Network Diagram

Seeing how our network here at Trinity was run amazed me, and it was cool to see how many different things go into it. It was funny seeing things we commonly use here such as T-learn, in a little metal box run by wires. The tour opened up my eyes to another side of Trinity's technical world.

Joe Hatch Speech

The insight provided by Joe Hatch helped clarify how the network at trinity works, he even showed me things I didn't know about topics I have already covered such as the Y drive. Ccleaner was my favorite topic, as it is an easy way to rid unneeded things from your computer every time you log on. I wish that Mac's had a similar device.

It's hard to believe how many people that are out there who can access personal information with such ease, this was the most startling of topics presented by Joe Hatch. Ways around this were also given by Joe, but unfortunately even the expert expressed how difficult it is to be safe. It made me hope for a better technical future and created a new desire for the end of such offenders.

CSCI 1300 Blog

I preferred the blogs of the two baseball players in the class, Tanner Barron and Kevin Clements. This is because baseball was once the sport I revered, and reading their blogs reminded me much of my own, as it is short. I honestly chose to comment on Abigail Talley's blog because I almost skipped her secret fact. When I first opened her link the blog was empty, but I just had to use another link; a good reason for a comment.

I am from San Antonio Texas and my name is Nicholas Steffen, but I prefer to be called Nick. I have lived here since the age of 3 and lived in Kansas before that, which is the location of the basement that once terrified me.

I went to highschool at Sandra Day O'Connor. The basic training of the public school sytem is as far as my computer savvy senses stretch, but video games have somewhat aided this disability. It is the academics however that led me towards the boundaries of Trinity, despite going here to play football. My plan is recieve my BA, through Finance. My fondness for numbers and financial subjects was brought through the experiences my step-dad relived to me of his days on wall street. The variety of people I have met while at Trinity is astonishing, as each person I meet has a wildely different story from my own.
