Official bitch about daily life in UL

Dromroe. Browsing speed is fine, but downloading from iTunes is interminable the last week or so, and I was trying to get some audio clips from audioblocks for a project I'm working on and the bloody pages are taking like 40 seconds to load.


First world problems. :P

The horrors!

If you go onto speedtest.net and screenshot the result and send it to me I can use it to show him how laggy/slow the connection is.

So coming back from college today I had just gotten on my bike when the front brakes locked an threw me over the handlebars. My poor knee is all swollen and sore. A nice man helped me up though

Just me, or is the wired internet gone to sh*te lately?

I'm not on campus, but Brookfield are throttling the hell out of me atm.
It's funny to do a speedtest at 11.59pm and get 0.5mb download, then do one again at 12:01 and get 10mb down. Everyday from 6pm - 12am.
I did download a huge amount a few weeks back so I sort of deserved it, but they should have let up on it by now..

Last night I was getting 3 down, 5 up...

This morning...




YOU WORK FAST iLaura!

While this has absolutely nothing to do about bitching in UL, this is probably the most visited thread. There's a new link for Cite it Right, and it is so much more helpful than the pdf version. It can be found here; http://www3.ul.ie/referencing/miniSite/bookEdited.htm

Has this link stopped working for anyone else?

Whatever about me only using a whole carton of my own milk on a handful of occasions this year, eating nearly the entire jar of nutella and leaving the near empty one back into my cupboard is not cool!

How have you not murdered them by mow?!! Have you ever said anything about the amount of your food that they eat?

Should be super passive aggressive :P

Fellow housemates,

I've noticed some stuff of mine going missing throughout the year but today I'm afraid was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Therefore, if all my items that have been stole from me throughout the year aren't returned in full, either the items or their equivalent in cash, then I'm going to start putting horse tranquilizers in various food items in the fridge.
If after 3 days I still haven't got my items back, I'm going to start setting fire to peoples rooms at random.

Enjoy your day,

Is it possible to print from your laptop in the library instead of logging onto the computers and print it there? If so, how?

I've one module this semester that is stressing me out so much so I'm just wondering if I fail a module this semester but my QCA is still over 2 do I have to repeat it?

Last semester my QCA was 3.5 so does that mean if I get a QCA of 2.0 or above this semester I've passed and don't need to repeat the module even if I fail it really badly? Or do I just need a QCA of 0.5 to pass the year overall?

I really don't understand how QCA works at all.

If you fail a module, you have to repeat it no matter how well you do in everything else. If you get a D1 or D2, you don't have to repeat it as long as your qca is above 2.0. But if it's an F or worse, you have to repeat it no matter what.

So... The UL site is hacked...

ITD have responded saying that its not their problem, there is no hack and if people want to use the actual UL site they need to use IE5

Music is epic lads in fairness. Shazam can't figure out what it is. Would love to have it as study music. :P
