Big News Everyone!

You know that horrible mess of a Z Drive we have? You know how it's all disorganized and inaccessible away from campus? You know how annoying that is?

Well, yes, I'm sure you do...

In any case, you can now access the files on the Z Drive from anywhere in the world! (Not to mention that the files are wonderfully organized!!!) How? You may ask. well I will tell you:

That link above takes you directly to this website's Student Drive page, aka tsomstudent.weebly.com/student-drive.html

All you need to do is enter the student password when prompted, and voila you have access.

A few disclaimers:

• I just started the organization/upload process, so all I have up currently is the Term 1 stuff we have done so far.
• I have only been around for a short amount of time, so I won't be able to organize upper term stuff without help! (or until I'm in that term...)
• I don't know half the stuff that's currently on the Trinity provided drive, so I really do need help organizing (you can even do it on your own time from your own bed/chair/whatever).
• Help Help Help! (I'll even give you a format in which to organize so that you don't really have to do any thinking.
• We can probably add the student files from the google doc files if someone wants to organize that too!
  

If you haven't already heard. We have had one student contract a strain of Dengue Fever from a mosquito bite.

Be on alert and stay safe, or you will be miserable for about 3 weeks and struggling to catch up with work!

Tips:

• Try not to go outdoors at peak mosquito hours. (dawn/dusk/night)
• Try not to hang around standing water, and remove all sources of standing water from your area if you can.
• Wear pants and long sleeves if you do venture out at those times in those places.
• Use mosquito repellant if you have it.

Symptoms of Dengue include sudden-onset fever, headache, mouth and nose bleeding, muscle and joint pains, vomiting, rash, and diarrhea. For more info on Dengue Fever, click here or here.

So with all the internet issues going around and with Paul saying it's a router issue and your ethernet not working, there might be a simple fix if you are a pc user. If you're getting an error that says anything about contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for a Domain Name Server (DNS) issue, do the following, and you should be fine. (Even if you're not sure if you have a DNS issue, you can just do this to cover all bases since it won't affect anything. Worst case scenario, it won't fix your internet issue).

1. Turn off your wi-fi, and plug in your ethernet cable
2. Go to the Start Menu > Accessories > Command Prompt
3. Input "ipconfig /release" (no quotation marks)
   
4. Then input "ipconfig /renew"
5. Input "ipconfig /flushdns"
6. Input "ipconfig /registerdns"
7. Test your internet connection

Hopefully this solves your problem. If not, your issue may be something else. Props go to Carlos for helping me out with this. Good Luck!
