The plan for today was to visit the Titanic Belfast Museum. Since we wanted to be there at 2pm, I could sleep longer today. After a restful sleep, I took a hot bath. Before Son, Dominik, Jenny and I made our way, I ate something quickly. We had to walk for almost an hour, but fortunately we had super good weather. „Next stop: Titanic Belfast!“ weiterlesen
Titanic Museum
It’s Saturday again and today the plan is to visit the Titanic Museum. We walked from home about an hour to the harbor, where the museum is located. On the way, I made a short stop at St. Georges Market to buy some food. This time I could even buy the Pulled Pork Burger for 6 pounds. It was very delicious. „Titanic Museum“ weiterlesen
Belfast Titanic Museum | Titanic Quarter
Day 42 12.05.2018 Saturday
On Saturday my roommates and I visited the Belfast Titanic Museum.
I realized that I was already pretty near to the museum when I’ve visited Agnew Porsche the last time because this site is located in the Titanic Quarter.
In the museum, you can learn about the different stages of the construction of the Titanic. You can also gather some background information like the reason why the Titanic was built in Belfast or how it was launched.
There was also a small Titanic Museum Roller Coaster where you can hear conversations of the construction workers and see images while the carriage moved through the different stages. It was really interesting to hear what they were thinking. „Belfast Titanic Museum | Titanic Quarter“ weiterlesen
„There is nothing special in the world, nothing magic, just physics.“
(quote from Chuck Palahniuk)
First of all, I recognise that my blog entries are short. I am sorry for it, but nothing special happens during the week, where I can write a lot of content about it. Maybe I got used to the life here, and not many things surprise me anymore. I think because of that.
Usually, after work, I go home and have dinner with the others or relax and enjoy my time here. I hope my entries will be longer on the weekend *snicker* ^^‘. „„There is nothing special in the world, nothing magic, just physics.““ weiterlesen
Little work report
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
