And without sounding like a total nerd, check out your course's exam papers early on and see what to expect in the summer. The more exam papers you do during the year, the better you'll do in the summer exams.

before anyone asks you'll have to wait 'till registration to get your username and password. well your username can be found by typing your name into the people finder your username will be the bit before the "@" in your email address http://peoplefinder.tcd.ie/pls/peoplefinder/telephone_system_pub.PEOPLE_FINDER.main

Thats a great way to find one's username Kappar - how do you get the password though?

No sorry, it'll be something crazy like "thiua6Ku" so there's no guessing it.

yawnstretch

oh, ok - interesting anyway!

Chick

can you change your password, to something you'll actually remember?

Kappar

you can - http://isservices.tcd.ie/policies/security/setpass.html#top

a mate of mine had to change his password after another mate put some pretty graphic porno up as his wallpaper when he logged on to a Mac

Groovy! Never knew that. Is it a new thing? I asked IS services about this a couple years back and they told me to **** off

Kappar

I don't now how new it is but I know you could do it last year. But don't forget you have to change it for all 3 i.e. web proxy, email and login

Triceradon sorry for cluttering up the thread again perhaps you could take all the links form this thread and post it yourself

Nietzschean

Yeah i'll clean it all up later.....

As for the pw thing, generally they arn't eager to tell freshers about the ability to change passwords cause they would all change them to stupid things easily guessed. Your better off to just learn your new password, much safer. Ideally you should be changing ur password every few weeks/mts to another new obscure thing to learn.....but i doubt many of u's will be doing that...

Oh, and if you want a locker, you better come in really early on the first day of term (first week of lectures), i.e. around 6AM and queue in the Arts Building (Nassau St.).

Does anyone know where we were supposed to give back our locker keys from last year? I went away straight after the exams and never got a chance to hand it in. Only just remembered bout it after reading that- is there any point giving it back now, I know I wont get deposit back, or....???

Nietzschean

actually now that u bring it up one of my m8's did it today, somewhere in the arts block, security there should be able to tell ye...

Nietzschean

I've done the first part of the new links thread, i'll the rest of the links from this/discussion thread in tomorrow.

Quick question about the locker thing: are the keys transferable? for instance my sister who's now a graduate has hers and is handing it in soon enough, would it be possible to transfer it to me before she gives it up?

ApeXaviour

Nope buddy you have to reapply for one. Some are reserved I know. Just ask in the arts block what day to get them and go really early for the choice ones. It's a yearly ritual now for me and a mate of mine. We meet up in Lucan village and catch the bus while it's still dark...

Crash

heheh well it was worth a shot. would've saved me time if i could've pulled it off well first bus it is then

Nietzschean

ye wanna just go out on the lash the nite before and wander around town until they let ye in........proper way to do it...
Ye ever think thats its kinda ironic, people who live closer to town would have it much easier to get in for 6 but they are the very people who don't need to?...its kinda just one of those torture the people living far away days

sleepingbeauty

Thanks Triceradon I'll wander the arts block so..... I was one of those people that was torured last year, I didnt even know it was humanly possibly to get up that damn early But moving up to dub this year thank god! The lockers are definitely worth getting up early for though...

Nietzschean

ye just get 10 of ye's together n get the one who lives closest to go in and pick up all the sheets......don't even need to pay fer em, sheet guarantees u the locker if i recall
