Getting the third week started

Thanks to the bank holiday, this week starts today, Tuesday. I’m still overwhelmed by all the impressions I got this weekend. I just can highly recommend to visit Tobi’s blog and read his post about our weekend. He describes our coast trip, which I described earlier, with much blood, sweat and tears and I think it’s worth reading it. I’m still working on building a Windows environment with an ESXi Hypervisor, which was delayed due to Installation problems. The versions 3.5 and 4.1 did not cooperate with the hardware I have to use, so I was told to install Citrix XenServer. I spend a lot of time working with ESXi Hypervisor in Berlin so I’m very familiar with this product and its advantages. I missed many of them when I tried to set up VMs with XenServer. So I decided to spend more time on getting ESXi installed and I succeeded! Version 5.1 seems to be compatible and finally I  can handle the basic work.

Weekend

Last weekend I decided to go to the beach. Yeah that’s a lie – it’s only a coast. My roommate Benny and myself got up at first (about 11 o’clock) and went to Botanic Train Station and drove to Jordanstown in the near of my workplace at Newtownabbey.

These Saturday the weather was quite good because as it was not raining. But the temperature are only about 10 degrees and it’s windy, too. This does not compare to the very sunny Berlin.  But we have enjoyed the rays of sun which comes out briefly.

In the near of the coast is also a campsite. There I found some funny basic information for the car park. The translator was not the best.
