Not so smooth sailing
May. 10th, 2006 10:48 pmWell, it's Wednesday, always the worst day of my week.
Found some issues with the sofware already installed, but mostly they were vendor things and got fixed quickly enough. Found out I was thoroughly confused about the configuration of the internet filters, but the way they actually work is still amenable to what I need.
Installed software on another workstation, and it flopped. The network connection is not working properly. I suspect our network hardware rather than the software, and will move the machine to another port known to work properly tomorrow and see if that helps. I'll also try the current network port with my laptop to see if it works as it should.
My MP3 player, only two months old, seems to have died. Still in warranty, but that's just disappointing and leaves me with no confidence in the quality of the replacement I'll undoubtedly get in a few days.
Off to bed now. Wednesdays are just too long.
