Preventors of Information Services
Feb 28th, 2008 by Jason
Since beginning my new job and discovering I didn’t have admin rights to my own machine, I feel like I have been trying to outstare the sun as I have battled for various pieces of software to be installed.
Company I.T. policy prevents the installation of, well, anything and this is enforced at a local and domain level.
What is today’s vexation, which finally prompted me to write? - I wanted to use the BBC listen again function but discovered that this requires the Real plug-in or Real Player. Admin rights required! The same was also true of the Real Alternative, iTunes and any other type of player or media converter I tried. Listening to the radio at work seems to be a small concession to someone who works (currently) alone on technical documentation. Perhaps I am being daft and there is a simple way round this. If you know please share.
