Jonas Ehrhardt – ready for holiday

Hi folks,

today is my last day of work this week. Due to upcoming Easter we will get Friday and Monday free. If I understood correct Monday is an official holiday and Friday is an unofficial holiday but almost every company is closed. Additional we will get an extra day off to make some longer trips or just relax(but the weather is still good so only fools will stay at home).

Jonas – second week survived

Hi there people,

as you can read in the headline we survived the second week. Friday after work we went to a pub with all Berlin-Dublin-people.  I drank my first one-tenth Guinness and I decided to drink tea(hi Paul :D). I went home with Denny pretty early because he was feeling bad and I was really tired from work(I think I am the first one leaving in the morning and one of the last ones returning).

Saturday we did nothing – really nothing. We slept until 1pm ate things, played games and just relaxed. The only useful thing I did was buying the tickets for the musical I gave Florian as a present(we will sit in the third row in the center).

Sunday we stay in bed very late too, but then we dicided to go to town to visit the Guinness Storehouse. It was very informative. We learned that Guinness emblem was the reason for a reversed harp in the Irish Symbol(e.g. on coins). Coincidentally there was a student choir there when we visited and they sang some amazing a capella songs. The best one was the Lumberjack song >here the original <.

Now we will go to bed so we won’t be late tomorrow.

See you all Jonas

Daniel Hoffmann: 17.04.2011 Mc Sunday

Hey dudes,

its sunday and thats the last entry for this week.

Well, nothing changed and everthing is still awesome. My work is still fun and my colleagues at BMS are still funny ^^

BMS loves the way we germans work *laughs* and i’m really happy to get this company for my work experience.

We played some pool yesterday and we´ll go again today 🙂

A colleague of FSZ95 and me went to dundrum town centre again today to buy some stuff and it is fuckin‘ amazing. Well, really good weather + a lot of women …. perfect, isn´t it ?:)

Well, the clock is ticking and we get only 41 days left …. 🙁

Stay tuned 🙂

short before weekend

Hi,

Today we met the other colleagues from the company.

Helen is responsible for us and told us a little bit more about the company.

We haven’t only the task to work on our projects. We had to introduce our colleagues about the improvements from the website and the same is valid for every other task.

The colleagues have to understand how important is seo (search engine optimization) for a website of a company and how they can improve the seo by your own.

Finally we had to prepare the rooms for the selling tomorrow.

And now I go out and enjoy the nightlife of Dublin.

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

the week after the weekend

yeah, you couldn’t read much from me lately.
I still work at the same place. The task i’m busy with at the moment is the SEO of the homepage. SEO means search enginge optimization and is to get the page on the first page of google. We have a meeting once a day, where all of us sit together and dicuss how we can populate our page and get more traffic on it without spending a cent (besides the cost for the internet access 😉 ). No cost is also the policy for the workers here. I have 5 co-workers here which are all unpaid students. Three from spain who can hardly speak any english. It’s sometimes hard to understand them, a chinese who speaks english very well and then there is Virginia from the other FSZ class. All tasks here are those of a webdeveloper. Not exactly the type of work i hoped for, but it’s interisting too.

the private part is kept a secret on purpose. I’m not the guy who needs or wants to tell the world what I am doing the whole day. And because this blog is found in google i keep that part for me

best regards and have a nice friday

Jonas – Some birthdays again-.-

Hi there everybody,

time for me to write something once again. This week is almost at its end so I will give you a short summary of what I have done so far. After the issue with the printer(read earlier entry) I began to watch some tutorials for image editing programs. Once again I discovered a field where I never want to work in(I like designs like on  Mateuszs website :D). But for the time being I will endure it and try to learn as much as possible. Yesterday I designed a little birthday gift card for my best friend and roommate Florian(but more on that later). Because I used the programs I am learning right now(Paint.net and Adobe InDesign CS5) it was killing two birds with one stone. Today I was so tired that I missed my stop and drove all the way to the airport and back to my company(40mins late-.-). However I am motivated to survive this day and enjoy the sun which came out right now.

A normal work day

Hi everybody,

First we had a meeting with Karen and we discussed the ideas to improve the website. The content of the discussion was to find out which ideas are possible and which are impossible to implement on the website.

The Doo-Lally website has same problems with the speed. The backend is the reason why the website is load so slowly. Also we had to find out how we can speed up WordPress.

I asked Karen why the company is call doolally. You have to know doolally is similar to go crazy. The team went doolally to find a name for the company. That is the reason for the name of the company.

Jonas Ehrhardt – many little tasks

Hi there,

while working in my company I got a few tasks to do. Besides maintaining the website I shall costumise flyers, design a rollup for a new line of products and now create two leaflets – one with a registration form for a competition and one with the competition rules. I shall print about 250 leaflets, but the printer makes problems every time I print more than tenat once. However printing ten every ten minutes is no problem due to it is not too urgent.

That is it for now – I still have a fight with the local printer >:D

Cheers Jonas
