GAH!
I get so angry with Information Services sometimes. I know that they are severely understaffed and overworked and everything, but sometimes I swear they just make extra work for themselves and the rest of us. All I want to do is connect my laptop to the wireless LAN. It seems like this shouldn't be a complicated task, but the amount of work you have to do just to get to the stage where you can connect is ridiculous. I've had to set a VPN/RAS password in order to connect and it refused everything I tried. Apparrently tn07813 is a dictionary word. I've never seen or heard that used in conversation ... Grrrr. Anyway after a thousand attempts or so I eventually got a password that works, but I've not got a hope in hell of being able to remember it so I've had to write it on my hand. In a while I shall store it on the computer's hard drive out of the way, but until then I will be walking around with my login written in ink on my hand.
That's secure, that is.
