hardware rant: it may be that i won't be able to say goodbye to Audrey after all; at least, not as soon as i thought. it turns out my user restrictions on Liv are actually quite a bit tighter than i thought; the internet access currently available to me from the room i'm renting requires the use of a service provider provided Vodafone USB modem; the restrictions won't allow me to get Liv to use the device.
so no internet access through Liv, unless i can find a wireless network somewhere nearby i can hook-up to, at least on weekends, or convince the Company's IT dept to give me administrator access or at least a greater degree of user freedom despite my not having been with the Company long enough for them to turn her over to me.
then again, there's no precedent for my position, which means it may be easier (or, for the same reason, harder) to get anything of the sort done; part of what's difficult about my situation is that the Company i've been talking about, the one with the IT dept that provided me with Liv's software and setup, isn't my primary employer; the Company's IT dept set her up for me, but they didn't pay for her. in fact, several standard procedures were bypassed to get me Liv as soon as they did, and now i'm at a loss as to who gets to tell me what regarding how i can and can't use her.
right. gotta go; The Italian Job on the telly (the 'nonremake', not the original).
