To much work

Hello everyone!

Normally Tim and I don’t have that much to do at work but this time and with this time I mean yesterday we had so much work to do it wasn’t funny anymore. We worked like ten hours through and that from the beginnig straight to the end. Also we had to change the builing like 4 times the day. From Lesley to Lanyon, from Lanyon to River house, from River House to Lanyon and from Lanyon to River House again and we had to walk everytime because the just fit 3 people in the car but we were actualy 4.

Just 9 days

Hello everyone!

It looks like it is going to an end and I just simply can’t believe that we just have 9 days to go and I am looking more and more foward to get home and to have a big party with all of my friends and my family, I am also looking foward to german food. The first thing I will do after I landed in germany is that I go to the Döner stand next to my flat and order a Döner for bloody 10 euros. Also I want some cheap Ice Tea because I just couldn’t find any in any store.

Second last week

Due to a quiet work week I haven’t got that much to write about it yet. Peter has much stuff to do so he’s often around the buildings but we can’t help in the most cases. We had to reassemble a room with PC’s because there were too less work areas for the employees and they needed 4 in addition to the current configuration, which was quite difficult because the room is small. We somehow managed it with some squeezing and tightening up all the equipment but if I’m honest, I wouldn’t want to work in there. On Monday a few of us went to Intern Europe for watching the football game, which was nice at all – especially because there were a lot of portuguese people around. After the match started and Germany scored the first 2 goals, the atmosphere was a bit heated up (I think because of the temper and the national honour) but they accepted the success of the German team at all. In my opinion it was nice from Intern Europe to invite us to watch the game with them, and If they send out another invitation I will attend there again for sure.

Redwood API and a night out on Thursday

This week I continued the task Lawrence gave me on Friday afternoon. He wanted me to see if its possible to trigger an unscheduled event from and external source. So I started to do my research and quickly discovered that indeed is a way to do that. So I started to write a little Perl script that does exactly that after a few minutes of research how to write a HTTP SET request in Perl I finished my little perl. But there was a little problem the answer from the Redwood Director was always accessFailure which mean I try to do a Set request on a portion of the Data Model that does not allow set requests which was strange since that part should allow Set Requests after a few minutes of looking through my code I realised what I did wrong I simply put in a wrong name that I tried to access. After getting rid of that I finished my script and tested it a few times and it works perfectly fine. I’ll show it to Lawrence on Friday since he is not in the Office tomorrow. We’re also doing a „night out“ tomorrow we’re going bowling and grab some food afterwards. Its basically to say goodbye in some way I know it’s still a week left but a few of my coworker aren’t there next week so we do it a bit earlier.
