New School Network

Back to school 2010, new classes, more work, and a new school network. Over our 6 week break, our IT technicians have re-done our school network. Now, instead of the custom script we used for the intranet, we are now using Sharepoint for the intranet, and instead of Horde for the school emails, we are using Outlook Web App. Now, before 2010, all computers were locked down like Fort Knox. All computers had access to the local disk disallowed, access to things such as command prompt were blocked, and software restrictions were in place, so we couldn't run any EXE's. (Although, we IT whiz kids got around that with a technique I will be willing to share with anyone that asks me :P ) So now, we can install anything we want. I think the whole reason they didn't put software restrictions back on, is because they were getting bored, and now they will have more chance at banning people from the network :P Oh, also, we now have Windows Classic taskbar, and start menu, which looks horrible, especially with our schools desktop background.

That's all for now :)

Unlimited Internet + No Blocks at school!

About a month or 2 ago, I decided to try connect to my laptop at home with RDP (Remote Desktop Connection) from school. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but when I got to school, it worked! I was so excited :D No website blocks! But then, I also found out that RDP wasn't counted as internet usage, so I could use it as much as I wanted without loosing any internet usage. I now do it all the time at school :P

Learning PHP/MySQL goal

A while ago, I bought a PHP/MySQL book and started to read it, but soon after I started, I couldn't be bothered to read anymore, and didn't learn anything. Now, I really want to learn PHP/MySQL so I am going to try again, this time, using the book, and just trying to code things using online tutorials.

Wish me luck!

Started a blog.

I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while, but never actually went through with it, but now, I have! I am hoping to spend a bit of time on this blog every once in a while, to make new posts.
