A side note about the networking here, because I'm constantly comparing it to William and Mary...
Wireless is only available in some common areas. It bleeds into my room, but only because I'm right by a lounge. The wired connection works, mostly, though every couple minutes I try to load a page and get a proxy error. It works if I refresh, typically. Another weird bit (and if you have any ideas about this one, I'd like to hear them) is that the updates for both Ubuntu and Vista refuse to download. It tells me I need to update, it tries to start the download, but it never gets anywhere. I haven't messed with it a lot yet, but it seems like something is blocked. I emailed their IT about it, but they take at least a couple days to reply to a simple email
The best thing I've found is that we can get TV over the network (only in Windows, of course). It works pretty well, so I'm pleased with that
We also have room phones, but I don't think anyone has figured out how to use them yet
And finally, I won't even go into the horribly indecipherable mess that is the Nottingham website

I created a blogspot account so I could respond to your posts...then I realized I didn't even need to! Oh well. I hope everything's doing well!
So that's interesting... especially interesting because I don't know who you are :)
