Thanks to the fact that the DB11 exam is currently in session, all of the School of Computing computer labs are currently taken up with people sitting the exam so I have been forced to resort to using an ISS cluster!
Bring back Colossus, then we would have space. Presuming they continued to split the exam into two groups as they have done now and not put people in Colossus. That would be stupid as they would still need to have two groups at two times so they might as well leave Colossus empty for other people to use.
Anyway yeah, I’m in the first section of Bragg cluster off Red Route. It’s horrible! I logged on, went to open Firefox – it isn’t there! I’m forced to use Internet Explorer because they don’t even have Firefox installed. How am I supposed to open up new tabs? I’ve already tried once. Before I gave it a thought I hit Ctrl+T to open a new tab before realising I was using IE.
The screens are tiny too, we have massive resolutions in our labs, these are pathetic. Plus, they don’t even have chairs! They just have stools. Sure they spin around but it’s just poor quality all round.
There are civilians in here too. No nerds here. I need to be with my own people, it’s just scary. We need way more labs in SoC, even if it’s just called “backup emergency lab so you don’t have to resort to ISS.’
While I’m ranting about ISS I should also complain about the latest issue I am having with them, it’s started rejecting most of the emails we send out from film making society because there are two many recipients. What is going on there? That’s well BS. I mean, it’s mail coming from their own servers! From their own domain. It’s a joke.
Don't have time to check my blog? Get a weekly email with all the new posts. This is my personal blog, so obviously it is 100% spam free.
