Hi all :)

I'm Pesché (which to locals call me, effective name would be peter), I'm swiss, living in the midlands between the mountains. I'm a student for Business Information Technology, specialized mostly in VMware, networking and storage stuff, but from time to time, I'll also battle some hairy windows issues. I'm a windows guy since my apprenticeship, but after Win2k3, I lost a bit track.
Yeah, what else would you like to know? :) Yes, I ride ski and snowboard, I like cheese and own a nice watch. I realize just now, that I'm a living clichée. I'm a farmers son (lots of cows), love chocolate and also climb mountains for fun.

So long ;)

Hi Peter! (I don't know how to do the accented e on my phone)

How do you like the IS scene? I thought about taking that route but decided to go with computer science instead.

What do you do for work? It's interesting to me that you don't know the newer systems. Most companies here have phased out older OS and run for the most part W7 and server 2010.

Regardless, welcome to sysnative.

Let me know if you have any questions,

No Prob ;)

Nice Avatar, I've been LaX goalie in the first swiss league for two years, but had to quit for the studies.
I like it a lot, i mean by heart, i'm a techie and always will be, but innovation and it management is very interssting as well. Here in Switzerland it's also a very good working environment, where you need skills and not only a nice suit :) Beside that, I absolutely suck, when it comes to programming, that also why i choose BIS and not CS. I always tell myself, it's the best of both worlds :D

I'm working as a freelancer in the datacenter environment, as stated, mostly VMware Stuff, Networking, Storage, Backup, Security. And I'm building up two other projects, but they're only semi-related with IT. I do know the newer systems, like Win2k12 and so, but not as in-depth as the older ones. You can't learn everything (or maybe it's just me, who can't) but i decided to go into VMware and Storage instead Windows. I also use W7 on my Laptop, but W8 I hadn't rarely touched yet.

Sticks up! ;)

What do you prefer, Applied or Theoretical Computer Science?

You can't learn everything, that's why people have specialist areas which they're good at.
 
I'm afraid to say that my favourite things while studying are more in the area of project management and innovation management. I'm also studying at a university of applied science to answer that. Don't know exactly how the UK System works, but we have a dual educations systems, where you can make and apprenticeship and a "matura" (gives you access to applied universities and with an extra year to all universities) or a gymnasium and then choose your studies.

I prefer theoretical. However realistically you do both in conjunction with each other.


I played lax throughout highschool but had to give it up for college. Wish I could go back and play but, what are you going to do?

On a related note, College lax in the US started up last week. Go Hops! :thumbsup2:

Truthfully, there isn't a single person that is an expert on everything windows. Everyone has their specialties. Being in IS you will be required to know a bit of everything but not everything there is to know. There is no shame in "Phoning a friend". I used to help out a friend I had at TSF with server issues involving SQL because I knew it better than he did. Granted I know -0- about most of windows I was able to help. Just an example of something I hear frequently; the key success is: Network Network Network! You can never know enough people.

I've been with many of the staff here for years and still continue to learn things everyday. :smile9:

I couldn't ask for a better community and am glad to see you are becoming a part of it!

Sounds like a great plan! I am doing something similar except, I have been in UNI for 3 years now and will be taking 6 months off for an internship in the industry.

This hands on experience is truly invaluable. I am a bit jealous that you get it right away :r1:

You go to University for 3 or 4 years, and in the last year you either chose to do work experience (work in the industry) or study for additional year. I want to get a PhD in Computer Science.
 
Hi Pesché, I am a newbie today myself. At the end of your list of interests, I expected to know that you could yodel, what a shame :sad:

Take care,

Hello Pesché and a warm welcome to Sysnative,

It's really nice hearing about the background of our members! Also nice to have more students joining us here being a student myself, although quite a bit younger than you I guess!

Glad to meet you, and welcome again! Make yourself at home, we're all friends here :hug:
