On the smart enterprise where we (now) do our clinical planning they are very strict: no installing any external software; no accessing the Internet; no email; etc. Not all centers adhere to this level of strictness, but ours does. To be honest, I am surprised they allow me to do the programming I do, but so far it has been all pluses and no minuses, and for those dosimetrists who choose to use the tools I have developed, they are more productive than they would be doing things by hand. Now the 810X Solaris workstation that was retired when we went to smart enterprise is *mine* and they really don't care anymore what I do with it. When it was being used for actual clinical planning, it had its Internet access disabled, etc. I have since restored it, so I could install software now, including Git. But I am reluctant to do anything that I am not allowed to replicate on smart enterprise. I am trying to keep it as close to identical to the actual clinical environment as I can. Perhaps this is misguided on my part? As always, I welcome your thoughts. It could be I am being unnecessarily cautious in regards to the 810X, but as has been pointed out there is much I do not know, so my motto is to first ensure I do no harm... -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
