Home. Alcohol. Life is better.

Today I:
- loaded 20+ programs onto a computer to get it up to department spec. This includes Visual Studio, which is a pain to install.
-Hauled computers around
- Fought with Office for an hour before discovering that the problem, while probably caused by the user trying to update where he should not have, was actually with Norton AntiVirus
-Had to reboot a server. Twice.
-Learned I must teach a department secretary about the care and feeding of computers

At least I worked enough today that I can sleep in one hour late tomorrow. Which is good, because there's a paper I must finish tonight...

Well, of course.

Roger that. Visual Studio is especially a problem on computers for people that know what they are doing.

- Fought with Office for an hour before discovering that the problem, while probably caused by the user trying to update where he should not have, was actually with Norton AntiVirus
I gave up on Norton some years ago for a similar, yet unrelated reason.

-Had to reboot a server. Twice.
Groovy. Better and more points given if you do it without warning.

-Learned I must teach a department secretary about the care and feeding of computers
Some people, you just can't teach.
