Exampaper access for 2008 students

[bilgia]

An exam papers drive was setup prior to the exams this year and hosted on the GMail drive; which most of us know of already (if you don't then look it up on google). However recently it stopped working (kept giving some error). This was because there was an update that was needed for the software...
so if you are looking for a download mirror here it is:

I HAVE GREAT NEWS '08ERS THE PASSWORD HAS BEEN RESTORED BACK TO OLD ONE

No-one will ever redistribute the password again, I can't manage another loss of an useful resource.

Nobody told me about it until after exams were over

oh god... i must be so behind time it is unquestionably sad...
*genuinely asking upon the condition of my untimely death*
well, u no wat i want to ask and i know u'll say no, but still....

[elaine]

what is the email drive and how does it work?

[Mao]

well... so much for us 08'ers... still in the dark...

just a nudge at it again... we're not going to be that stupid to give that password away, right? PM us if u have to, or create a mailing list...

please...? c'mon!!!!

[bilgia]

like i said...google the software : GMail drive for more information.
its basically a folder which can be accessed from my computer (like your normal C: drive) when you install it go to my computer and find the gmail drive icon..it contains subfolders for each subject etc...to copy the files there its as simple as dragging the file you want from inside the drive to your desktop. its more or less a 'gmail explorer'

wait, someone changed the pasword again? I thought it only happened once?  Can't someone just keep a back-up copy of everything (or would that take up waaay too much space??)
Because if you're not going to give out the password, what's the point of having it?

[asa.hoshi]

...those people who keep changing the pw should stop. its so anoying.

I'm glad u fixed it applexy!!

Perhaps now that we're all free from vce, mayb 1 of us old BoSers who know the password should create a back-up thingy, so we can allow access to the '08ers that don't yet know the password, but run minimal risk of losing all the papers permanently? I'm happy to volunteer myself, but I won't be able to do it for a couple of weeks, on account of going on holidays. Is there any1 else with slightly more free time?

How come the papers just aren't stored on a password-protected part of this site itself?
If someone gives me access to the gmail drive, I'll see if I can get all the papers and store them somewhere as a backup

I suggested that a while ago, it didn't seem to materialise tho. Perhaps it will in the future, but for now ppl r a bit busy. It would take a lot of bandwidth as well, I'm not sure how enwiabe is managing any of that. I tried 2 upload/email 1 2 my email, jst 2 figure out the best way 2 do this, but I have no idea wot I did :shock:

I should add, you'll have to wait for applexy to give you the password if he so chooses. It's nothing personal, I just swore on some family member's life about not re-distributing the password without permission.  :wink:
