any idea how to connect to the wired internet in the library? i've plugged in the cable but nothings happening

Sometimes I find turning off your wireless while you plug in helps, so it stops trying to connect to the WiFi which is temperamental at best.

edit: and yes, finding a cable that hasn't had the hooks snapped off by the more ham-fisted library patrons is important

And if none of that works, go to:

Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Centre > Manage Adapter Settings

and make sure your Local Area Adapter is enabled.

Are you getting anything from the cable at all? There was a period a few years ago when instead of "Network // Internet Access" coming up in my System Tray I was getting "Network 2 // No Internet Access". So if that's what's coming up, post back. There's a long and convoluted way to try and fix it, but I won't waste time typing it if it's just a dodgy cable. :P

I know with my laptop the wireless overrides a wired connection. That was a bit of an embarrassment half an hour later.

Masters Thesis printed and submitted, woo! No more staying in the library til 11 having to listen "DUNFAR AN LEABHERLANN I GCEANN CUIG NOIMEAD DEAG..." and having to see the loudest person in the building, that security guy who has a perpetual puss on him like someone pissed in his cornflakes every morning, doing his rounds loudly shushing or standing over everyone who makes even the slightest sound.

DONT YOU CHEEK ME

So sleepy.:( Why don't they have areas where people who commute where you can go sleep? The library is no good and I feel like everyone else is looking at me!:pac:

I submitted a cover letter for a coop placement I was only half interested in...

According to the noticeboard I'm the only one going for it...

This is not good... $:\$

Since when did the medical centre only give out medical certs on the day you're sick?! By the time I could get out of bed on Monday, it was shut... Yesterday, I had a full day so couldn't get going so I went today as soon as I got a break, only to be told I can't get one. So that's marks for two lab reports and attendance marks down the drain

Also, don't like the serious decline in the amount of equine books in the library. We went from having a row and a corner to two tiny corners, barely a book per module...

Can see it being hard to guess who was genuinely sick before they could be seen and who is chancing their arm. Have a chat with your lecturer and explain, nothing to lose by doing so anyways

I used to commute, and used constantly ask for the same thing. Think it would be class.

I know! Forget about building a bloody nightclub on campus, build a kind of (what do they call it in hospitals again? Can only think of Scrubs!) On-call room, is that it? That's want we need!

Think I'm getting a cold. I do not need this. Also, it is too cold outside. They should also supply hot chocolate and blankets to everyone in the library when it is this cold!

Lovely and sunny outside

Too warm!

Seriously, being forced into wearing a tie in this weather is cruel and unusual punishment!

I don't like hot tea... I can't imagine making it cold will make it better. :pac:

1 interview down, 1 to go, then I can ditch this getup for a more subdued t-shirt and jeans.

Best of luck with the interviews man

Gluck buddy, remember to unbutton shirt and roll up sleeves for one you don't want, and turn every question they ask you to how their family's doing.. :P

Precious flower · 10-10-2013 04:44PM

It was way too warm in the library! How am I supposed to study when I feel like I'm melting! :P Also found a purse in the toilets second floor of the library so I handed it to one of the staff. Wasn't sure whether to just leave it or not in case the person would go back to where they had it last but I felt like I couldn't leave it there. Thankfully checked later on and they told me they'd sent out an email so hopefully she'll see it and collect it!

Another email eh... >=[
Lucky I'm in the right thread... :P

Some fcking idiots driving around Groody beeping horn, music up to max, then parked up and got out... Standing outside shouting to each other now, feet from my window... Honestly think gate should be locked and members with cars given gate keys, you can walk to the gate for the taxis...
Ridiculous...

brucechan · 10-10-2013 06:40PM

probably the same gob sh1tes kicking over wheelie bins in Elm Park the other night, and their "friends" laughing at them. can't understand that.

Agree whole-heartedly. I remember one day in 1st year (think it was LIT rag week), I couldn't get home for a few hours, I was feeling so sick and tired, I was at my friend's house where it was too cold to sleep...... I went to the library, sat down on one of the comfy seats and put a newspaper over my head. Couldn't actually go to sleep, felt really self-conscious :P

A dark, quiet room to sleep in would be the best investment this university ever made.

wnolan1992 · 10-10-2013 10:29PM

Hmmm... Would you guys be willing to pay for such a room? Say a few euro?

I could get some blackout blinds and ye could nap on the couches in my house in Dromroe...

I have a house now... but I definitely would have been willing to pay back in the day

Although... if a randomer came up to me saying that I could go back to their house and sleep in a darkened room in their house during the day for a small fee..... I'm not sure I'd have accepted. :pac:

3rd interview in 2 days this morning...

Not even I can delude myself into thinking I'm qualified for this one...

I don't even get why I was called for interview when they specifically request something that I made no mention of on my CV...

Oh, and cheers for the best wishes guys.
