As always I start my week with the latest episode of Game of Thrones it was a good episode especially after the last episode which I didn’t like so much because in my opinion a lot of things just didn’t make sense and were very illogical without spoiling anything. „May Day Bank Holiday and Hyper-V“ weiterlesen

8th May → 8th June
Today I took a look at the calendar and I realized that we will depart in one month. Let’s see what I can do in the next weekends.
So far, my day was normal, like all the other days. I got access to a new platform which consists on signing documents online. Now my task is to use the developer API and create a program which will fetch all the filled forms from the users. When I requested the API key, I had to wait some hours.
The National Museum of Computing
Last Sunday I started off my day by visiting the National Museum of Computing, located in Bletchley Park. We got to see old working computer systems, including a rebuilt computer called Colossus Mark 2.
Colossus was a set of computers developed by British codebreakers during the second World War to help in the cryptoanalysis of the Lorenz cipher, which I discussed in my last Blog.
I got to see the giant disk of an old hard drive that could store 4 Megabytes on each side. Also in the museum were replicas of the „Bombe“ (also discussed in my last blog). All in all I had a great time seeing the exhibition of old computer artifacts and would recommend a visit for anyone.
Another long weekend
Not much happened at work these past few days, mostly just getting computers ready to go and fixing any issues that come up in an office, like printers or headsets not working.
The weekend was very enjoyable however. „Another long weekend“ weiterlesen

Hey, there is something…
Today I start writing my blog, directly from my workplace. I got some instructions about my new project, and I did some researches while waiting for my credentials to login on the website. Unfortunately one of the colleagues was all the day busy and he couldn’t give me the login details, so I kept myself busy doing researches.
a fresh breeze in the working routine
The day started very relaxed as we had managed to go to bed a little earlier yesterday. After I had my morning coffee we went to work. there we already had to compare the backups with the database. after we noticed some unfinished backups we talked to the supervisor and our next task was to fix them. It was not easy and we often had to get in touch with the customers, but we could also get to know the many different systems of our company and gain a little more experience in dealing with customers. In the end most of the backups are working and the rest will be done tommorow and we can be satisfied with ourselves and the day.
Server-, NAS- and Client Backups
Normally the work here at Precept-IT is pretty straight forward, but today we got something different to do. „Server-, NAS- and Client Backups“ weiterlesen
Fish and chips
Most of the time I go to the next tesco for lunch at work and get me packed bread or some fruits. Today I decided to eat something warm. There is a very small fish and chips take-away store near our workplace called „The Supreme“ (62 Sandy Row). Even if I rarely eat fish, I still wanted to try it because its so well known food and part of the culture here. „Fish and chips“ weiterlesen
Bletchey Park
Bletchey Park was the home of the codebreaking operation during the second World War. We spent two days there, Saturday and Sunday. On the first day we explored the museum of Bletchley Park and on the second The National Museum of Computing. Although there was much to see, I got a thorough inside into both.
