A quiet week… :D ( no pun intended)

Hi guy’s

 

how are you?

 

Everything is fine here in Dublin. The weather is not like a typical May in Germany, but it’s ok.
Monday was a normal work day. I fixed some program issues in my web API and I showed Richard my progress.
He and I were happy that the web API is running. After some emails he gave me a new task. I should change the UTC time, which was set as a Unix timestamp, into the regular time.
At home I didn’t do much. I was shopping at Lidl and cooked. Also I cleaned the bathroom.

 

Yesterday I changed the timestamp and showed Richard the result. Also we talked about the next step. I thought that I can now save the data into the database, but he would like me to do other things. So I now have a new task. I should put things into order and so on. I can say, that I programmed here in Dublin the whole time.

At home I cooked and relaxed the evening.

 

See you later

#16 – Cliffs of Moher

Hihi there,

As you already may know I have been to the famous cliffs of Moher on Saturday. The trip there was quite exhausting as we all had way too less sleep and I was also not able to sleep to well in the bus. Our tour guide was talking a bit strangely as he repeated himself over and over again when he spoke about a certain topic.

Other than that the company that offered the tour was well prepared and had a decent amount of stops on our way to the cliffs and home.

The Cliffs themselves were very impressive and beautiful. We had a hell of a strong wind there. At one point I had to hold onto a fence to make sure I would not be blown away.

We stopped at a pub for lunch which was quite expensive. They are utmost reliant on the tourist tours as they won’t have any other customers whatsoever, which is a strange concept from my point of view.

On our way home we stopped at quite beautiful landscapes (a lot of bright grey rocks just scattered in the fields) just at the cliffs.

I will not provide any pictures here as Erik did that already and it would be a waste of disk space to add them again. He picked the ones I would have picked.

That’s it already from me for now, next blog will cover for the Celtic tour we did on Sunday. Until then!

Start into Week #6

Hello Everyone,

it’s the start into the sixth week and only two and a half weeks are left, to be honest I’m looking forward to be back in Germany especially to sleep alone in my own room and in my own bed.

Well on Monday I started testing Hardware that was lying  around the office with the new benchtable and as it turned out most of the hardware was broken.

On Tuesday I started working on the new thin clients we got for testing purposes and I had to install the newest firmware which was a pain in the ass, because it is not possible to install the newest firmware over USB. No that would have too easy you have to do it over a special Webshare or FTP. After trying it over a web share we set up a makeshift FPT server and hey that worked, but you couldn’t just install the newest firmware, no you had to install the firmware in the order it was released, e.g. if the newest firmware is 1.3.3 and the installed firmware is 1.1.4 you have install all version between these two in the order they where released before installing the newest.

But as it was Tuesday, which meant it was crazy Tuesday at the cinemas, I went to watch the new Star Trek movie together with Robert. And the movie was good and I can say with confidence that if J.J Abrahams does as well with Star Wars as he does with Star Trek there will be awesome movies ahead 😀

That’s it for now.

Yours sincerely,

Tobias
