Woho! So I’m really super excited about actually getting a job that I’m looking forward to starting. I’ve got a job as a support consultant and domain registrar at Crystone Norge A/S. My work will basically involve answering phones and mails from people that have their webpages hosted at Crystones servers, and take care of domains being registered trough our site by sending forms to various registrars around the world.

Now I’m sure for most people, this doesn’t sound very exciting…. And that’s why it kind of annoys me that I have nobody to talk to about these things. All my geeky friends are in the south, and the ones here are either not THAT interested, or never free to meet up and have a chat. Hopefully I’ll find someone to rant to about all this soon, but for now it’s my blog that gets it. It’s what it’s there for I guess.

Anyway, I visited my new place yesterday and had a chat with the manager, one of the co-workers and had coffee. Everything seemed so chill and cool, and when I was there ,the guys were trying to figure out why a CMS called Mambo didn’t work on a certain server. Turns out there was some problems with the development of the system being stalled, and thereby running php4 and not 5, which made certain features of the system cease to work. Think they manged to solving the problem just by moving the system over to a different server. Also, they’re mostly running GNU/Linux on their servers, which makes it an ideal job for me!
After some hanging around, my boss showed me how some of their management systems worked and how they managed all the mail they were recieving. Turns out they had about 1200 domain registrationg waiting to be sent out. Which will be my primary job the first days (or weeks, depending on how fast I’ll be).

Not much else has happened these days though. Yesterday, after I had been visiting my new job, I went and met up with Sonja, Margrethe and Julian, and we went to Dromedar Nordre for a cup of Coffee and a chat. Weather was very nice and we spent an hour or two there, before I had to get to work and finish up my last couple of days at Norfakta A/S. I might take up a couple of days at Norfakta later on if it turns out I feel I can handle it, just to make a little extra money while working at Crystone. We’ll see :)

Today is the last day at Norfakta for now, and I’ll probably be taking it VERY cool this weekend. Seeing as Monday is a holliday, I’ll have a long weekend before starting at the new place. Man I’m looking forward to it! :D
