  • Padraig Fahy – The IT Technician

    Today, I attended a interview at a National School here in Monaghan to become a Intern IT Technician.

    The interview went better than expected. I was nervous when I went in, but they quickly dissipated. We discussed about the infrastructure in the school, the computers, network, servers and what-have-you. It was amazing to hear that I could possibly be starting on the 7th January 2013. (when the students return to school).

    After about 18 months of no work or education, I can safely say that I am ready to start working in the “real world” rather than spending time doing work experience for about 3 weeks without doing much (Seriously, I was making coffee one time even though I wasn’t allowed to do that, but oh well).

    And hopefully, after the 6 months has passed, I hope that I will either A) continue to work for them or B) Move up in the ladder and secure a non-intern, permanent job that will see me coming off the dole and actually earning money the way it’s suppose to.

    Things are looking up for me, and 2013 is shaping up to be a great start to my working life.

    And I would like to say a big “Thank You” to my cousin (Is that what he is?1), David McFadden for informing me about this internship. I never thought about it at first, but after discussing it with him, I said “F*** it, I’ll apply anyway!”.

  • Multiple Services, 1 Login, All Online and FREE!

    You might have that title and asked, “What has multiple services, only requires 1 login and it’s online and free?”.

    About 10 years ago, this would have been unheard of. Free services…on the internet!

    Well, you may know a company known as “Google” that originally started as just a search engine, but you might not have thought that Google did more. If you already have a Gmail account or even a YouTube account, you already have a “Google Account”.

    Hi everyone. How are we all doing today!

    So, I came back from the LAN on Saturday and I was tired as hell and I decided to go to bed at about midday and didn’t wake up till that evening, but hey, I don’t mind it. It was a freaking great LAN and hopefully there will be more of that in the future.

    Hello everyone. It has been a few days since my last blog post.

    Let’s just say it’s been…”eventful”. Keyboard has a massive accident, I accidentally spilled coffee on my Razer BlackWidow (didn’t even have it for 3 months) but it is working, just have to clean the keys every so often to prevent them from sticking.

    The weekend was pretty quiet as I was trying to keep warm after a frost bite hit. It hasn’t been as bad today as it was over the weekend which I am grateful for.

    Anyway, there is going to be a couple of posts this week and then I am going away to Athlone to a LAN, so that is pretty awesome. I should have a couple of JukeBox’s up later today/tomorrow!

    Have a good day everyone 🙂
