Hello Greeners,
We have made some changes in The Computer Center that I want to inform you about. Firstly we are back on our academic schedule, which is:
Sunday 12pm to 12am
Monday – Thursday 7am to 12am
Friday – 7am to 10pm
Saturday 9am to 10pm
Secondly, we have been busy upgrading our aging Windows PCs on the general floor. I am grateful to all of you who have been patient with the (lack of) speed of our older equipment. We now have Intel dual core PCs installed with widescreen Dell monitors at every PC post on the main floor. We have installed solid state hard drives at most PCs on the general floor which have dramatically reduced login time.
Finally, there is now a page limit set in our lab. The Go Print screen will report large jobs “over limit” but we are happy to help push those jobs through so long as they are academically relevant. Please see us at the front desk is you have any issues printing your academic work.
Have a wonderful Fall Quarter!

For those of you who don’t know (or don’t care) what Linux is, you should. … 
For some of us, acquiring a new gadget is common practice, and for others it’s a rare delight. Over the past winter break I was lucky enough to receive a shiny new iPad Mini. Being a science student at Evergreen, I’m required to posses a fair level of organization and information retention. I hoped that being able to take notes in a digital fashion … 
From the get-go, the makers of Twitter knew that the website’s data would be too big to process, organize, and condense into digestible comprehensive information. So early on, they decided to adopt hashtags in order to categorize tweets quickly. Now when you tweet, it is organized into topics, and any topics with tons of tweets are obvious trends. Simple. Tweetping does something else with … 
Campus wikis are in the process of being updated to the latest version of Mediawiki 1.20. In addition to the updated version, we are now using a more mobile friendly theme. To see what the new wikis look like, check out the updated version of Evergreen’s Help Wiki. In addition to the theme changes, perhaps […]
