celebrating birth day with our spanish neighbours

Yesterday one of our spanish neighbours was celebrating is 30th birtday and we all gathered in his apartment to have a nice cup of hot tea combined with tradiontal spanish food which was made really well made and was delicious. After having long lasting discussion about the culuture differences and the ongoing developemnt in our home countries we went to a local pub which also a kind of gambling center. We had an awesome time everyone was really friendly and we definitley made some new friends here. Today I took the cab to the International Airport of Belfast setting up my contract with the car rental which in the end was refused due my lack of a Visa card. Still I wasn’t going to give up and I made a new appointment for tommorow, this time equipped with a Visa card. Our plan is to follow up the coast and see all the nice places we already heared about. Finally we are going to wittness the true nature of the green country.

Lync Server 2013 Setup

Last week I had the task to setup a Lync server on our Hyper-V cluster. Its a bit hard do work on everything without administrator passwords because I need Amit to login everything. But besides this the installation had some problems because some services don`t start and the installer can`t install features itself. I got quite far. But before we can start the installation of the service itself we have to install certificates. Oddly there was a warning if we install one of the certificates that it could create errors on out exchange and sharepoint. So we have to clear that issue with the head system engineer.

Site surveys and In-building wireless

On Thursday a co-worker and I went to Micro Focus to do a site survey to see if its possible to put in our lights without any problems and to see what we have to buy to make it possible.
After that I took a look at our pilot project in the Derry City Council to see if we still have any motion detection at times where no one is in.

On Friday I prepared a bit for the CCNA NetRiders next Wednesday. In the Afternoon I did a bit of research for In-building Wireless for a project that we’re working on.

the week in total

Hello everyone,

now we finished the short week of work because monday was a bank holiday and most of us had free time.
This week was exhausting for me but it still makes fun since the workmates are very nice.
At Wednesday I started to backup a fileserver to for backing up 400 GB. Until now only 180GB are transfered because the data is transfered over a WAN connecting. The system needs to be shut down so the data needs to be backupped.I started to write a short documentation about my project so my colleagues know what data is outsourced.

And like every friday there are a typical breakfast in the cantine which consits of beans soda, bread potato bread and sausages, it tastes really good and it is very cheap.
