It's Over [Summer]

I'm done at LAM for the most part, still plan on working some during my Tuesdays, in which I have -0- Classes. But that means i'm back at ITS...

Reasons Why ITS will be cooler this year (From my side of things).

1. You MUST use our Symantec Antivirus. I don' t want to figure out why your Panda/AVG/Trend/McFee doesn't work. Symantec is fine.

2. NO personal wireless routers. Messiah Wireless in all the dorms. We will shut you down if you use one of your own. I don't want to configure your router (No two behave the same).

3. Get your switch at ITS! For a refundable deposit, you can get a switch of your own. It is guarenteed to work. The Hub/Ithinkitsaswitch/Cable-Modem/Block-of-Cheese that you brough from home isn't, and we don't have to figure out why.

4. Windows ME and 98 aren't supported. I can't say enough bad things about ME, it is simply the reason any computer doesn't work that has it installed.

5. Impulse is in place. We aren't dealing with a new, unfamilier piece of software that controls everyones precious access to AIM and MySpace (Which, from what I hear, is the fourth basic need).

Places where Karma will bite me for the above reasons...

1. Messiah's Wireless Network. It will go down, because of dumb people. Other dumb people will complain, and stop co-operating. This is a vicious cycle.

2. MC-Square. I don't like it, and no one else at ITS does. This was not a decision we made, but I expect to deal with calls all year about its suckatude.

3. WPA (Wireless Connections with Encryption). This is somewhat difficult to set up. Its not entirely intuitve, but we have explicit directions on how to do it. They will be ignored.

4. Anoynomus people posting comments. Learn to spell, or get off my blog. And don't repost agreeing with your self. Yes, You (But not you...)
