Wifi & printing
Sorry no posts for the last week, when it rains, wifi goes awol. (When it rains, often the electricity goes awol too.)
Why that matters is that I can only print handouts for the students if I email them to GADHOH and they print them. No wifi, no email, no handouts.
I would of course use my USB drives, except GADHOH computers are so old and cranky that they won't read data sticks, at all, not even with cajoling. And I can't use the hard drive I brought over because formatted for the Mac laptops.
We had a brief wifi window mid week, emailed with joy, and GADHOH ran out of printer ink, so couldn't print them.
Ink finally arrived Friday, so handouts for discussions at the end of previous week get given to students a week later.
Then there's also the stealth wifi. That's when wifi shows on the computer, and so you email, and nothing happens. Sometimes the wifi eats your email, and sometimes it appears at the other end when wifi reconnects.
I don't promise never to moan at slow UK wifi speeds ever again, but it might take me a while.
