Since I can not write much about a single workday, I wanted to write a short summary about this work week. Unlike in Berlin I walk almost all the time and very rarely do I use the bus. I’ve gotten used to the many walking. „Little work report“ weiterlesen

Home gym workout
Day 40&41 10.05-11.05.2018 Thursday&Friday
On Thursday my department manager took a day off because he already worked too much overtime during the last weeks. I think it is very convenient to have flexible
working hours in the IT when you have family. Today I asked the 2nd Line Support
Engineer how to map network drives per script and also about how to restrict usb ports to the users. Then I made some inquiries about how to create a link aggregation in visio. This knowledge could come in handy in case I’ll have to design a network. During the rest of the time I gathered information for my future CCNP route exam.
After my work I’ve met Niall for a workout session at his home studio. Therefore I had to walk to the Belfast Great Victoria Street Railway Station. It took me around 40 minutes to get there. I had to hurry to catch the train or otherwise we would have to take another which would need one hour to get to Moira. The express train only needed 25 minutes. „Home gym workout“ weiterlesen
Giang and I are doughnut friends forever!
At Thursday the 10th of May in 2018, on this day I went in my lunch break to “Tesco Metro” to buy Doughnut Rings. Later, as I arrived my accommodation I asked if Giang would like to be my donut friend forever and she said yes to me. I was so happy about her answer. 😀
Aua!
At Tuesday the 8th of May in 2018, I was really happy on this day, because I was waiting for my package from my mother. But I had no idea that the courier would come so late. He had a delay. On this day I started my documentation for my work. I never thought that will be so hard to explain something in English. But I gave my best. I had to write about my work in “WordPress” which plugins and widget I used.

„Did you make a copy of the config?“ – „Well, of course … not!“
That’s how it all started.
Future Firewall upgrade | Visio Stencils | EIRP AP
Day 38&39 08.05-09.05.2018 Tuesday&Wednesday
On Tuesday my department manager and I took care of the regular weekly duties. For the inventory, we needed to count the software licenses which we have deployed in our surroundings. Someone complained about the wireless LAN so we’ve also checked the access points on one site and discovered that the AP reduces their EiRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) because there was a conflict with another AP. This unit tells the amount of power needed to achieve a certain power density at a specific distance from the source. To solve this problem we had to reboot the AP. Due to this, the device will automatically set its EIRP to the highest lvl so the user could receive a stronger wifi signal.
Afterwards, I started to upgrade some new Firewalls to exchange some failed/ soon going to fail devices. „Future Firewall upgrade | Visio Stencils | EIRP AP“ weiterlesen
First time at the Ulster Museum
Last friday I was at the Ulster Museum for the first time with my colleague to fix some screens at the new „The Troubles“ gallery. The gallery is about the Northern Ireland Conflict which ended in 1998. They show letters from people who lost relatives and many news articles about incidents like the Bloody Sunday, i highly recommend it for anyone who is a little interested in history. Later that evening we went to a pub to have a few last drinks with some austrians which we met a few weeks ago, theyr stay ended on saturday. On saturday we had great weather so I went to the Ormeau Park with some flatmates. So far a great start in the weekend and we still have our Bank holiday on Monday.
St. George’s Market and Barbecue Party
At round 3am my Sunday started as I took my girlfriend to the airport.
After a very hard goodbye, I wanted to take the bus home. Unfortunately, the first bus drove not before 6.15am. Due to that, I had to take a taxi for 32£. After being back at my place, I was finally able to sleep for a few more hours.
mid time meeting
Last wednesday Mr. Bavar visited us in Belfast we met in a cafe at 5 pm. We spoke about our workplaces and if were satisfied with out stay, later we went to a mexican restaurant where I just out of curiosity ordered a burrito with very hot sauce which turned out to be a little to hot for me so my colleagues had a good laugh while i nearly cried. The next day we had the mid time meeting with intern europe where they just handed us some papers which we have to get signed. After the meeting i went to the gym with one of my housemates who showed me the sphinx after the gym. The Sphinx is a pretty famous kebab shop in belfast which i highly recommend.
BBQ and a free public day
At Sunday the 6th of May in 2018, on this day we planned a BBQ because we had so nice weather. But for the first we met Robert, Guliano and Tim at the „St. Georges Market“. After the market we went together to tim and then to „Tesco Superstore“ to buy our stuff for the BBQ. Giang, Phi, and Robert drove with the taxi back at home and the rest walked. After our dinner we played a lot games together. I believe we went at 3am into the bed.
