Let us have a nice long weekend…!

Hey guys,
our last two weeks have been started and we have just two weekends for some nice adventures. Well, my week was pretty nice where I met a new guy at Volunteer Now. He come from Spain and is working as developer, too. He work with me and Kevin together on the same projects and hope, it will be a nice end of our internship. But I still working on the same project and develope the Visual Webparts for our Sharepoint Server and it will be never boring with this team where it’s sometimes funny with those irish people… ^^ This long weekend, I will go with Kevin to the cinema to watch the new film „MiB3“, but at first we go to some other sights or events. Well, I think it will be very funny and it’s nice to see same other sights outside of belfast. Let us what will be happened on this long weekend… 🙂

New Week @ VolunteerNow

Hi everybody,
one of our last weeks at Belfast are been started, but it was not so much happened in the first days of this week. Well, we just went back to our old stuff of project and it’s only some new tasks for my Sharepoint project. My new tast is to design the new layout of the Sharepoint website with new webparts. This will be happened by Visual Webparts in Visual Studio 2010, so it will be programmed in C# and the .NET Framework 3.5, but I am looking very interesting forward to the next week, because we will get a new member for our team, it’s a apprentice, too. He coming from Spain and he has the same certificate like us, he succeded the CCNA certification, too. Therefore, I think that’s will be very interesting and I will get a nice chance to contact a new guy. However, I am hopefully looking forward to a successfull ending of our practical training.

Yours faithfully,
Rico Meehs

A funny week is gone… A more funnier weekend is coming…

Hey guys, a very funny and interesting working week is gone… I have got a lot of more experience in developing with Kevin & Co., so I was inspired by Kevin R. and the projects what I have at Volunteer Now to do an own developing project in my community and I have asked Kevin to join this project, too. Well, I think it was a really nice idea, because I can get the chance to do developing on both sides with Kevin. It’s just to develop a frontend as website for administrate a file server which run on a linux server and use a MySQL-DB-Backend as accountingbase. It will be programmed in VBA.NET and telerik on a Apache-Server with the Mono-Mod. Maybe, it will be a really nice experience to work with Kevin on a OpenSource project. My project works very fine at my workplace, it’s just some fine tunings and some customizes of the Microsoft Dynamics Website which will be simple programmed with JavaScript and VBA.NET. Well, I have mentioned that asked Kevin to do something together on this weekend, it’s done and I have enjoyed it to fullest, but I will tell you more on the next blog entry. And now, please enjoy!

Friday and Saturday…

Hey guys,
it was so amazing the last week, but every will ending on every sunday midnight. On friday, i have begun to build some alternative designs with CSS & Co. for our Sharepoint at my work and i have included some new extensions to the new Wikisystem for all guides and howto’s. Now the weekend have begun and some festivals started up at friday, but i didn’t want to go to those festivals. I love the quietness to do something like projects in my community. On the next weekend, we have booked a tour to the sight „gaints causeway“, i think, it will be a nice tour. A few hours ago, i have reactivated my facebook account to promote a little more for community and my projects in this community. But sometimes, i think, i will publish some nice pictures of belfast and so on. Well have a nice weekend @all….

The last days of this week…

It’s just few days ago, were i prepared my virtual machine on a HyperV-Server and wiki system for my developing of a new sharepoint website, now i worked with my own designed theme for this website and did some fine tuning of the stylesheets. On wednesday mornings, i and my supervisor visited the headquarter of Volunteer Now in the center of Belfast and i took some pictures of the office and some ones of the server room, where we did some support services. Well, you will see that this isn’t as structured as a profit oriented company, but it’s very amazing to see how this kind of non-profit organisation growth so large and has so many powerful infrastructure. Well, here are some pictures of this headquarter…

My first experience at work…

Hi,

it’s me… My first day at the no non-profit organisation „Volunteer Now“ was really interesting, because i am involved in two projects over the two months. One of them is the migration of Sharepoint server to a newer one with a new version of Sharepoint. The new design of this page will be created by me and the other project is a migration, too, but this will be the new version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Well, my workplacement is very nice and my colleagues are so friendly, the atmosphere is very friendly. I have so much freedom at my workplace, i like this, that’s what i need to develop.

Here are some pictures of my workplacement and belfast, too.
