1 Month!

Woo, so, it’s been 1 month since I started here at Sirius and boy have I learnt a lot! Things are far more hectic this week than they were when I started but such is life.

Incredibly busy day on Monday/Tuesday when a customer server had… a little moment shall we say? But I’m now understanding more about how to locate problems which is cool. We sussed out it was probably down to bad RAM and one of their guys also saw that the kernel wasn’t properly configured - all sorted now :)

Had a training day yesterday which was really great. I got to put a lot of faces to names and my infamous Willow Brownies went down a treat. We had a visit from the head of engineering of our first 24/7 customer who filled us in on what they’re actually looking for from us. It was nice to hear the customer perspective. It gives us a good idea of where we have to get to, I think in some ways, with a lot of new hires everyone was trying to keep up with their idea of what was going on. Now we’re all on the same page.

In other news - we finally finished the computer/monitoring stuff! We ordered everything on Friday and it was delivered on Monday morning in a huuuuuuuuuge box. Paul put it all together that afternoon and we got round to setting it up on Wednesday. It’s only running two of the screens at the moment but when one of us has a spare minute (which are few and far between atm - as it should be!) we’ll get right on that. I’ll post the pictures in a separate post - when I get them all uploaded.

A.O.B.: going home this weekend - woo!
