Well, it’s been a long 4 months but I finished my project. I was lead for the network implementation of one of japan’s largest currency exchange companies. The project started from the ground up, all new hardware and lines, including the build out of two data centers and upgrade of the office location and the implementation of a VoIP phone system. Then the migration of their current services from foreign hosted data centers to ones local to japan.
These types of projects are normally 9 to 12 month projects. We had basically 5 months, with a 4 month early completion bonus. So from initial planning, ordering and implementation… we made the 4 month mark!
I spent the last month doing config cleanup, training and documentation. Now, from tomorrow, I am spending my bonus on a vacation. Off to go camping in Nagano for 3 days, then to Okinawa’s Iruomotejima and Ishigakijima for beach bumming and more camping for a week and finally back to kyoto for a 3 day camping/music festival.
After that, I come back to a new project as a PM/Manager for Asian Operations for large financial company.. in Roppongi…
