The saga: two laptops, mostly kept apart by the breadth of a city (not to mention
some incidental desert). Desperately yearning to share their love a digital
certificate. The first one has it and the other yearns for it. But for the other
to get it, the cert must be revoked and reissued. Now this one is connected, but
then the first one stabs itself can't go online. It desperately want to
communicate but can't and the priest and the old nurse have been replaced by
unfeeling IT people. Oh, the tragedy! Will it be possible for the first one to get
connected without revoking the certificate and dooming the other? Must both
succumb to poison computer viruses? Only IT knows.
Yeah, so
that's been my day trying to telecommute so far. Is it too unspeakably greedy to
want to be able to remotely connect to work with both my home and work
computers? I do have a laptop at work, but I don't bring it home every night (too
heavy) and so if I get sick orwant to check email on a weekend I need to do it
from the home machine. They're putting in a new remote access system and so far I
am Not Impressed. Grr.
On the plus side, the pool guys started today,
sooner than expected. Destruction has commenced in my yard; they've already
removed the shack around the pool equipment and dug out a few areas where cement
will be poured. The pool gets drained Monday, and then we'll see if they are as
speedy at conscruction as they are at destruction. On the other plus side, I
taught on this side of town again today and get to be at home this afternoon. Yay!
