Not Actually My Fault This Time 3/28/2006 05:25:00 PM

Okay, so lately you may be noticing a lack of communication from me here in London town. Yeah, things are busy as usual, but I am actually experiencing plenty of technical difficulties.

First of all, Regent's installed/upgraded their firewall/network protection system, and alot of programs on all of the students computers have been blocked/disabled. The first main thing to go was Skype, which actually caused an uproar. Don't worry, I sent in a very polite e-mail voicing the concern of all the study abroad students who use it, and they had some sort of Student Union appeal meeting today regarding some of the problems these recent changes.

However, today Abby and I went upstairs after classes only to find out that our computers (which were working fine in the morning) would not start properly. Abby's starts to pretend like its loading and then freezes and shuts down, and mine gives me a message saying that a particular file has been corrupted or deleted and needs to be installed, so Windows wont run without it.

Great.

If this is due to some stupid virus or something that is spreading around the campus network while they're making all these vital important security updates, that's pretty ironic.

And while I want to laugh in their faces about it, I also now have no computer access in my room. So sadly, I won't be on msn as frequently, but I'll still try to check e-mail, facebook, and myspace everyday at the IT Lab.

That sucks. I've been pretty busy too, but at least my computer has been working : P. Hope everything gets figured out. Later.
