I think that's the next step after the campus wifi.
(And contacting campus IT might be the step after that. Our department tech guy reached the limit of what his permissions allowed him to do.)

Looks like it might be related to me not having installed an OS update...but I can't install the update without the internet!
(Not even from a download of the installer on another disk...)

If it were really aware, it would know how frustrated I get when I finally have time to do research but can't actually do it!

My work computer suddenly won't connect to the internet. Great.

Yes: free.

If you know someone eligible, tell them to apply!

Ahh heck, just saw this!
I'm staying with my aunt who's a little bit south of Boston proper, so I think it's a bit late for me to head up there and back tonight. But see you tomorrow!

Research for sure!
I need a big chunk of time off from teaching to clear out some of this backlog of papers I need to write! And then there's also some new projects I'll hopefully be starting if I get it.
