Thou Shall Not Fail Thy Exams

This is just a quick note to let you all know that I am not writing in this blog until mid-June.

*Awwwww!*

I am sorry, but the exam period has started and the laws of physics just got me -- I can never be at two places at once.

But I will be writing things starting mid-June, and you can either check it out during summer or read it when the school starts.

You all have exams, too. So I would like to say GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

*APPLAUSE*

75 shops (More than enough to go around!)
Restaurants
Coffee shops
Bars

Things I didn't know: Part 4 "Plug it Cable"

Tried connecting to wireless from your dorm and the network admin allegedly suspended your wireless ID?

You can still connect through cable free.

Maybe you noticed them, the cable inputs in the library, and the university hall etc.

1) Plug the cable

2) Look at the input socket! There should be some numbers. They are the address you must insert in your connection settings.

3) put the:
a) IP address,
b) Mask,
c) Gateway and
d) DNS into your LAN connection settings.

Voila!

A card in your sleeve for the test

A card in your sleeve for the test

Can I ask you a question? What's Iambic pentameter? What are the differences between Trochee and Spondee? err...

Well, here's something fancy I found: this easy nursery rhyme will cover some of your scores in the test. Muhahaha

Good luck with the test, E/AMP students of 1st/2nd year!

"Rhythmic Beat"

Iamb
Two syllables
short and long
for the time of year to see,

Trochee
Another two syllables
long and short
waiting for me to be,

Anapest
Three syllables
with intensity to
climb and see the tree,

Dactyl
With three syllables
that stress to pensive long
in the forests of time
where pines no longer grow, for

Spondee
For two or more
consecutive, stressed syllables-
That - Hears, hears hears
the cold grey wind, upon the sea!

If you're bored or don't understand it, No worries!

Read these! They have nice examples. Iamb (I-amb), Trochee (Tro-kee), Anapest (A-na-pest), Dactyl (means "finger") and Spondee.

Things I didn't know: Part 3 "Wireless connection in Dormitory"



Now this one is a little bit off the line. I alone have this service, and I hadn't asked for it, it just spontaneously came to me. Yes, I can connect to wireless network right from my dormitory room! How? I don't know how. But try it out, it may work.

  • a) Register the UTB-Student wireless network using your Novell network ID and password.
  • b) Put the setting to automatically connect every time you are in the signal range.
  • c) Seat yourself at the Wireless network places and go wireless.
  • d) Shut down your PC (hopefully laptop)
  • e) Go to your room and turn it on. If you're lucky, it should still get the signal.
If you live in one of these dorms, you can at least save the cable connection fee!

Things I didn't know: Part 1 "Using Scanner"

Editorial note: Because of some people's complaint, I change the title of the series into
"Things I didn't know" from "Things you didn't know".

Using Scanner

Well, this one is just something I noticed accidentally. I needed a scanner and I never thought I could find one.

But all the computer rooms (U2, library and u5) had 4-8 PCs marked SCAN on their monitors.

So, here's how you can use the scanner -- free.

  1. You go to the Xerox push on the scan button (see the picture below)
2. Choose the PC you're sitting on. (for example, SCAN2) and scan your paper by
pressing Start (the big green button).

3. Sit on the PC with SCAN2 note on it.

4. Log in.

5. Open ScanRouter V2 Link (Start=Programs=DeskTopBinder V2) and you will see
the scanned paper.

6. Save it, and mission accomplished!


Tip: This is the image I scanned in Library. The stick figure is doing the robo dance!
