So at school we have this thing called Honeywell Instant Alert. I think they meant Instant Fail – epic fail. It sent a Saturday detention notice for everyone in the school. Yep, whole school got a Saturday. Well a few minuets later “We have experienced a bug in the system. Please disregard any other messages you have received from us today.”
Smooth Monmouth. Real smooth.
It’s actual name is Classlink and it is the biggest piece of crap I’ve ever had to use. What is it? It’s an epic fail piece of crapware that allows remote connections from home to the network at school. Oh and I meant “connections;” it hasn’t worked for a week. So I’m pissed as hell because the school newspaper is now like a month behind publishing. I thought since it was back up at school it would be back up at home too. That’d make sense right? Wrong. So I decided to finally call them about it. Well, if you though Microsoft or Apple had the worst phone support on earth, think again. The assholes at Crashlink hung up on me. No reason, just answered and hung up. I’ve had enough. I’m talking to the school Business Administrator about this because it’s gone on far too long.
Classlink, go burn in hell.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, we pay $18,000 a year for it too.
Actually, this one I’ll be using quite a bit. My school’s looking into setting up email for the students. As one of the editors in the journalism class, I get to be one of the first testers. About time we had some kind of email access at school. It’s actually a pretty good system too.
Well this is my last week of summer break. I go back next Wednesday. It’s funny really. Couldn’t wait to get out and now want to both no go back and go back at the same time. This’ll be the big year – 3rd one. All the big tests and college hunt. High school really does go by fast. So does summer.
Well bright side is maybe I’ll have stuff to blog about now 
Another year down, two more years of high school to go. Happy summer everyone (even if it’s a few days early!)
