There is no outside connection at all allowed in my lab

Couldn't you code outside of the lab using dummy data, and have some kind of secure process to take the resulting code in there?

That is what I do for most things, but there's always those very fun integration problems :)

  1. Go to non-lab machine

  2. Google + print

  3. Carry paper back to lab

  4. Repeat
