I've been working on a VPN remote access solution for our office for some months now.

Tonight, after a phone call to Microsoft, I got it to work. I could browse the network and everything.

I probably shouldn't have celebrated this fact by connecting to our Chief Investment Officer's computer (she's the second in command, and the CEO is out of town for a month) and leaving a file on her desktop named "If You Can Read This The VPN Works.rtf", huh.

Sweet!

I'm also pleased to notice that I'm not the only one that tends to use .rtf files. I use Wordpad more than I do Word.

I don't have Word installed any more, since I built Mace. I use WordPad when I need it done in a hurry, and Open Office when I need full features. Cheaper, easier, makes me happier.

Congratulations! (smiling and nodding near total incomprehension, but happy for ya)

Hee. May not be a good idea.

I tended to do things like that at my old job. That and sending pages to remote printers that read "If you can read this, remote printing is working, so ner."

Alas, the impact was somewhat lost by the fact that she was logged into a slightly different user ID than usual and the file had to be manually found rather than merely seen on her desktop. Still, the CIO was quite pleased, when we DID find it. So that's all right then.

I would've done the same thing, but then I have been known to solve people's technological problems by silently leaning over their shoulder and pushing the "on" button.

Hehehe. YAY!
