Re: WPC 10K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Well, at least the guy who could connect my personal computer to the network and install the new computer I should get soon is away.

I'll just draw my science into a coloring book. Well actually it is a good thing, allows me to have a slow start ;-)

When I contracted in Australia, IT was always the slow bit. I would arrive on the start day and basically spend the whole day doing nothing.

Yeah, i've been heavily considering a portable Hard Drive to replace the 8 USB's i have!

I have USB drives for one purpose only, to use in situations where I don't want people having access to my portable hard drive. I have about four I think ranging from 1gig to 16 gig.

In science there is always something to read, but reading scientific publications makes me sleepy...

I switched to cloud sharing for pretty much everything. In the last one year i may have used USB sticks like 10 times ��

Can't always use the cloud. My works has restrictions and some places you go won't allow you access.

Besides my music collection is way too big for the cloud and I can't stream audio as I only have 1 gig download limit at the moment and no wifi at work.

Well crippled wifi but that means the same. :p No audio/video sites. No personal web email. No free software. No cloud services. So what's the point?

Sounds like someone in your IT department is a bit of a ****. There's lockdown and then there's maximum security prison environment.

We use IBM IT security services. That should explain everything. Paranoid is their second name.

Ah, it's ok. If you're a stock holder, probably pretty happy. If you're just a user, makes no difference at this stage.
