IMU ECO FRIENDS' CLUB

Dear all,

Hope you are having a good time.. As you can see, IMU will have a brand new new club soon and it's related to one of the hottest topics of 2010 which is also the main concern for the world right now! The first step is to recruit at least 20 members inclusive of committee members for those who are interested. For now, you can email Isabell Tam Wen Feng (isabelltam@hotmail.com) or Cheong Yee Yi (cyeeyi@hotmail.com) your NAME, ID, BATCH & CONTACT NO to register or if you have queries. The AGM/WELCOMING PARTY is on 3rd February 2010 (wednesday) from 1 - 1.45pm in 3.06 (room opposite library pigeon holes) while lunch is provided to elect committee and disclose all the plans and acitivities. Students can just walk in on that day itself or after the club is formed to register, but we need to have at least 20 confirmed members before AGM starts. Every member (to be involved in commtitee or not) should come to the AGM. We hope by taking this small step, we can create a positive change for mother earth. Small steps go a long way. Thank you for your attention! Have a wonderful day!

P.s. : Please email or check out our event on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?invites&eid=184665204956) to confirm if you are coming best before Monday, 1st Feb 2010.

GO GO GREEN EARTH!!! =)

Paintball Event by SRC

Hey people,

Guess what? We’re having a paintball event!

Realizing that it has been rather quiet lately in IMU, and SRC has been keeping a pretty low profile, we’ve decided to come up with something totally out of the ordinary, hence paintball!

It’s a post-CNY event, the 26th February, which is fortunately a Friday (so you can recuperate during the weekend) . Details are as below:

Date: 26th February, Friday

Time: 7.45am - 5.00pm

Location: Canyon Paintball @ the Club, Bukit Utama.

Last date for RSVP is 19th of February 2010.

Excited yet?

Then you’d better sign up quick with SRC through facebook! Request an invitation at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=260797944447&ref=ts, and you’d better move fast, because the strict cutoff number of people we’re taking is set at 50!

Mask on! Barrel socks off! Game ON!

Cheers,

Alicia,

IT Liaison 09/10.

Dear all,

Some students have informed us that they would like there to be more SRC-Student interaction and thus we have come up with a Dialogue Session!

It will take place in the Atrium, on the 20th of January at 12.30 - 2 PM. There will be lunch provided.

This will be a great chance for students to share their concerns with us and let us know what they like about IMU and what they would like to see improved.

This is also a great chance to find out what your council has been doing for you!

We really hope to see you there.

Warmest regards,

Tentative Good News about Dress Code!‏

Dear all,

Yesterday Nirmal and I were discussing Dress Code with Dr. Mei Ling and the suggestion of dressing in smart casual rather than full-on dress code during study break came up. The only issue she, and the Deans, have on this is how to differentiate which students are on study break and which students are actually having lectures.

So, we came to the conclusion that if there it is peer regulated (as in students make sure that they and their classmates are in dress code when they are not on study break) and that students do stick to dress code then it should be plausible.

What we need to know from all students is if they would agree to this.

Also, smart casual still means no shorts, no flip flops. If you are unsure about the definition here are some links to read up on it:

• Wikipedias definition
• The Stars definition

Please let me know by 1st of February. I have put up a poll on http://imusrc.blogspot.com/ for students to vote on. If you have any other suggestions let us know on the chatbox. :)

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

Additions to the student lounge‏

Dear all,

We are happy to announce that we have managed to get better chairs for the computers in the student lounge.

There are 4 in total.

Please make sure not to misplace them or abuse them.

Also, Dr. Annie Tay very kindly donated a DVD player for the student lounge.

Please do make sure that you do not watch anything obscene with it and that you do not remove the dvd player from where it has been placed.

Also, there is no remote for this player, so you just have to press play manually.

A quick printer tutorial by the IT Liaison‏

Dear all,

Here is a tutorial writter by our IT Liaison Alicia on how to use the printers. You can also find it at her blog page.

A How-To Guide to Printing on the new Ricohs.

Merely wanted to post up a written guide on how to print using the new printers as it's easy to get lost if you aren't too sure :(.

You would first need to get your pin, if you haven't efficiently already done so at HelpDesk on the third floor, left of the escalator. Miss Aarthi is the person in charge, and she is the only one who has the right to generate your six-digit pin, so if there's a congestion, please bear with us.

The second thing you need is paper and a computer within one of the ELLs.

After you've decided what to print, click Print (take note of the printer as well; if it's not the Ricoh printer for the ELLs, then your print job will not be received). You would see a window popping up asking for your username and password, both which are your Student ID number. Type them both out and hit Enter. If you would like to see/make sure that your print job is sent, you can look for Start Menu > Ringdale > Client Administration. Under the Print Jobs tab, you should be able to see your print job.

Next, get up from chair and move towards printer with your papers, and insert papers into the topmost Tray 1. Gently push it back, to avoid its internals from breaking.

After, ensure printer is on (the On button is on your top right), and that the Printer button on your left has a lighted up LED.

Enter pin number (eg 123456) onto the black box on printer (not the printer itself) and press #. If the pin works, there are two beeps. If it does not, three beeps will sound.

Warmest regards,

Zia Shah

A change of plans

Juniors(p110) can see the Mentor-mentee list on 19th January 2010 after 1pm. It will be posted on the P109 notice board.

Outsourcing of Printers update‏

Dear all,

Here is a message from our friendly IT Liaison Alicia, which you can also find on her blog page at http://imusrcit.blogspot.com/.

Happy New Year, all!

Printers!
The print outsourcing has been up and running since last 7th December. If you haven't got your pin for the account yet, which is customized for every student, and you missed the dates to get it, you could always get it from the HelpDesk on the third floor, to the left of the escalator.

You would require that pin each time to log onto the printer itself to print. As our printers are linked up, students would be able to print from different learning labs, even if they've sent their print jobs from another learning lab. This would be really awesome if students on a deadline find themselves caught in a congestion of other people trying to print in one lab; they could always run over to another lab and print directly from the printer itself, eliminating the need to log onto the network and send the print job again.

Also, the earlier print rates are now incorrect, as they've been lowered to 8.5 sen per black and white page.

*
Welfare Meeting
During our Welfare Meeting back in November, I did attempt to bring up getting a number of FinePrint licenses for several of our computers. However, the notion was turned down as it tends to consume much memory, which would then jam up the next print jobs, as well as the fact that it is really too expensive at its USD$60.00 price, which would translate into at least RM200 per license, especially when the outsourcing company is already providing the drivers as part of the agreement.

Hence, the current system will stick to the Ricoh drivers provided by the outsourcing company.

*
Just a casual reminder to students; -

Do remember to scan your USB drives that are plugged in and out of IMU computers (regardless of location of computer) and your own personal/other computers, prior and post-usage. Even when we still conduct sweeps monthly to clean off the viruses and trojans, a major number of infections still crop up due to external inputs.

Despite it being a bit of a so-called chore, it is a habit that should be exercised by students adult enough to take initiative in preventing things they don't want to happen.

Hoping everyone had a very good New Year celebration, and a blessed year of advancement ahead!

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
