Yo-Yo Project Risk

Just as I thought things were beginning to go smoothly, the issue of server access reared its ugly head again. What can I say? This risk, which periodically manifests itself as an issue is like a Yo-Yo.

The time has come for me to upload the simulation code onto a server for hardcore experimentation. Talking the process through with the supervisory team, it transpires that although technically the server provided by my previous University is sufficient for experimentation, it will be overly cumbersome and fiddly to use. The scheduled updating of the hardware is not for a few weeks, and therefore I can either upload my code now and try my luck or wait for the upgrade.

Not again! I feel like last chance saloon, is quickly coming into view.

The third and final option is to try and gain access at my current University to servers back in Biology. Luckily, I know the Biology Sys Admin pretty well from my time on the masters degree, so will hopefully be able to facilitate such a request. People are very protective of server access at this University, so I'm hoping the power of the network, and indeed my people skills will pay off. As the saying goes, "it's not what you know, but, who you know".

Fingers crossed.
