    I hate TCDwifi so much right now. Got a new laptop, windows 8, tried to connect and it wouldn't let me until I installed updates, did just that and now when I run the bradford yoke it says I don't have the right programme to run it. Why the actual fuck is this process so awkward? I was in UCD over the summer, wasn't student or staff yet I could connect to the wifi in one click. Here I've just wasted the best part of three hours trying to get online only to have to resort to using my phone

    The only defense I can make of tcd wifi is that it needs some sort of login.
    Reason being because we're in the city centre, you'd have every tom dick and Harry using it, because because it's free.
    It should however just need your student number and a password to log in and none of the rigmarole involved.

    Oh I totally have no problem with the login, I just don't get why trinity needs a system that's such a colossal hassle they need to run clinics to help people use it when it could be as easy as clicking connect and giving a username and password.

    A lot of people on Windows 8 are having problems connecting, but apparently it's very easy to resolve. Go to the reception in Aras an Phiarsaigh and they'll sort it out for you in minutes.

    In fairness anyone who's able to use a computer should be able to connect to the wifi without needing assistance. Only in trinity would they make you jump through 20 hoop first. For christ sake dublin buses wifi registration is better.

    I can't connect to the Wifi cos the security package I bought isn't approved by the system or something. I've given up trying to connect with my laptop and just use the internet on my ipod if I need to look up something when I'm in the library. It's a pain in the arse.

    Last year, I got stuck in an endless frustrating loop trying to connect my laptop - it wouldn't let me connect to the internet until I updated my anti-virus definitions... and I couldn't update my anti-virus definitions until I connected to the internet!

    Definitely wasted several hours of my life sorting out TCD wifi connections over my 4 years in college!

    Just got an email saying I've been assigned my project! No idea how or why, the course co-ordinator must have decided to allocate an extra space or something. So happy.

    The state of the ladies toilets in gym after 6pm on weekdays (particularly Wednesdays for some reason). There's never any tissue left, bins are overflowing, water on the floor... and yet there isn't really a way to complain without sounding like a weirdo!

    I hope they don't.
    Instead of having 500 people smoking spread over 47 acres around the campus, every time I want to go outside the campus I'll have 100 congregated peoples smoke to walk through! :mad:
    Also trinity has a large residential population. What happens to them?
    What happens the tourists who come everyday? They can hardly keep of the grass. I suppose well have security coming along and whipping the cigarettes out of their hands.
    As a non smoker I'd prefer if they left it the same.

    A) Use the goddamn side entrance near the 24 hour reading room if you find it that bad. (Few people use it)

    B) Come on. How long does it take to weave your way through the evil smokers? 5 seconds top.

    C) As above, if they ban it you'll have to do the same through the Nassau street gate.

    D) Your post wasn't a rant, a bitch or a moan. It was a whine.

    My password has suddenly stopped working for blackboard & the TCD wifi. :(
    Perfect timing too, since this weekend is the only time so far I've had an assignment due through blackboard.

    Anyone know why my account would be locked like this? I haven't forgotten my password cos it's the same one I used just yesterday that was working fine.. Guess it's over to ISS on monday morning..

    Has your password expired? It has to be changed every few months, I can't remember how often exactly but I think its roughly every 6 months or so.

    I thought that system had stopped, I've had the same password since summer of 2012 and never been notified to change it like I use to be

    I tried again this morning and it appears to be working now. So a little bit more relaxed, although this is still rant-worthy material as I'd hoped to get all of my work done yesterday!
