Some pages designed to help students become familiar with OpenWetWare.

What to do if there is a OpenWetWare outage

We recommend that when doing your journal assignments, "save early, save often". That is, work in short increments, saving your work in small pieces. This will help you avoid losing your work if there is an issue with the internet.
We also recommend that you begin your assignments well ahead of the deadline so that you have enough time to complete them on the wiki.
While we do not anticipate any problems, in the event of an OpenWetWare outage near a deadline, please do the following:
- send an e-mail to both instructors notifying us of the outage, attaching a screenshot documenting the problem;
- complete the unfinished portion of the assignment as a Word document and e-mail it to both instructors. Even though you are saving it as a Word document, write it in wiki syntax so that it can be saved back to the wiki when it becomes available again.

Please feel free to add any tips and tricks you have learned so the whole class can benefit from your knowledge.

To take a screen shot, press Alt and Print Scrn together. The contents of the active window will be saved on your clipboard. You may then paste into a graphics program (like Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft PowerPoint) and save the file.
- Note that pressing the Alt takes screenshot of the active window (the one on top) only. If you just press Print Scrn, it will take a screenshot of the entire Desktop.

The Windows 7 operating systems defaults to hiding file extensions. To turn them back on, do the following:
Folder Options window
1. Go to the Start menu and select "Control Panel".
2. In the window that appears, search for "Folder Options" in the search field in the upper right hand corner.
3. Click on "Folder Options" in the main window.
4. When the Folder Options window appears, click on the View tab.
5. Uncheck the box for "Hide extensions for known file types".
6. Click the OK button.
The computers in Seaver 120 are are set to erase all custom user settings and restore the defaults once they have been restarted, so you will probably have to do this many times throughout the semester when using these computers.
