weekend report

hey all,

so that was a relaxing weekend!

On Friday the guys and I were in the pub again where we had a relaxing evening.

After I slept long on Saturday I worked a little bit on my new Linux machine! In the evening we played some rounds CS 1.5 and then we just hung around with some other guys from our house.

On Sunday I made some Linux stuff because I installed a Debian for me with the awesome windows manager that I used to show graphical windows and my shells! So I skript a little bit and edited some Config file´s.

Thats all from weekend! 

work week | week of work

Hey every body,

So first I’m nearly healthy again and the weekend can come! 😀 not like  last weekend!

The most time in this working week we have cleaned up the „trash corner“! There were many old PCs and old hardware!

So we were testing hardware like old pc’s, power supplie’s, Peripherals devises and so on.

After that we have put new workdesks in that corner!

Furthermore we get a lot of new laptops for the employees and on these laptops we had to installed windows 8 and lots of software we need in the company.

In this way we got new hardware for a desctop pc that I assembled. And NO!!! I did not choose this hardware because ther is a big ASUS mainboard inside for more than 270 Euro and I think a I7-3820 for 250 Euro and believe me they don’t need that! And the best is that the person who orders things forgot to order a CPU cooler! So I hope that the cooler is coming today (Friday) so I can finish the PC and can start to setup the RAID and the OS on this PC!

While I wait for the cooler I have begun to check if Zabbix can send mail notification over a office 365 server. I have not done much more this week with zabbix!

That was all about this „Working week“!

weekend retrospective

Hey,

as you can imagine my weekend was boring because I was ill and had to stay in the apartment.

It all started last week when I got a sore throat and then I got a cough!

Therefore I can not write that much today because I’ve done nothing but sleeping, watching movies and eating!

I can tell you that we have made boulettes with a cheese filling. That was awesome!

Sorry for that short post but I didn’t do more this weekend!

I will write more about this week in the following days!

 

hey ho

Hey guys,

since start of this week Zabbix 2.0.6 is running the newest version. This has solved my old problems but also brought new.

However until I reinstalled and reconfigured the Zabbix server it took a lot of time and nerves but someone has to do that.

Further I installed a Mail server on the Zabbix server a Postfix and a dovecot mail server. I want t0 use Posrfix at a SNMP server and dovecot as an POP3 server. I do this because I want to send notification mails when Zabbix discover s a problem. The Zabbix can’t work with Exchange server which is already in the network here,because you can’t configure mail settings like an auto identification and so on!

So I work with the dame long config files of the mail servers and try to find the right place and commandos.

At the moment I have a big fight with a cold so I must take things easier, drink a lot of hot tee and eat a lot of sore throat sweets. On Thursday I was sent back home then because my colleagues said I didn’t look  good. So I was at home on Friday. That’s sucks a little bit because until now I had to stay in the apartment. But still right now I don’t feel really better. This is also the reason why this blog entry comes that late.

Even a retrospective on the last weekend!(3-5.5)

So we did the same like last weekend Party (this time in another house) and there were people from the UK, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark and Hong Kong! And  on the other days we had a LAN Party and did the things you just do on weekends.

see you!

 

Bank Holiday

Hey 🙂

this is a blog about Monday our free day.

On Monday I didn’t sleep that long, just until 11 o‘ clock :P. I couldn’t sleep that long because I had plans. We wanted to go up to the Cavehill and wanted to check out Belfast’s castle.

So at 12 o’clock Daniel, Clemens, Sean and I started walking in the direction of the mountains. The way up to the mountain is almost 10km long.

First we took a look at the castle. It is a small castle with a restaurant or something like that but we didn’t go inside. Outside was a little garden with nice flowers.

After a little break in the garden we started to go up. It took us about 45 min to go up because the hill is just 400 m high but it is a nice promotion and you get a very nice view over Belfast. See for yourself.

When we were up we had a large break and enjoyed the prospect.

So here are some pictures. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Incidentally, we had to walk the whole way back. We were back by 18 o’clock. My feet hurt and I needed a shower. 😀

Unfortunately I did not get the blog entry finished by Monday because I had an headaches in  the evening!

And on Sunday we had problems with the internet but now it works with the LAN cable! Tomorrow someone will be coming by to check the bad network here.

        

Work

Hey guys

On Monday we had one of the wonderful Irish days. When I stood at the bus stop the sun was shining while I had to protect myself from the hail. That’s Ireland!

At work there were problems with Zabbix! Now I have found out that the version I used had a problem with a PHP file. An error in the file should be converted to a string and that didn’t work. Then I found out that in a new version the problem isn’t existing. But when I wanted to update it, the data base and a PHP file did not survive the update process. So I had some more errorsL. And it isn’t so easy to uninstall Zabbix because it’s not a normal packet that you can easily uninstall with one command. You have to remove a lot of directories and by that the operating system was broken. So I set up a new Debian VM and tomorrow I will have to test the new version.

On Wednesday Mrs Neumann and Mr Bavar visited me and we had a very nice conversation about my project.

Weekend!

Well we didn´t go out on Friday. Why I don’t know, I forgot the reason, I think we just hang around.

On Saturday I slept long. After sleeping, getting awake and eating breakfast we began to setup our pc to do a little LAN Party. In the evening we began to play the first Game openarena.

At 22 o’clock the party started in our house! Downstairs the French people had a Party and upstairs the Spanish people the other party! So there was much travel in this house and there also were people from the University, so I met a German guy who told us what we can do here, respectively what we absolutely have to do. So we had a typical home party with typical drunk people, on the whole it made quite a lot of fun!

Sunday was our food-buying-day. That’s the good thing in Belfast, you can buy food every day. So that the primary care for the week is guaranteed.

In evening we started the LAN Party and a couple of other guys who also are on oszimt were still around and we played together. We played games such as openarena C&C3 and Wolfensteil. But we had some problems because the games are already very old and needed things like IPX. Anyway we had a lot of fun.

See you soon!

Yeah, it’s friday!

And again a week comes to an end.

There wasn’t anything new at work, just the same as the last days.

Today we had interesting weather:

In the morning we had a wonderful blue sky and no clouds. Then I thought, “wow what a wonderful day!”. When I looked out of the window one our later it rained and the sky was grey again. Half an hour later the sun was shining again. The whole day the weather changed in that way.

Our street has some similarities to a ghetto. The house next to ours‘ is abandoned. There some kids make fire and riot. So we often have the police in our street. On wednesday the fire brigade was in there as well, with two cars.

At the moment a crocodile sits next to me.

I think we want to go out in some minutes.

 

Here you can see some pictures from the sea.

Another day!

And the beautiful weather from Monday is over, at least it was yesterday and today. But my handy app says that the sun will shine again, even if it will only be 9 degrees. Today was a grey day and in the morning we had typical drizzle.

In the following day, there seem to be some events in Belfast. I think there is a marathon and the 400 years Belfast celebration! Probably they installed a lot of Mobil cameras for that occasion in Belfast.

Yesterday and today I have been working a lot on my Zabbix documentation and have fought with the items in Zabbix. I’ve got the feeling as if they do not like me. Furthermore I helped the guys one time more with some Mobil phone inventory.

This evening I requested my extended dates on Facebook and two hours later I got a mail with a download link over 76kb. I checked it out end saw that they lost so many thinks that I now requested all data over an E-Mail! I´m interested in what I get then but I think it will take a while!

I hope you have a great time back home.

You’ll hear from me again in two days. 🙂
