Sunny Work

As the other AFIB guys already wrote the weather here in Belfast is very good. This is untypical because we have about 20 °C and it feels like over 25 °C. The sun burns so hot that I have a sunburn – no joke. I’m very often outside to install the outdoor WLAN. But now I bought a sunblocker and hope that the red skin will change into suntanned skin 🙂 I never thought that would be so nice here in the rainy Belfast.
At work Jannik and myself tested the Intelesens Aingeal device which can monitor the vital signs. So I’m not afraid to test the device by myself. At first the website to access the data from the monitoring device doesn’t worked and we must waited until Friday. But then we established a connection between the WLAN access point and the Aingeal device. This worked not realy fine because the connection was interrupted at many times. But we had monitored some of my vital signs. I’m not a doctor but you can see a difference between the idle ECG and the burden. At this point I’ve done some press-ups.

Active Directory Upgrade

This week I was introduced to another project at Translink: Plans are to upgrade the Active Directory infrastructure from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. The project is realized in cooperation with the IT service provider Northgate.

One principal reason for running this project is that another project depends on this Active Directory upgrade: the migration from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.

A project assistant from Northgate came to the office to talk with my colleagues and me about the hardware (physical and virtual) and software requirements as well as the necessary network (re)structuring.
