The Narrative of Kurt & Becky

Woke up late again today. Yeah I woke up at 8:15. Threw some clothes on and drove to work. I called on my way in to let them know I’ll be late. I don’t know what happened, I didn’t even hear my alarm.

Anyway, at work. Mike and I have been working on this gateway for our dorm users. It’s set up now with a linux box running DHCP so I can limit the access the students have to our campus servers. For a while now, we’ve been working on getting the students to agree to a acceptable use policy before they can access the internet just for the school’s protection, and whatnot. I don’t know if any of you have ever tried to use Wi-Fi at a Starbucks, well anyway it allows you to connect, but when you try to go to any internet site, it redirects you to their gateway which tries to get money out of you. You pay, then you can access the internet. You not pay, you keep getting the redirect page.
