Visiting the data center

Today there was not as much going on as usual at my work. I had to keep working on the website for a customer. I installed new plugins and configured them for the website. Then I drove with Graham to a data center to expand the storage capacity of one of our server with new hard drives. Once there, we had to wait nearly twenty minutes before we got into the data center, because there were a few complications. „Visiting the data center“ weiterlesen

Routine

Day 34 04.05.2018 Friday

 

Like every Friday my department manager and I did some server clean up to free some space. We’ve been informed that one site didn’t display a wifi SSID so we had to create a new VSC Profile at the wireless controller. At this VSC Profile you had to define the display name (SSID) as well as the authentication it uses, etc. After a while we’ve received a message that one laptop couldn’t open an internal website. That’s why my department manager showed me some Network Policy Server (NPS) and  Radius server. He thought that it might be an authentication problem. „Routine“ weiterlesen

„Although the world is not perfect, it is yet the best that is possible.“

4th of May in 2018:

After an agreement, I will write about my past and my current accommodation because I wasn’t sure if it’s appropriate to show these picture here.

Neighbors cat visited us.

At Thursday the 3rd of May in 2018, I started my work at 9am and had to until 3.30pm because we had a meeting with „Intern Europe“. While I work I hear music and I found a song for what I search. Because since Belfast I was searching for a song and I heared this song everytime in my mind but I can´t remember on the title. And at the work I heared a song from the band and I remembered on the voice. And as I saw the band name I remembered on the song title.

„No one can deny the excitement of visiting another world.“

(quote from Bernard M Oliver.)

2nd of May in 2018:

Work is going well. But today I have to leave my job earlier because we got a visit from Mr Bavar, who is our Afib-coordinator and the instructor of ‚Freie Universität Berlin‘, for a small chat with a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate. „„No one can deny the excitement of visiting another world.““ weiterlesen

Afib half time meeting

Day 32&33 02.05-03.05.2018

Wednesday and Thursday were a little bit different because I was allowed to leave work earlier because of a meeting. On  Wednesday I had a meeting with my afib coordinator from our homecompany organisation [Charité, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Free University Berlin).

He wanted to make sure that we had no issues with our work experience, accommodation or the company. We drank some coffee and hot chocolate together and ate tacos and burritos at “boojum”.

At the company I had to create a network route to a new printer, create new firewall rules and reactivate an account because a user had an issue with logging in to our domain. Afterwards I had to draw a network rack again for upcoming plannings. „Afib half time meeting“ weiterlesen

Great start in the new week

The new week started great for me we got some new Switches at work so i had something to do the whole day and after work i could finally go to the gym again. On Tuesday a colleague took me to his home for some GTA 5 we had good fun for a few hours until he drove home where i spent the evening with a housemate who cooked something.

We have reached the half time.

After the first half do you have to gain strength for the last half. In a football game do you have a break for this but not here. 30th of April in 2018 the first half is over, only one month left. On this day we had tow reasons to celebrate. Giang and Son move to us in our accomodation. In my break, I went fast at home to clean my room. After my work I gone to Giang and Son to help by pack. After the change of the accomodation, I cooked for us summer noodles with a lot of vegetables. After our dinner, we played „UNO“ in Dominiks room. Later we went in the bed.

New project | new accommodation | half time

Day 30&31 30.04-01.05.2018 Monday&Tuesday

 

On Monday I’ve prepared the wireless access points for the new project. I’ve documented their specifications and installed them. Afterwards, my department manager showed me how to backup an exchange server and explained to me the things you’ll have to consider when doing so while your company is in operation. We also had to go to one site to create nat and ACLs rules on a router for the CCTV.

Since Giang and I weren’t happy with our accommodation, we’ve asked Intern Europe, if we could move into the house of our classmates, which had a few empty beds left. We wanted to move because where were a few problems with our house: many things were broken and there was mould in the bathroom as well as in our room. The living situation just wasn’t running well. The accommodation of our schoolmates was a lot better than ours so Intern Europe allowed us to move. We chose to move instantly, so we’ve grabbed our belongings as soon as we were allowed to. „New project | new accommodation | half time“ weiterlesen
