I went to Mark & Spencer’s to buy my lunch. In the supermarket I was thinking of buying some more stuff for the evening so I keept my eyes open. Suddenly an old lady stopped me and asked for help. She told me that she got a message on her mobile phone from someone and don’t know how to open it. She was kind of excited because she thought that someone from her family wrote her. When I opened the message I noticed that it is just junkmail from O2 so I told her to delete them. When she saw that there were more messages she asked me if these aren’t from her family. I opened the next one and again junkmail. So I asked her if it’s a new mobile phone and she told me that she just bought it. Afterwards I explained her that it is normal for new phones. In the end she was really happy that someone helped her.

Outdoor WLAN #Update
As I told in my last post, Jannik, Damien and myself installed the outdoor WLAN. At the end of last week we get the right cable for the outdoor antenna. So we connected the access point with the fondly called fluoroscent lamp. But nothing happend. Even if we stood near to the antenna, the signal was very weak and if we went away from the antenna the signal was lost. Overall a depressing test, because the signal with the 1.5 metre antenna is lower as the ten times smaller indoor antenna. So Jannik and me began to troubleshoot the problem: cross tests, resets, configure, gathering solutions… Until now we’re not really sure what the problem is. I think the antenna and the access point are faulty. Maybe we would have spent more money to the devices. This are the cheapest devices that we had found, because Damien wanted it so. Now he will contact the distributor and maybe we get a new device. Let’s see what’s next.
Nerdy evenings
Last weekend, Oli, Tim, Tobias and I decided to watch a 13 year old film..Matrix. After all this years, this film is still just amazing. I’ve already seen it many years ago but I forgot many things so it was a good thing, watching this film again. I think I annoyed the others because I could not wait and asked them 20 questions during the first 5 minutes. But they told me that all my questions would be answered by the film and they were right. Yesterday we watched the second film, Matrix Reloaded and today we will watch the last one, Matrix Revolutions. So we experienced a decade of Sci-Fi history in a few days.
Still doing the same
Unfortunately I’m still spending time on configuring Windows System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM). This piece of software just seems to be so slow! It feels like it takes ages for the software to recognize any changes I configure. The second problem is that Matt has just little time to help me, because there are just so many other things he has to do. So I also spend a lot of time on waiting. The next step will be to configure this SCCM environment in the NIPACS domain.
There is a song, its title sounds in this situation so frustrating and true at once..Maybe Tomorrow..
