    Spent yesterday in the library, and thats not right, Saturdays are supposed to be spent on the couch watching copious amounts of sport, not in the library trying to do work!!!

    Today wasnt much better either, although at least I got an assignment completed, so that was a plus, also it wasnt raining today!

    When you have an essay due on a Monday or a Tuesday (after a bank holiday).

    That is all.

    Is anyone else unable to access the UL email? It keeps telling me my username/password is wrong but when I tried to sign in to Online Student Records it was fine. Anyone any idea?

    Thank God. Well not really because I *really* need to get an essay title but my housemates told me they had no problems and I was starting to have visions of my account being hacked. I haven't used a computer on campus in weeks though so it has to be a fault, and one that needs to be sorted pretty quickly if you don't mind me saying.

    Printers the other week, email this week. Does anything in UL work?

    It seems as though anything based around active directory username and password isn't working...Your main ul login that is

    Sulis aint working either:(

    Well once I'm not the only one I don't care. I'll contact ITD in the morning if it doesn't fix itself.

    I went to the effort of queuing for a pc in the library today, apparently my password had 'expired' so I had to set a new one with numbers in it. Was happening a good few people, and the problem can't be fixed from a laptop. Load of bollocks.

    Anyone that's not a first year (possibly excluding second years also) has to migrate to a complex password.

    Meaining your password must now contain 3 of

    1. Uppercase letter
    2. Lowercase letter
    3. Non alphanumeric character
    4. Number

    This affects anyone with an ID number below 07 at least.

    No of course it can't you need to be on a machine that is part of the UL domain to change your password. Your laptop can avail of network services it's just not joined to the UL doing hence you can't make any changes to your account in the Active Directory.

    No it hasn't changed it has expired you need to go and sit at a machine in college and change your password.

    Thats a bit stupid because I'm away on coop at the moment but still need access to my e-mail to arrange coop visits etc. Any way I can do it without physically going into the college?

    Not sure to be honest, I can change my domain password here at work remotely but UL may not have that set up. Do you know anyone in the college at the moment, ask them to do it for you perhaps? Of course that means you have to trust a person with your password....which may or may not be doable for you.

    Yes, its completely ridiculous, and for those of you on co-op and unable to access it, god knows what emails you could be missing!! But as Rory says again:

    The only problem I have is that they NEVER TOLD US!!!

    I cant fathom how they expect students to read minds! No advance warning, nothing! :confused:

    I actually dont know why I'm so surprised, seeing as UL is reknowned for cocking up. :(

    Apparently you can change your password from your laptop. Not sure if you have to be connected to the UL network though or if you can do it from off campus

    Clicky:

    https://outside.ul.ie/PasswordReset

    EDIT: Just tried it there from an off-campus connection and it seemed to work fine. Should sort out any co-opers. Obviously not just for laptops either etc.

    No, I don't want to a Ford Fiesta.
    No, I don't want to live in Curagh Birin or wherever with two postgrads.

    Not sure about that fountain but don't jump into the fountain in front of the Schuman. It's all slimy and very cold at this time of year.

    Why dont lecturers put the notes up in time!!

    My lecturer from 4-6 on Thursdays only puts the notes up on a Thursday, and due to other lectures being on, its impossible to get them in time :(

    And today as well, I've a lecture in 2 hours, (a tutorial in 1 hour) and the notes still arent on the public folders! How does he expect students to be prepared :mad:

    For lecturing 4th years, you'd expect them to be prepared!!
