It never rains, but it pours

For those complaining about the Belgian summer (and I know you're out there ... yes, its you I'm talking to !) I have the following picture :



Only when you've seen cars sticking front first into drains can you talk about rain !

The Cableguy

Before I left for Hyderabad I was instructed on how a good computerrack should look and how the cables in the rack should be positioned. My teacher in this (hello there Christophe) asked me to send in pictures of our computerroom.
Well ... this is the picture of switchrack :



I could easily claim the honour for this, but actually its a combined effort of the Cableguy(s) from Pioneer Tower and the SysAdmin team of Colruyt India that resulted in this. Nice work guys !

Who's who in Colruyt India

Since yesterday all Colruyt India members can be easily recognised.



It contains the name, company code and blood group. Very handy for passing vampires (and other leeches) ... and in case of accidents of course !

Efficiency during and outside working hours

Our reporter on site (on the road actually) took the following two shots in which you will recognise two sysadmins and probably will not recognise two others :






Now, that's what I call efficiency and teamwork !
By the way guys, the bike driven by Abdal was ahead ... :-)

Developers At Work

I've heard our developers complain that they don't often feature in the blog. Here's a link to resolve that issue : PLI Developers At Work (well, getting training really, but if you don't say that, who's going to notice ;-).

Forgive me for the poor quality, was taken on a mobile phone.

The Coolest Job in Colruyt India ...

... is being a SysAdmin ! Or so they told me themselves, two minutes after this picture was taken. At least, that's what I think they said, for some reason they were shivering while they said it ...



And the best part is, we're still looking for SysAdmins. And Java Developers as well. So why not contact us and join us ?

First Sysadmin Meeting

After a thorough training on "agenda", the sysadmins decided to have their first meeting. Everyone showed up !



So, if you have a problem and no one else can help then maybe you should call ... "The SysAdmins" !

Testing is Important

Yes indeed it is and I'm quite sure that our new developers already learned that in the mean time. Welcome to you all by the way !

The crew finishing our office also believes in thorough testing. In the picture below you can see the combined cubicle / carpet test. Everyone can "rest" assured that nothing will be left to coincidence :-) !



This also reminds me of the fact that I didn't show pictures of how the office looks these days. Well, here they are ...






And yes, this is the same space where on Friday they started putting the carpet in ... :-)
