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...)

Human advancement has caused technology, which, in turn, has created ITS. This is some form of specialization/progressive-negative-regression or something which, though it helps us do miraculous things like use IM, Blogspot, the Internets, MySpace, YourSpace, and OurSpace all in tabs while sitting on the roof of some kind of Neo-Modern Student "Union" center, also makes us cringe whenever we hear an odd little click once in a year about ten seconds before that shiny box of magic explodes, sending plastic fragments and data packet shrapnel into our direly unprotected eyes, faces, and post-retro purple 80's mohawks that we got for over a hundred fifty bucks at the place in the mall where they have that disgusting shag carpet, which is retro, sure, but does not belong anywhere near a place of business, let alone a barbershop where my wireless won't work so that I can't check my WhosSpace page and see how many emote-bucks I've gained for that post I put up about why my cat and my RoboSapien should fight to the death over who would actually win in a fight between President Abraham Lincoln and that robot dog from the original Battlestar Galactica who's name escapes me since he wasn't even a main character since he had no real lines and just hung around with that annoying brat kid who I don't think made it into the new show because they don't have many kids in the new show because the tone is all "serious" and "adult" now because they can have people cry and die and do all that other drama stuff that get the ratings from that blasted Nielson Rating system which should be impossible, but thanks to modern technology, allows them to watch what we're watching, chart our behavior, and remove all of the shows that we really like with the excuse that "most people don't watch it," which is stupid, because with the exception of "Friends" and the last episode of "Seinfeld," there has never been a show that "most people" watch, simply because "most people" are different from each other, as a result, at least in part, of the specialization or progressive-negative-regression of modern society.
Oh, I posted those anonymous comments earlier today. I was bored. Come to think of it, I'm still bored.
Yay ITS people! I think you guys are good people.
Andrew just earns 1000xp in my campaign. Congradulations, your a level two... __________ !
The dog was a Daggit, named Muffit II (after Muffit I, whom the child had lost during the attack), and the kid was Boxey - who WAS in the miniseries of the new BSG, although he conveniently did not appear anytime after that.
Oh yeah, Muffin. Thanks.
