A reminder to those who don’t know: Evaluations MUST be printed out single-sided, or Registration will not accept them. On that same note, for the first time in a few years, we are not disabling double-sided printing at the Computer Center during Week 10 and Evaluation Week. This means that you will have to make sure to print them single-sided on your own. This is also true if your faculty require final papers to be printed single-sided. The reason? Evergreen’s continued effort to make reduce paper waste. If we can print the evaluations carefully, we can avoid wasting paper on all the other print jobs that don’t need to be single-sided. With a forum as open and universal as the internet, it’s always important to make sure that your information is as secure as you want it to be. The ever-popular Facebook recently changed its default privacy settings to make more information open and accessible. Take a look at this New York Times article on the subject, or check around your privacy settings yourself. A few minutes now could save a lot of headaches later. Trying to print, but the screen is telling you to “Load tray 1?” Just press the green button with the check-mark on it twice, and it will print your job for you. A planned update to improve the campus network will take place Monday February 15 (Presidents Day) between 7am and 5pm. Throughout the day, campus network resources may be unavailable for short periods of time. These resources could include my.evergreen.edu, moodle, blogs, network fileshares or other common applications. If you experience problems connecting, be aware that these outages should be relatively short and retry in 10-15 minutes. Thanks in advance for your patience. For those of you who haven’t already noticed, we have a new consultant stationed between post eleven and post twelve who is available to help with computing questions. If the printers are being troublesome, the consultant here will be first to respond. Now, if you are sitting near the back of the Computer Center, you don’t have to walk all of the way to the front desk for help. We’re still trying it out, and working out some kinks, so please talk to us at the front desk, or better yet, the new station, if you have any questions or comments. …In Observance of Presidents’ Day.
