Hi everybody!

Sorry for being late this time. I simply can't imagine that already another week has passed... Also I had to apologize if my sentences are sporadically a little bit weird because yesterday I forgot to do some push-ups, so I'll do it while blogging. ^^

Well, some bad news at first: Actually we are supposed to write about our work placements, but on Friday last week I had to sign a written agreement about preserving the company secret. Nevertheless I'll post something on my own risk - no risk, no fun! *lol* No, actually I think it is ok as long as it relates to my blog. ;D

Among others my tasks last week were to update a Dell switch and a Cisco router with the latest firmware and to configure SNTP, the time zone and the summer-time on the Cisco router. And in order to update the router I had to create a TFTP-Server (with some Freeware program) so that I was able to upload the new Cisco IOS. Furthermore I copied 2 Backup-files, created VMs of them and integrated them into a Test-Network, also I upgraded another ESX-Server with 4GB RAM.
Today I started to reinstall a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. In the process of that several (annoying) problems and errors occurred - I'll don't want to list them all, but it took way longer than normal to start the installation process at last (after installing '.Net Framework', 'MSPowerShell' and a BIOS update for example). Tomorrow I have to finish the installation and configure the Exchange Server...

Now for something completely different. On Sunday, where the weather was really beautiful warm and sunny, I received lady visitors from Germany: A former female superior from the German armed forces (Sandy) with another girl which I don't know before (Mary). Mainly they came in order to visit a Rihanna concert in the 'Odyssey Arena Belfast' and to see me. xP
They also took a flight from Berlin to Dublin and a bus to Belfast like we did by the way. So I went into the city to pick them up, but they'd left the bus somewhere else than us so it was hard to find them... After a short walk through the city I led them to their hotel and went to the 'Botanic Garden' to meet Riccardo and Friedrich in order to relax a bit in the sun. On Monday night I met with the two girls, after they were back from the concert, at the Botanic Inn to drink some beer and talk with Sandy about the good old times at the armed forces. We had a lot of fun at that, oh yeah... xD They left Belfast yet this night with the bus to Dublin because their flight to Berlin was about 7 or 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning.

Well, I'm a bit exhausted now and I'm getting very tired too. I think I'll post something like general facts (good-to-know-stuff, you know) about Belfast next time... maybe..., we'll see... =)

Catch ya later!
