Resnet Account Adventures - Monday, October 6, 2003
I needed to use the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET compiler for one of my Comp Sci projects, and I didn't have it installed on my laptop, so I went up to the 6th floor lounge of Hedrick where all the computers are (it kinda stinks, since all we have on our floor is couches). I apparently didn't have a Resnet password to access the computer, so I walked down to the SEASnet Help Desk all the way in Boelter Hall, but they didn't know much about it so they referred me to STC (Student Technology Center) back at the top of the hill, but they didn't know much about it either. So STC referred me to the Office of Residential Life, and the guy there didn't know about it either, and he referred me to the computer lab in Covel Commons, which turned out to be the right place. So I read through a bunch of legal agreements and got a Resnet password associated with my University ID number so that I could use any of the Resnet computers. I was finally all set. So in the evening I returned to the 6th floor of Hedrick and logged into one of the computers, only to find that the Resnet computers didn't have Visual Studio .NET installed on them in the first place.

I guess I'll have to make do with my Borland Turbo C++ Compiler for now.
