Blogging from university. Yes, they

Blogging from university. Yes, they have finally reopened the computer room. \o/ They have added new computers, too, and they're decently fast. The only downside is that the OS is WinXP (Home edition). I had almost forgotten how much I loathe this OS. >< It's too... candylike. Glossy.
Oh, and apparently they finally got a Sysadmin With A Clue™. You can no longer install anything on the university computers unless you are logged in as Administrator, which us students, of course, can't do. On one hand, I am annoyed, because I can no longer install mIRC, and java is disabled too so I will have to find an HTTP chat or some other way to get on IRC :p On the other hand, however, I'm rather happy with the restrictions. They are smart restrictions, finally, and not being able to install stuff doesn't annoy me, since it also means that all the clueless idiots can't install any computer-damaging program. Whee.

[EDIT] LOL, one of the guys from the administrative staff came this way, and said (to the guys sitting next to me), "I will castrate the first one who gets caught downloading shit on these computers and making them unstable. And all the others, for that matter." XD

Ooooooh. Sounds like you win. Apart from the fact that the sysadmins installed XP :|. It also sounds like they have the right idea when dealing with users.

Maybe you should try and get a job as a sysadmin. Join the dark side. You know you want to ;)
