TUNetwork

It takes me a while to figure out how the internet work in the campus. I have to admit it's very complicated but also very effective. The IT department of the school really did a great job. However, I still have some questions about the network. For example all the data will eventually routed to Ruth Taylor so I suppose the wireless and cable network should be the same local internet. But when I actually played the PC games with my friends, we couldn't find other people in the local network unless all of us access through wireless or cables. That means that the wireless and the cable network is not the same one and they probably have different terminal.

Watch your back!

I choose this place because I have been throwed into it two times already. I used Matte effect first to focus on the fountain then used Holga-ish effect to make it look like a ghost picture. I tried to find a really scary ghost feature but failed. So I end up added this skull sticker into the picture.

Best Tech Tip (6)

In Tuesday's class, Joe Hatch gave us a leature about useful computer informations. I never knew that Cisco Clean Access is so important. It prevents the virus from spreading through the school network. He also told us that Sofos AntiVirus is a very good antivirus software and but it works poorly on my computer. Sofos always has trouble working together with the Norton Security on my computer. I also learned that TU Guest is slower and less safer than TU Secure and If something happens to my computer, I can turn to “Support Services” for help.
Windows and Mac are fully supported in campus. Virus, hardware, software…. Literatelly every thing can slow down your computer.
When you browse, the cookies, history records, etc will accumulate and you need to clean them regularly. CCleaner is a good software to clean those junk files mentioned above. Disk Defragmenter can make all fragment files continuous and help your computer run faster. It just takes forever when you run it the first time. NSS security, a website tests the security level of the browsers. Unfortunately, the firefox I use is not so safe as I expected.

Hey there


My name is Changyi He, but I go by Nader. I come from China. Tennis and soccer are my favorite sports. I am business major and I am not sure about my concentrations yet. I am a big fan of video games and final fantasy is my favorite game. I joined Star Craft 2 team in Trinity last semester. I used to work at the International Relations Office of San Antonio. I am familiar with the Microsoft Office Software such as Words, Excel and Powerpoint. But besides that, all I know about the computer skills are PC games. I like meet strangers and that's why I love couchsurfing.
