AAAAArrrrggghhhh

I’m staying at Congress Hall in Cape May, New Jersey for a couple of days. I wanted to configure a dell system for one of my clients while they can still get XP. It took me about 45 minutes to get the configuration exactly the way I wanted it. At 11:59 PM I hit “Save cart” and…… Nothing happened.

I got the ‘sign in with your password prompt’ which wiped out my cart page causing me to lose the cart (The back button would not work)

I had tried the password the hotel gave me earlier but apparently it changed. I’m not sure if it changes every night or just on Sunday Nights.

Anyway, the way it works really ticked me off. I realize they have to provide a measure of security but it’s rather rude in the way it works.

I called Lodgenet and apparently the hotel where we are staying is set to require a new password every seven days so I just hit the “your luck sucks today” scenario.

I would normally use my sprint aircard but it keeps going to roam mode and sprint is a little fuzzy about how much, if any, additional charges would occur.

Anyway, back to trying to remember exactly how I just configured the system.
