A lot of computer maintenance to do

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: March 31st, 2010 | 0 Comments

Currently I am on my two week Easter break from college, I am really enjoying having the time off, not having to get up and go to college (I would say get up early for college, however I don't really do that :) ).

So I suddenly have been given a lot of work from different people. I have just finished fixing a laptop and now I have another two computers to fix and a laptop! And once I have this lot of computers fixed I have another computer on its way, talk about busy!

So tomorrow is my day off from work and I intend to use it to get all of these computers fixed, get them out of the way so I can focus on other work  I have to get done.

I have a few assignments due for college when I get back, so ideally I would like to have those done too before I get back after my break.

I also have to complete a website I am building and I have another one lined up when this one is finished :) .

It is great getting all this extra work, gives me plenty of time to gain more experience and earn some extra money :D .

New Multi-Million Euro IT Department

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: March 23rd, 2010 | 2 Comments

Today I got my first look at the new multi-million Euro department that has been built on the DKIT campus. My first impressions of the building is that it is massive, the map you can get when you first go in will definitely be needed to find your classes!

Here are a few pics of what the place looks like at the moment.

As you can see it is looking well, there is no hardware as of yet, but that will all be getting installed during the coming summer and will be ready for the start of the next academic year, September 2010.

This is an amazing transformation for this building, it used to be an old cigarette factory (Carrolls), but DKIT bought it a few years ago.

This new department definitely puts our current IT department to shame! This building will not only be home for the computing department, but also the multimedia and music departments will also be in this building too!

I am definitely looking forward to seeing this place come September when I return for my final year!

You can see more pictures of Carrolls in my photo album.

Getting things done

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: March 18th, 2010 | 0 Comments

Just a quick post today ;) . I am finally getting on top of my workload. Recently I have found myself suddenly becoming weighed down with a lot of college assignments. However this is my own fault because I continually postponed doing my assignments! Today I sat down and looked at what I have to get done over the coming weeks and wrote down all the deadline dates so I know how long I have! I have a 2000 word report due on the 26th of this month and have only just started it, I am making a lot of progress and hope to have the bulk it completed by the end of this week. Once I get all my assignment done the reward will be great, I will be free of work and I have two weeks of holidays coming up for Easter which I will make the most of!
