matters of access

[saffronhare]

A month or so ago, my home laptop stopped wanting to believe in the internet. Like, I could open up Chrome or whatever (didn't matter which browse) and it'd look like I was there, and then I'd type "ww" to get somewhere. As soon as I typed the third "w," everything would just *blink* and be GONE. Very confusing, and not something I've had the spare time to tackle. Added to that, workplace installed a ZScaler program thingie that severely limits access to the internet on our own network, ostensibly to preserve bandwidth for business functions, but it's been a pain in the but for legitimate work. I'm one of the people with Permissions, and I'm sensitive to not abusing that privilege. So. Very little presence here...sorry. I do continue to read along, but kind of hate typing a post on my phone. Right now, I'm piggybacking on diermuid's laptop because he's out at a scouting thing.

Many things are challenging, and many things are going well. Miss you monsters and hope to figure out some sort of occasional access again soon!
