The work at IMEC

A dizzy day in Dublin today and I was not able to see any ship this morning and evening.

But therefor I repaired and flashed a lot devices. I replaced displays, bluetooth-adapter and flashed some of the devices I repaired the last days. I also flashed Cisco Wireless Access Points. Of cause I tested all units. All working fine, what else? Vincent also told me that I should work there because Jason an myself are a great team. After I was done with all my stuff Jason gave me a huge device to repair. I don’t know how many kilo it has but I guess around 15kg. He told me to replace the display. It wasn’t that easy but I managed to repair it in less than 45 minutes. And it works!

I’ll post a picture on weekend of that monster.

Nearly done

The project I described earlier, is nearly done. After installing ESXi, I set up 7 virtual machines. Two Windows Vista clients, one Windows 7 client, three Windows Server 2003R2 servers and one Windows Server 2008R2 server. I build a small domain, consisting of one domain controller, a small Windows Server 2003R2 cluster (two nodes), three clients for testing purpose and one 2008R2 server which shall run SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007R2. Unfortunately I had to interrupt my work, due to a missing DVD.

I heard, that I was scheduled to participate in a big project, which is very actual at Steria. My tasks would have been configuring many servers, configuring SAN controllers, configuring RAIDs and LUNs but unfortunately the customer now wants to use HP hardware instead of IBM hardware, so the project can not start yet and I hope, that it starts within my stay here at all.

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

As René already wrote, he, Oliver, Tobias and me decided to rent a car to see the north coast of Northern Ireland.

Our first real stop (after a short stop at a little harbor to smell some fresh sea air and take some photos) was at the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. BTW: The bridge is on facebook! 😉

Because we were literally overwhelmed by the landscape and the view, we decided to take a little rest and enjoy sitting on top of the cliffs and let the softly blowing breeze stroke our heads.
