Logging In

Father Bronze · 02-05-2002, 09:34 AM

Just a passing thought, not a complaint.

It just crossed my mind that I do a lot of logging in and out. When I get to work I need to log in to the network. Then I need to log in to access the internet (internet filtering is mandatory in Illinois public schools). Then I need to log in to check my E-mail, or to post on forums. In fact, logging in is a required part of my job. I can't take attendance without logging in (and that's a different log in by itself).

Of course if I leave my classroom to take my students to the computer lab for reasearch (that's a different log in) or typing, I need to log in all over again. I wonder how much time I spend logging and waiting (our computers aren't the fastest -- something about a shortage of funds and needing to replace the old 486 computers in the elementary schools before getting to us at the high school)?

log in the fireplace when it got cold.. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Seriously though--same here FB, I am a webmaster.. I have to log in and out for like 20 things a day sometimes.. I even created batch file type programs that automaticly do it for me..

If you are referring to logging in to Ironworks each day...I usually never log out. When I pull up the forums, I am already in. I am "in" on both PCs at once. I wonder if that would show me being here twice in the "who's online" feature?

I am always logged in here at IW, but goodness me, my life consists of a series of passwords and security numbers. It's getting to the point where soon we won't be able to go for a pee if we forget the correct password....

To do my work I log in, log out, log in - I have about 3 different passwords at a time just for the basic work stuff, then I have 6 or 7 personal e-mail accounts, 20 or so forums which need passwords to log in, a whole range of other non-forum sites which require logging in and passwords, a security number to get money from the ATM, a password to get money over the counter at the bank, FB - I agree with you completely.

On another note, I worked out that over the course of my life, should I live an average span, more than 1 year of it would be spent waiting for buses - now THAT's a sobering thought... and guess what, I worked that out while I was waiting for the bus one night!

er... I can't drive.

No seriously, learning to drive and running a car is very expensive and bad for the environment. Too much pollution already, mad to be sitting in an individual tin can with my engine running when I live in one of the most congested and polluted cities in Europe.... I would just be adding to the problem, and would spend that time sitting in traffic queues instead.

Wow. I thought I had it rough, but I don't have anywhere near 20 different log ins? I think I'd go crazy. I can think that I'm only logged in to 5 different things at any one time (forgot about the grade program = 6). I didn't know I had it so good. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Rumour has it that the Technology people might rip the motherboards out of the teacher computers and upgrade this summer. So I might not have to spend as much time waiting come fall. That would be nice.

I always am logged into forums, just have to log into msn.

And heres a hint, have the same password for everything, or have two, the first with a slight difference from the other. It helps alot.
