.
We decided that the best way to install all the software and operating software is to create an image of a perfect installed computer and recover this image to all the other computers.
So, we used a live boot cd (Acronis) and set up the pc with the images, which you can find in a shared folder in the network. We also could use a pxe-boot.
But we thought it was an easier and faster way to set up the computer.
Push START! EASY.
Most time is spent on installing all the ram modules and harddrives, because you have to check the computers, if they will boot or not and so on.
That was a day in Techmatic, again.

We talked about the website www.doo-lally.com.

We said our ideas to improve the website. Some ideas were prossible to change. My colleague wrote a new java script and I made the changes for the login in on the website. The result were a better overviewe for the customer.

After the work were easter and now I will enjoy my easter days.

p.s. sry I forgot to publish the article, sorry.

hey,

my wednesday at work was a short one. I asked Fiona, if I could book a flight at 5.30pm to germany because it would be 70€ cheaper than flying on thursday. Because of that, i needed to be on the airport around 3pm. Lucky for me, Fiona offered me, to drop me off at the airport. So I spent the first hours at work, continuing the work on the CRM we started the day before. Then we made a bit brainstorming to analyse, what we had to do on the CRM system to accomplish everything, Fiona wants. And yes, we understood her thoughts a lot better the next day. So we created a timeplan, how long which task would take us. Around 2pm i finished my reports for the social networks and my daily report, what i had accomplished. After i finished that i packed my things and went to the other room. There was the daily meeting. But the daily meeting took longer than expected. Spanish people love to talk. So around 3.30pm we drove off to the airport. It was hot this day so it was very nice, that Fiona drives a BMW cabriolet. At the airport everything went smoothly. It took me some time, to get my boarding pass because the online check-in only worked with a seat-reservation and this would’ve cost 5€. It would be a printer requiered as well, so i wouldnt have been able to print it out anyway. So that much from my side for this week.

see you next week. i wish you all the best

Hey there,

so lets talk about the things happend on tuesday. We didnt move to the new office on this day as well. Yep, i dont see it, that we will move there anytime soon. After i finished my task about the keywords of the webside and google crawled our side with the changed sourcecode we got the task to take a deeper look into the CRM-program vtiger. Neither of us (Virginia and me) have work with an CRM until now. So we needed to understand, what Fiona wanted to accomplish with that system. After a few minutes talking it through with her, we were as knowledgable as before. She couldnt say cleary but one word always stuck out. „reports“. So we had to figure something out. but that lasted until wednesday.

so see you again in 15 minutes

Hey dudes,

hey,

Im sorry, i didnt get to write my blogs until now. I had a lot to do, the last days before eastern.
So monday, we were supposed to go to the new office. It was planned, that we would meet at Fionas (Fiona is my boss) and she would drive us to the new office. But that didnt work out. In Fiona opinion, it would take to much time to go there. So in the end we stayed in the kitchen. It got crowded in there, because one of the spanish salespeople sat there too, because they needed silence in the other room. In the end the four of us sat at the small kitchentable. I edited the keywords of the webpage again a bit, to get it higher ranked in the google search results and created my daily report about the social network hits. Then we had our daily meeting, how we could get more traffic on our side.

thats the first – two to go see ya in about 15 minutes 🙂

Hi again,

Happy Easter to everyone…

Yesterday we had a nice walk to the harbor – luckily the weather is still perfekt so the coats we took along were useless. Actually the harbor is no tourist feature, but with the weather and the fresh air we still enjoyed the day. „Jonas Ehrhardt – A walk on the harbor“ weiterlesen
