On Friday there was again not much to do in Concentrix. Eric, Max and me had to do several little tasks and after they were done and the time has come Peter allowed us to go home. Yesterday we went to a Pub near the Queens University. There were many people on the streets, probably the Q-Con where Eric went to was also a factor – but when we got back home the density wasn’t that high anymore. In the pub (that claimed itself to be a World Cup bar – with big posters on the outer walls) were many local Irish people that are celebrating every goal, for Ghana and Germany. I think they weren’t really biased towards the game and they just were happy that the game was exciting at all. The atmosphere was relaxed. They had a big choice of beer, wine and softdrink brands and when the game was finished and after we had a few drinks we went back home again. I’ve liked the pub, except a few people which weren’t really interested in watching the game and disturbed the people who wanted to.

Hello everyone,

today Rene, Tim and I visited the bushmills company.
We traveled by train and bus and it takes over 2 hours for one trip but it worth, it was very interesting. We had a guide through the company and saw how they produce there whiskey, it was very exciting.
Bushmills exists now for over 400 years. In the year 1608 they made all with hands and now it is all automated. I recommend the trip for everyone.
I bought some presents for my family but it was very expensive but to me its worth it and my parents will be very lucky about that.

Hi there!

Of course we were this Tuesday in the cinema too. We watched 22 Jump Street and this time in a more or less big cinema hall. It was really funny, for me even funnier as A Million Ways to Die in the West. Actually the story was nothing new, because the series followed its old manners. And even the closing credits were charmingly self deprecating, they showed a dozen of possible continuations of the series with the complete same story and new villians. But that were definitively my last nachos there in the cinema, because the evening was mixture of heartburn, nausea and vomiting, but admittedly the basis was also not the best. 😀

Hi there!

As announced in my previous posts, I implemented the Gray Out effect this week. The first step for that was to display the number of sponsorships for each child somewhere and somehow on the page, so that we have a basis to work with. I used an input field for that, where I set the hidden attribute and thanks to C# I could use the „@item.Sponsorships.Count“ statement to set the value attribute of the input field to the number of sponsorships. So now that I had a hidden input field with the number of sponsorships above every delete button I could worry about the JavaScript part. I could figure out quickly how to get the value of the input fields with JavaScript and the actual Gray out effekt was also not a problem, but I wanted to display the Gray Out effekt onload and not with an onClick event or something, so I asked an befriended developer from Germany for help, who really had a cool working function for that up his sleeve. After that I read something about website optimization and tried that on my JavaScript to relax a bit.

Hello everyone,

now its only one week to go and in 7 days we are back in germany.
The time went very fast and i cant believe it that now are 7 weeks over.

Today we want to watch the soccer game Germany against Ghana and I hope that the germans wins again like the game Germany against Portugal with a 4:0.
That will be great but have a look if Germany can do it.

On work i finished it to backup a virtual maschine to a network folder and restore the virtual maschine frome the virtual harddisk and it works that you can copy the virtual maschine to another instance of Hyper Manager and the Virtual Maschine will be create automaticlly.

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.

Saturday evening Eric, Marco, Nick, Leo, Martin and me went to a pub around the corner to watch the football game (England vs. Italy) in a pub. The pub itself was quite nice and they equipped every wall with at least one tv. With adding all of them the number would be around 15 screens where the game was shown at. We expected the pub to be more full but there we’re only a few groups of people with us. They weren’t really happy that England lost but the atmosphere was okay at all. We played a bit of billiard and table soccer and after a few funny hours we went back to our apartments. The sunday was mostly eventless. Leo and me walked a bit through the botanic park which is really nice and always a place where alot and all kinds of people are around. Since there are only to more weeks to go and I want to visit the distillery of Bushmills at least once Martin and me decided to go there next weekend too. It requires a bit of travelling but I think it’s worth the effort.
