One of the last posts…

Hi folks, it’s me again.

 

This week was a pretty quiet week like the last few, so this will be a short blog post.

 

At work we are trying to set up a socket server, which could be difficult without any possibility to use a Command Line Interface on the current webserver. So we have to take a look at other possibilities.

We are also making a lot of debugging and testing with the micro controller we are using in the parking machine.

 

As for it is Friday, I am going out to have some drinks and I’m curious at what time I will be at home.

There will also be the Champions League Final tomorrow and at some Pubs there are already Flags of Dortmund and Munich outside on the walls.

We try to watch the match and have some fun.

 

That’s all for now. I think you can expect the next blog post in a couple of days.

 

See you soon.

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! 

Meeting with my boss

Wendsday was a normal day. At work I programmed my web service again and fixed some programming issues.
After work Stefan and I went  to the “bookworm” to send our packets and then we went shopping to Lidl. At home Stefan cooked for
us. Yes I didn’t cook because this evening we had burgers and Stefan serves brilliant burgers
After a good dinner we watched the football game, it was very good 😀

Thursday I published my cloud/web service. At the beginning we had some problems, but after I solved these it worked.
After lunch I met Mr. Bavar and Mrs. Neumann, we talked with my mentor about my project etc .
Shortly after the visit from Mr. Bavar and Mrs. Neumann I programmed again. I changed my program , so that I get an email with the information,
which I will put in a database.
After a nice workday Stefan and I went to the pub at the Arlington hotel,where Mr. Bavar stayed. He spend tried us to a Guinness and we talked about something.
It was nice that we could talk so casually and not is official as I expected.

A walk, a Pub and Nachos…

Hi folks, it’s me again.

 

Today Steve and I went out into a pub to have a beer and something to eat.
Steve ordered “Bangers & Mash” and I ordered some “Chilli Beef Nachos”.
It was awesome. I never ate such good Nachos.

 

Before...
... and after.

 

At work, we are trying to implement Drupal (a Content Management System) into our workflow. This should save us some time because we don’t need to create so much from scratch.

 

Our plans for the weekend are still the same. We still want to visit the Temple Bar District.

 

That’s all folks. I think I’ll pass my next entry at the weekend so that I have more time to see and experience something.

 

See you soon.

The end of a good week

So the first week is over. It was very interessting how fast the
time passed by.I have longer workinghours as my colleagues. Stefan and
I work from 9a.m. to 6p.m. But I like my work. Friday I got
my first little project. I work on many databases and built a report.
The report show diffrent information about the databases.
It’s based on xml. The next time I will learn how to connect the diffrent
databases for the perfect query.
Yesterday we were by Nick and Lars. They have a nice big livingroom.
At 3.am. we were driving home by taxi. I think it isn’t too
expensiv.

Today we were in the city and visit a tradional pub with live music.
It was called the old storehouse…I like this music and the feeling is so
amazing.

Of frozen pizza and orange juice or the search for Lidl

It is now the third day in Belfast and I have, more or less, settled in. The main goal of the last two days was to secure our (our ,that is my flatmates and me) main supply of food, water and other things to secure our survival in this foreign country.
For this we went on the quest to find the holy halls of Lidl, where treasure of affordable prices where promised by our predecessors. And after Minutes of consulting the holy institution  of Google Maps© we found a Lidl and went on a journey which would make Bilbo Baggins proud.
After a hellish 2,6 miles of road and evading cars, because we where looking in the wrong direction (left-hand driving is so wrong on so many levels ;)) , we arrived at our destination with a yellow sun of Lidl rising before us.
We ventured into the holy halls of Lidl and returned with precious treasure containing water, frozen pizza (the best friend of every humble man), bread, cereals (the breakfast of true man) and other small items of importance, like shaving cream.
Our return trip took longer than expected, mainly because we did not account for the additional weight of our loot, and the 2,6 miles back felt more like 5 miles.
But at the end of the day our small Party was victorious and was rewarded with warm pizza, a cold cola and a good conversation over a shared meal.
I hope you enjoyed my creative writing style, because the truth is not much has happened until now.
I arrived in Belfast, had a little look around the neighborhood and went shopping the next day for food and supplies. In the evening we went to the local pub and had a Guinness, which tastes way better here than in Germany by the way.
Today we had meeting at RMS Tenon for a small introduction and going over some details for my/our stay in Belfast, after that we had a small walk around the city center and bought ourselves some simcards.
Tomorrow I will be introduced to my workplace, I am very excited because I still do not know what to expect.

Read you soon

Yours sincerely

Tobias

My first two days in Ireland

Yesterday we arrived in dublin. I think it is a very beautiful little city. At first we explored our penthouse appartment. It’s a nice composition of luxus and standart.

our humble room

Furthermore it’s in the centre of Dublin. Shortly after moving into the rooms we went down the city and looked for a super-market. The prices here are much higher than in Germany. In the afternoon we visited a nice typical irish pub (o’sheas). It was a very nice place and the food as well as the guinnes were very delicious. After our meals we went in a little club.The people in dublin are very diffrent, but i like this.
Today, after the morning sport, we went in the city center and organized a bus-ticket and a phone card. The bus-ticket was very expensive
but the phone card is much cheaper than in Germany. And now i have cook our dinner and we to die away the day.

see you later
