I use my iPad exclusively at Uni - it's great for lecture notes (instead of printing them A4) and for taking notes in other lectures - the onscreen keyboard is perfectly useable for that once you get used to it. The battery easily lasts all day, it has 3G for when uniwide doesn't work (again)...

I tried out the Windows 8 preview - it's totally jarring going between Metro and the normal desktop. They need to get that worked out - and Metro kinda works with keyboard and mouse, but it would be a total pain having to use it all the time, I think.

I love my iPad 2 - it's super handy in uni lectures to have the slides/lecture notes/questions on, as well as obviously being there to quickly look something up, etc. I don't plan to upgrade to the new model yet - I'll probably get the next model though.

OK, I didn't know that... thanks.

Well, looks like you're stuck with Optus regardless... but in my experience living on the mid-north coast and now in Sydney, Telstra has a significantly better network than Optus - both in coverage and speed. In metro Sydney you should get 2100MHz 3G with Telstra if you go that way - but of...

PHYS1111/1149 was boring as hell. MATH1031 was actually interesting.

Changing one tute involves 'swapping' the course you want to change for the same one, then manually choosing the lectures/tutes you want to attend.

Sorry, I don't have Office 11 so can't try it out -- but I can't imagine it'd be much different to set up. I've found that if you fill in the email address field with your 'name' address (e.g. a.b.surname@student.unsw.edu.au) it will let you send emails from that address instead of the z1234567...

I finally got around to starting the Steve Jobs biography (hardcover). In between that, I'm reading some assorted Agatha Christie on my Kindle.

SSDs are expensive, but 100% worth it. I installed one in my laptop about a year ago; once you use an SSD you won't go back to magnetic media.

A roundabout is the same as any other road. You can change lanes wherever you want as long as those (longer or otherwise) broken lines exist (in NSW, at least) - there is a Road Rule relating to indicating when changing lanes in a roundabout, thus is is evidently legal to change lanes:

https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/atoz/ELISE.html Just searched for 'elise' in myUNSW. The quiz itself doesn't seem to exist in Blackboard.

No particular order: Spooks Life On Mars Ashes to Ashes (sadly all three of these have now finished) Hustle Top Gear Doctor Who (2005) Suits Ice Pilots NWT I have all of each of the above in my iTunes, except Ice Pilots (the torrents' quality is far too shit to bother keeping).

1. Open Settings > Mail, contacts, calendars and hit 'Add Account', then Exchange. 2. Fill in both the email address AND username field with your address in the format: z1234567@zmail.unsw.edu.au 3. Your password is NOT your zpass. Go to zmail.unsw.edu.au/getpass and enter your zpass...

Two highest ATARs at my school are both still on their Ls...

Spent a couple of hours playing with it this morning, finally got zMail working properly on my Mac and iPhone/iPad. Does anyone know if there's a way to have the sent-from address be your first.last@student.unsw.edu.au instead of z1234567@zmail.unsw.ed.au?
