I feel great

I need to access a remote site for project #3. I installed the Shrew Soft vpn but was always timed out when trying to connect. The IT person was unable to locate the problem, but remembered reading something about a problem with the software and Windows 7 Ultimate. I decided to go hunting on the internet, and after a number of false starts found a recommendation to disable the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. I did this and now can access the vpn. Cool!

Now that I had access I could check for the documentation items opened for the next release. Some were easy and I have already fixed them; others I need access to the system to check or I need expert input.

I also had a call with one of the developers where he walked me through his new development. I asked questions and elicited more info, and it really felt great to be part of the system again.
