Work stuff

Well, not everything is fully negative in things that really matter. Just got word that I get a new work contract for about 2 years forward (and a little pay raise even! w00t). Now you might ask why only 2 years, but I work at place with mostly externally funded projects so they can't promise much more than that in one go. But if it goes like before the contract will continue again. Unless I find something by that time, but I enjoy doing what I do, quite flexible work hours and the work place is not like some ordinary plain and boring office, but who knows...

SPSS Dimensions survey system

Unfortunately I must work with the above piece of shit software for a while. I don't understand how the hell SPSS justify the cost.
The documentation is a mess, web interface works with IE only (there is not technical reason for this, gmail and other "web 2.0" interfaces are much more complicated than DimensionsNET), the web admin interface kicks me out from time to time without any reason and when I try to login again, it just gives an internal error (wait 4-5min and it works again).
Could be that it's just some simple configuration problem but unfortunately I'm not the administrator (and the server is located some 500km away so I can't even go and kick it myself...)

Well, back to building the survey...
