Induction

Monday Started off the week with a ticket from last week whereby a person wasn’t able to finish a business process flow and it came down to them not having the System Administrator that they had in the development instance, so not hard to fix. At this stage, we had a meeting with one other developer in Dublin and the main customer where there was a problem with the logic of one of the processes that needed to be fixed, so we needed to have this meeting to sort out what the logic is supposed to do....

No. 2

As a note for these posts, I’m not sure I’m allowed to go into specific about what companies I’m receiving tickets from, so I’m just not going to risk it and just be ambiguous, sorry about that. Monday New week, new me… or something to that effect. So, we went in and there wasn’t a huge amount to do initially but we had a meeting at 10:30 that will occur every fortnight with the rest of the CRM support team....

The First Week

And so it starts! This is the first week on work placement, the final part of my course. It’s all very exciting, but also very nerve-wracking, due to there being so many new skills that I’m going to have to learn. Point in case, this is my first time living away from home, so I have to look after myself and such. As a side note, these blog posts recalling my time on work placement are written on the same day so that I won’t forget too much detail....

It's A Long Time Coming

Well hey there, it’s been a while alright. Guess I should explain where I’ve been for the past while then. Are you ready for it?… Laziness and tiredness. That’s all. I got too caught up in all of the projects that I had due that I really didn’t have a huge about of free time left to really want to update this site. But I’m back now, all projects for the year submitted and about to start work placement tomorrow, so it’s all starting to pick up again....

public static void 2018()

The start of a new year always comes with some amount of anxiety, at least that’s the case for me. There’s always the questions of what’s going to happen this year, what did I accomplish this year and how can I improve upon the goals that I set out to do. Being able to look at the future and say “Yeah, I can do it” is an important part that I some days feels like no problem and others, a huge mountain....

2017, A Recap

Last updated: 1/1/2018 </2017> I realise it’s been over a month since the last blog post here, shh… let’s not talk about that. That’s because I was busy finishing up all the projects that I discussed in my last post. So, I’ll very briefly go over how everything turned out. Web Programming 3 We got most of the features that we wanted to implement implemented and the website is now hosted on Firebase....

The Real Fun Begins

So… Long time, no chat! Ok, so I’ve some explaining to do regarding this whole blogging thing. This is the first time I’ve done anything quite like this, so for me, I haven’t quite gotten into the rhythm of doing something like this frequently. I realise that it’s been over a month since the last post and there actually has been a lot that’s been doing on, I’ve just been neglecting this blog....

Week 2, The Sequel

That… was a weird week. Ok, so it wasn’t actually that bad, more disorganised. With this being the first full week back to college, nothing is really set in stone at this point, but life moves on, so we run around the college aimlessly trying to find the right classroom that we’re supposed to be in at a given time. Either way, on to my log… Note: I’m going only going to be talking about important classes throughout the given day, not every class....

Back To The Books

So here we are, back to college. As stated in the about page, I attend IT Sligo, which is great considering how close it is to my house (10 minute drive) and that the course itself is actually good, which friendly lectures and full of people how want to learn. The exact course I’m studying is BSc in Computing in Software Development which in turn means that I do a wide type of different topics, from C# software development, to Game Development, to Databases, to Client-Side Scripting, to more....
