Stine and why I hate my uni.
Stine is our shiny new system that's supposed to deal with the applications for our courses. E-Learning and all that. The problem with my university and E-Learning is that most of the staff think the photocopier is the most modern invention they can accommodate, so you can imagine how well this kind of thing has been received so far. It does not work and causes havoc, apart from a few faculties, most of the uni just aren't ready for this kind of thing. I hate Stine.
Why?
They sent me a password that does not work.
IT DOES NOT WORK.
At all. Not possible to log in, even though it should be, according to the material they sent me, from "October 2006".
Which means that either the user name (which for reasons best known to my uni is not simply my matric number but some... code thingy) is wrong or the password (which some idiot decided to type out in Arial, anyway, which means that it's anyone's guess what this "I" is. i? L? Who knows? It's pretty much up to me. I'm only hoping that the "0" thing is indeed a "0" and not a slim "O". Nah, it's a "0". Other than that... I had about 10 goes at it. Without result.) I sent a mail to what I can only hope is the right address, because of course there is no kind of support other than the slightly better informed IT students standing around on Campus who I will pester tomorrow. I already feel sorry for them.
