Today was my last time at the Belfast Friendship Club and after all this weeks I can definitely recommend it to every intern in the future. The Atmosphere and how everyone talks to each other is great and it is one of the best places to learn about their culture and Social norms. Sometimes you will get informations about some of the less well known future events in Belfast at the end of the meetup. Since it is our last time we got a small Flyer that talks about the history of the friendship club and their targets as well as giving us the contact information for the person organizing this lovely event every week. The only reason we are getting this Flyer now is that we never thought about asking for one, so definitely an error on our site. Personally this also means I will lose my chess opponent but we will try to stay in contact via the Internet. Today also means tomorrow is my last day at Knight Systems Ltd. I will have to present my report as good and far as possible, hopefully there will like it.
The last days
Today our successors arrived at precept IT. They are from italy and very friendly. in retrospect i see myself and robert, because they are also a little confused and have to get used to the new environment. Our task was to familiarize them with the systems.They have understood everything, thanks to our good documentation, quite fast and could already take over first tasks. Now a little of me . The 8 weeks in belfast are now almost over and i must say the time has pleased me and maybe i come back again to the vacation. a more detailed conclusion follows.
Beginning of the Last Week in London
On this Monday I was given the task to do some more changes to the company’s website but this time the changes were a bit more severe. I deleted all the existing webpages and created new ones with only the most important information and so getting rid of many useless pages.
After work I met up with Steven, Gunnar, Julius, Thore and Dustin at The Gate Clock which is one of many Wetherspoon pubs and this particular one is located in Greenwhich. We all got ourselves a burger and some drinks. I had a burger called the ultimate burger which was very tasty.
On Tuesday I was working on the website’s design and tried to edit the company’s logo so it would fit the website’s color scheme. When I was finished with the logo my chef unfortunately didn’t like it and so I had to remove it from the website.
When work was over I went home immediately because I wanted to do all my laundry so it would all be clean and ready to be packed into my bags.
On Wednesday the work day was rather boring because now that I was done with the website I went back to getting rid of duplicate, useless and old files from the shared folder.
After work Artin and I went to the Ninth Life to get a beer and then we went home where I had a delicious dinner.
What a letdown
Today, I started my day as ordinarily. When I showed up at my work, I started directly with a meeting/Introduction for my colleague. The presentation was about my program which I was developing in the last few weeks.
My colleague was quite happy about the result, the program was exactly doing what he expected from it.
Later, my other colleague joined our conversation. He got more requirements for the program, regrettably I couldn’t develop these features anymore because of the lack time.
The Server Days
I started this Monday with preparing the server for the client so I renamed the server and labelled the server with the new name and labelled the network ports after that I removed the cd tray from a similar server to put it in the server for the client, when I removed the cd tray I removed the hard drive case from similar server too because the one hard drive in the server didn’t had a hard drive case and was pretty easy to move in the server. The next thing was to install Teamviewer on the server so my company can manage the server remotely and then I installed all the updates the server needed.
On Tuesday I did the last check on the server if everything was alright, then I gathered all the cables together I needed to bring to the client with the server. Around half past ten my colleague picked me up with the car and we drove to the client where we installed the server. The server rack was a bit messy and we had to move the NAS to build in the server but after that was done everything went pretty quick and in the end we just did a connectivity test if everything was alright with the server connectivity and the general internet connectivity of the client. Everything was alright so I went back to the office. At home I just started to do my laundry and watched a movie about the hunt on Bonnie and Clyde.
On Wednesday I look into some over servers from the company which they didn’t use to see if everything was good with them and if we can use one of them for another client in the future.
My last days of work

What I’ve Been Eating
Everyday for lunch Nickolas and I walk a few blocks to Forest Hill Station, where there are a few options for food. Most of the time we go to a place called D&D, which is a Caribbean/Jamaican joint. The options are jerk wings, sweet chili wings, or fried chicken. I always mix it up and get either jerk chicken or sweet chili wings, alternating every other day.
A weird job
Today was a weird day.
I didn’t expect to be doing much apart from first level support, but just after I arrived I got the task to set up five android smartphones with Google accounts and everything.
This turned out to be a very tedious job, as I had to link every Google account with a mobile phone number. So I had to: start the phone, skip the set up, create the account with the current phone number, restart the phone and then log in with the previously created account.
Otherwise it was an uneventful day.
Just a bit of first level support.
New people
yesterday some new people came to our accommodation. They are from italy, unfortunately they arrived at 10 o’clock at night. This was quite annoying because nobody could sleep because of the hustle and bustle. This morning we met them all in the kitchen. They were not very talkative, but maybe they will be later. It is a little exhausting now that the house is full again and in addition their english is not too good . So they can only communicate with us via google translator.
Plans for the rest of the week
So on Saturday at 19:00 UK time our flight is scheduled to depart. We were told by the agency to arrive at the school at 8 am that day, only to wait until 2 pm to take the bus to the airport. Everyone is a bit confused why we need to be there that early, considering Twin doesn’t even open up that early on weekdays and our flight isn’t until 11 hours later. „Plans for the rest of the week“ weiterlesen
