Cyber faluire

Same story this week.

It never ceases to amaze me that, a country that is so good at creating the contents of website - evidenced by the BBC news, Guardian Unlimited - can be so bad at managing IT eqipments. When I was attending a lecture in the lab this Tuseday and Wednesday, the computers just broke down any time it liked. One time the whole class even had to be dismissed earlier - for there was no point in teaching Quark when you could not use the computer.

And the Intener connection in the hall is just getting ridiculous. The management simply blames the problems on the private Internet provider, to which it made the choice to switch in the first place. Now nobody really want to take care of the problem. They have been saying the internet is going to improve in the next week - for 2 months. They even told me the internet is not on the contract and is free, which is totally no true according the webpages of the school (rolling down to the "Rent and Contracts").

Whn I pointed out this to them, they just said it's "my point of view", "it's just a web statement" and "we cannot provide any further information". I kinda feel these guys are acting like criminals. Time to exercise the FoI act.

catalyst people... and the uni people who sit on top of the hall management on camera?

'Just a f@%king web statement'?!? They real are unbelievable morons at the hall office.

Perhaps we should take the same approach with our side of the bargain, i.e. paying our accomodation fees, we could say it was 'just a written statement', not to be taken seriously, and we're 'not prepared to give out any more information about it.'

They really are fully fledged arseholes.
