Trinity Network Diagram

The Trinity Network uses Ethernet cables and fiber optic cables to keep it running efficiently. Students are able to connect wirelessly anywhere on campus. Trinity has a great system that is able to keep the students and faculty pleased with the way it functions. A firewall and security help to keep its users safe from hackers and the back up equipment prevents lost information.

Trinity Mystery Spot

I chose this spot for the "Trinity Mystery Spot" project because I see it on a regular basis. Usually I find other students studying or working here. It most likely recognizable to the Freshman living in Herndon or Beze, but others should recognize it as well. It is a popular place for students who are tired of being inside their dorm rooms.

First, I changed the saturation, contrast, and exposure to alter the photograph so the location of the photograph wouldn't be given away so quickly. Then I used a posterize and soften effect to make it less recognizable. Finally, I added a few bird and text to the picture.

Best Tech Tip

Yesterday Joe Hatch came into our class to share a few computer "Survival Skills" with us. He gave us numerous tips on how to deal with computer issues and important things we should know. Joe Hatch explained various causes of slowed computer performance. I had thought that it was the network and not my computer. However, Joe Hatch shared with us a couple programs to help clean out unneeded documents and files from out computer that also help to keep us safe from hackers and viruses. CCleaner can be used for windows and Onyx for Mac's. By deleting these files our computer will perform more to our liking. I thought that this information was the best tech tip from Joe Hatch.

Network Server Diagram

This is a diagram of the Trinity Network server. It works well for students and teachers because there is room for both to have their own files as well as a place in which they can share files.

Introduction

My name is Alison Buck, but to my family and hometown friends I'm Nina. I will answer to both names and have no preference.
Most of the children in my family were born in Houston, Texas, but shortly after I was born, we moved to Boerne. I have three older brothers. Clint is twenty-six and attended Austin College in Sherman and is now at law school at Texas Tech. Josh is twenty-one and my parents adopted him when he was a baby. He is still living with them and taking online classes with the University of Phoenix. Willie is twenty and is currently at Southern Methodist University, but he will be transferring in the fall. My mother is a pediatrician and my dad works at a bank. I get along well with each of my brothers and my parents even though we are all vastly different.I enjoy spending time with my family and I see them often.

I am undecided as to what I will major in. However, art, art history, sociology, and psychology interest me. I have considered being an art therapist in the future. I have yet to join a group on campus. I do not plan on joining a sorority, but I am in the process of finding another group that is interesting to me.
None of my high school friends came to Trinity University, but I have continued a relationship with my boyfriend, Austin, who is going to school at UTSA. I enjoy art, reading, music, cooking, and the outdoors.
When it comes to computers I manage fairly well. I took a computer technology class, a BIMM class, and a BCIS class in high school as well as a digital photography class in which we used photoshop often. I have since forgotten much of what I learned, but with reminders I should remember some of it. Microsoft Excel will likely pose most of the problems I encounter.
