Perils of checking work email from home

I just got home, checked personal email, and checked work email. Then for some strange reason I decided to check work email AGAIN. In the span of 30 seconds I had received a warning message from my server. Loosely translated: "hundreds of people are now unable to access the web site, you'd better push the easy button!"

Alas, I am home, and I don't have a link to the easy button (the remote server application). So begins the quest...

The link has mysteriously disappeared from my gmail, but I think I can type it in from memory. Only, I'm typing on our toddler's computer and her keyboard has no colon! So, I go and copy one from the character map. Then I try to load the site but it won't connect. I sigh, realizing I must load up VNP first. So, I load up VPN but it hasn't been installed on this computer before. So, I have to install it. Finally, I reach the remote server site, and it says I need a newer version of Java. So I have to install that. FINALLY I get in to the remote server app and press the easy button.

All is well now.

I really need to get that server problem fixed...
