My Trinity Network Diagram (all you will ever need to do anything you want on the internet)

Here is a diagram of how the internet works at Trinity University. I created it based off information that I got during a tour in Computer Technology Class. The tour was very interesting and seeing the actual objects (servers, wires and all) that made connecting to the internet at Trinity possible was really eye opening. One never thinks about how the internet works or why accessing the school drives is so easy and pain free but there is actually quite a bit (understatement of the year) behind it. I was very fortunate to be a part of the tour and by diagraming it all out I feel that I have a much better understanding of how we connect to the internet.

Sincerely,

Your blogger bro,

Travis' Top Tech Tip

Hello there fellow computer users! After listening to Joe Hatch talk to our class about computers I thought about all of the information he told us and I have decided that his tip about cleaning Macs with Thexlab will be the most useful longterm. I didn't know about Thexlab until he spoke to us about it and the though of cleaning my computer is quite excited as it has gotten rather slow recently! Thexlab is a website that cleans out your Mac's data sectors which will increase the startup speed of your applications and increase overall performance. While there is no particular software that cleans a Mac's cache, it is a good idea to go into your browsers menu and clean the cache yourself (there will usually be a button that erases it all) as this can free up quite a bit of space. So Mac users, remember to try out Thexlab, it will get rid of your computer's excess flab!
Sincerely,
Your main Mac (get it... its a play on man... Hilarious, I know)
Travis Halff

Hello, lets be friends!

Well hello there, my name is Travis Halff and I am from San Antonio, Texas. I was born January 21, 1991 and my email is thalff@trinity.edu . I went to Saint Mary’s Hall high school here in town and applied Early Decision to the University of Richmond. I went to the University of Richmond for a week, however I had to come back to San Antonio because I was having problems with my medical equipment. What medical equipment? Well now that I have drawn you in, I have Type 1 diabetes. I have had the disease since I was nine years old and have learned how to manage it over the years.

I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend Lauren, who goes to NYU, and we have been dating nearly 13 months. Other than spending time with my girlfriend, I enjoy playing tennis and basketball and am currently learning how to fence. I hope to one-day fence with swords similar to the ones used in James Bond (they electrocute you upon contact). I have a fondness for Gossip Girl and plan to model much of my adult life after that of Chuck Bass.

I’ve always been interested in computers and do not have many problems working with them. I am very interested in graphic design and was very glad to hear that it was the concentration of this class. I was in digital photography for three years at SMH and worked with Photoshop on a daily basis. I am not terribly familiar with Excel and I believe that I will have the most trouble with that. While I have not worked with Photoshop in over a year I am fairly confident that after I use it for a day or two I will be back to where I was.
