Trip around Bulgaria: Istanbul-Sofia-Rousse-Varna-Burgas-Istanbul; and vacation in Albena. Cloudy and rainy days, only one day for sunbathing… But enough time for resetting my mind after a very exhausting year! In other words, format completed successfully!
Week #20
Searching for suitable place for internship. Applied again in many advertisements. Waiting for quick answer and final solution of the problem.
Yesterday I finished installation of virtual servers which my scenario will be based on. Now I have two DCs, one DNS, DHCP, web, ISA, SharePoint and Exchange servers. I guess that configuration part is going to be harder :=)
During the whole week I was sitting on my PC and straining away at some self-made scenarios with VMs. I am trying to create a virtual simulation environment of a corporate network and server system. It is fun, but also takes a lot of time.
On Friday, there was a huge explosion of energy and emotion at Inonu Stadium, Istanbul. Hell yeah! Rammstein once again blasted our minds! They are simply the Best!
I won’t be able to post for a couple of weeks because being on vacation at Albena, Bulgaria.
Today I found some interesting cloud computing stuff worth to be shared:
Forum Istanbul 2010 went really good. Either topics and presenters were successfully selected, and the ambiance of the whole event was at high level.
General opinion was that Turkey was not affected by the global crisis as much as the other countries, instead, Turkey is right now at the position of giving economic and financial advices especially to the Europians, who are in deep troubles lately. In spite of the global crisis, Turkey’s marching towards its goal of being in Top 10 in year 2023 has been accelerated and from now on, all econmic and political authorities are expecting even faster development!
Hope to see similar or better results at Forum Istanbul 2011!

The end is coming soon. Midterms and projects are passing one by one. ISA and Exchange Server configuration scenarios have to be repeated this summer…
