Friday

On Friday I also worked at “Computer Doctor”. Dustin and I created a TO-DO-LIST with all these little projects we got from Peter. Meanwhile, JJ worked on the current website of “Computer Doctor”. His task was to create a little flash animation or a slideshow with some pictures of the company.

After we finished the to-do-list, I researched something about the “Da Vinci” program. Everybody knows, that this program financed our Dublin abode. Peter gained experience with the swan institute over the years and he was not always amused. Anyway, we should collect some information about this “Da Vinci” program.

Peter gave a lot of small projects to us.

For example:

–          Create a PDF document in the form of a running sheet

–          Logo design

–          Configure a Cisco router

–          …

And of course repair some laptops.

weekend almost over

hey there

yeah the weekend is nearly over and we didnt do anything special (suprise, suprise). Friday I was bummed out by work. I even slept in the bus at the way home. So i decided to just have a quiet evening. At this day Denny and I had pizza. The problem was, Dennys stomach didnt like it. So he spent the saturday in bed. I wandered between bed and living room. I wasn’t sick like Denny, but didnt have any motivation to do something. So I stayed in and watched movies (in english of course 😉 ). Like the saturday ended the sunday began. Just taking a shower and do nothing.

I think I didn’t tell you. But at work we are moving out of the house from our boss and in a business like office. It is a office for startup companies, if i understood her right. This may reduce the way to and from work slightly. 🙂 And maybe they even have comfortable chairs.

this was it from me. has a nice evening.

fresh sea air(follow up)

hiThat’s the post where you will actually read and see something about my joy of being here and breathing fresh sea air.

During the first two weeks I had enough time to test run some jogging routes. I must admit it is a pleasure to run in the morning and breathe some sea air. It seems it has a positive effect on my running performance because in Germany the route i run before going to work is 5km long and here I run 5 miles and do not feel a difference. This will be a nice preparation for the team relay run in June where i run for the IT department of the MPIB.

My favorite track i use to run now leads along the Lagan lake and is quite pretty along with a spectacular scenery compared to my usual track in Berlin…

But see for yourselves:

fresh sea air

As you may have noticed while reading our blog, the amount of posts increased dramatically to meet required post numbers…
…in the end it’s just quantity that counts.
That’s why I also won’t bother and split all my posts in small, almost twitter-like, posts because regardless of the length and quality I also have to meet the required numbers. Assuming that this way any post will be lost in an avalanche of meaningless noise i see no point in really caring about what i write here anymore. Just see for yourself what has been posted in the last 48h. Do I really want to be associated with these posts? Now it occurs to me that it was a bad decision to give the link to this blog to my boss here in Ireland… „fresh sea air“ weiterlesen

Thursday

Thursday I was at “Computer Doctor” again. We had to install Windows XP on 3 desktop-pcs, installing the drivers and updates. “JJ” and Dustin started and everything went fine. I – of cause – got the broken one.

So I got another one to do a little patchwork and who would have thought: didn’t work! So a third and a forth. When we finished the task we sat down with Peter, drank a coffee and talked about some projects. There are too many projects to complete them all but because of this we can decide which one interests us the most and then do it.

The projects are from designing a logo over build up a website to configuring VLANs on a cisco router. The best part is, that Peter gives us the time we need. In the afternoon Mark showed us how to disassemble Laptops and change the displays.

All in all a nice day again.

We have a new challenge

hi,

We have a second company in the office and we help us each other. The second company is a fashion agency. Karen gave us the challenge to build up a new website for the company. The new website should only inform the customers about the brands, events and the agency. Also the website doesn’t become an online shop. First we have to create a very good layout for the website and also a good structure is important. We must note the design for the logo of the agency (Corporate Identity). We had to implement a password protected area where we had to implement a blog. We will build up the website of the topics are important for the seo.

I find this is a interesting challenge.

what else to tell

hey there, long time no see
i noticed i couldnt just keep you up to date with work related stuff and get my three posts a week so im going to write something else. Okay, i could just write down every single task im doing but that wouldnt be a fine read at all.

so… hmm… lets see… what is new
we where shopping yesterday and bought a lot of meat 🙂 but mostly chicken.

The traffic lights are a thing for themselves. The red traffic lights for pedestrians are permenant it seems. So nobody cares at all. Look left, then right, then just walk. Otherwise i could easly spend five minutes just crossing the street.

ah whats interesting too is: you can spend LOADS of money just ordering food. I wanted to order a pizza – guess what 22€ for a normal pizza. All right, i passed on that one.

so, see you tomorrow
