Snow day!

[poltr1]

But I can't work from home.

Indy had about 10" of snow fall last night and this morning. We're still under a winter storm warning. I called my project manager and asked if I should risj it. He was at home and advised me to try to work from home today. I have the link to get to $CLIENT's email server, but every time I use it, it wants to start a new dial-up connection. I cleared my cache and cookies, and it still wants to do this. Why?

So after a half hour of trying, I'm going to give up and focus on other thnigs I can do around the house. Thus I'll be burning another vacation day. :-(

Check your network settings - These directions are for a Windows XP based system.

Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Internet Options

Connections Tab

Check to see what your setting are. If you are connecting via Broadband access, then make sure its set to never Dial a connection.


If this is only doing this on their computer, then the server admin staff needs to look at the settings.

Tom got up at 4:30 this morning to make a determination with the facility manager whether to call a 2 hour delay or close the building completely. They decided that since the base was closed except for essential personnel that they would follow the lead and close the facility for the day. Fortunately almost everything can be done from home and everyone who needs to work from home has high speed internet.

We have everything that was dumped on Indy and sleet and ice that came up from down South. Bleech.
