My Trinity Network Diagram

I hope this helps everyone become aquainted with the way the cyber system works around Trinity. Happy computing!

The X Factor

In class on Thursday, I was enlightened by Joe Hatch - Senior Analyst in the computer user support area for Trinity University - about the dangers of the internet and how to safeguard my computer from cyber attacks. The lecture covered information ranging from hackers to cookies taking up room on my hard drive.

Through his discussion, I began to evaluate my own computer usage and decide how to best integrate his advice into my digital ventures. In my opinion, the most hopeful tidbit of advice Mr. Hatch gave was in regards to how to fix slow computer performance easily, quickly, and on your own. He suggested that Mac users refer to the website: theXlab.com to clean out their computers. The site also functions as a guide to troubleshoot and fix problems.

Computers, Cakes, and Snowboarding, OH MY!

Elizabeth Vick blogging about her affinity for cakes made me wonder if I would have excelled in culinary school....hmm... one of these nights, we will need to have a watching/cooking/decorating marathon. Perhaps a cake in the shape of a computer to be reminiscent of the class in which we met? Meanwhile, Alex Holmes caused me to have a mixed emotion of jealously and shame. The fact that I have no athletic talent whatsoever in any sport involving snow (when I come from one of the most widely visited slopes in the nation) makes me sad. Although, I am quite impressed with his acquired skill. (.....And maybe I am a wee bit wishful that I can become him someday.)

How Very Nice To Meet You

Hey ya'll. I'm Larissa Lozano and I came to San Antonio from the Land of Enchantment - New Mexico. Specifically, Albuquerque.

Academically, I'm a Psychology major and I'm hoping to round that out by double majoring with Spanish and minoring in Political Science. On campus, I am a member of Phi Alpha Delta: the Pre-law co-ed fraternity. I also mentor a fifth grader named Miguel at Lamar Elementary.

Outside of school, I love to relax by hanging out with friends and when I go home, my family. I absolutely love photography, traveling and dancing. Speaking of, my secret fact is that I started dancing when I was four and a half, and for the subsequent twelve years, I was part of three performing troupes (at separate times). I have a tremendous love for the stage - being on it and attending productions.

I'd like to think that I'm very computer savvy, but in reality, my beliefs are false hopes. I was on Yearbook Staff in high school, and my job was to place pictures in layouts. At the end of the year, I designed several senior pages for my friends (a page that each senior gets to customize to represent themselves that go in the back of all the books) using Photoshop and InDesign. However, I probably forgot everything, seeing as I was positive that I would pass the Computer test, and well, I failed. I can navigate the internet fairly well, but I'm excited to learn and hopefully remember how to do a lot of new things on the computer.

I guess thats all for now,

Au revoir!
