Create a mailing list in google | gmail

Create a Mailing List | Google Apps for Education

The WNS local directory has grown in the last year. The directory will include our sub-organizations Middle School and High School. If you regularly send email to the same group of people, it would advisable to create a mailing list which will simplify the process, and you don’t have to worry about sending it to the wrong recipient[s] or missing out on someone.

How do I do this?

On the Left had column you will see Mail with a chevron facing down. Click on it and select contacts.
When the contacts menu is populated you will see all your current contacts on the right hand side.

Move down the options on your left and select NEW Group, a new group
dialogue box appears, Type in a name for the group [For example WNS, work, office, etc] and click OK to create it.
Select the new group you have created now listed on the left and add then people you want populated in it.

A new group will be shown on your Contacts with a number of contacts in parenthesis(). For this example WNS2016(83)









Click the add new user by typing their name and clicking add. Continue with the same procedure and the “new” emails will be listed in your “new” group.






When you are done, click contacts and then select Mail, which will redirect you to the original page.
Click on compose, to send and email to the “new” group you have created, in this example my group is called WNS2016. It will then populate all the address you added to it.  You may do this on the BBC field if you do not wish the  recipients to know you sent emails to the entire group.

Yesterday WiFi was working!

You: When WiFi does not work and
 it was okay Yesterday!!!
Yesterday WiFi was working just fine in the office, I passed by the coffee shop and it worked perfectly there! Then I got home, no problem. Today I got to the office and I just don't understand what the issue is! I cannot connect to any network! its sooooo frustrating! You tried turning off the WiFi setting on your Mac and back on again and nothing works tried to forget the network or log in again it tries forever, gets on, then drops the connection or simply never connects!

Well for Mac users this can be a pain, and the most likely reason for this is the WiFi / Network preferences have become corrupted. I first experienced this after upgrading to Marverics OSX 10.9
and also encountered a similar problem on anther Mac on El Capitan OSX 10.11.x

For Mac users here is a workaround

  1. Turn off your WiFi 
  2. click on the Finder icon on your dock
  3. Then hit Command+Shift+G
  4. The go to folder command window [entry box] will appear
  5. Copy or type this path below. [your may see this ~/Library/ delete and enter path shown below]
    1. /Library/preferences/SystemConfiguration/
  6. Hit return [enter] and you will see an window similar appear.
  7. In this window create a folder Called OldWiFiPrefs [you may be required to authenticate this action]
  8. Select the following files (as shown on the right->) and move them to your new folder:
    1. [OldWiFiPrefs]apple.airport.preferences.plist
    2. com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
    3. NetworkInterfaces.plist
    4. preferences.plist
  9. Now restart your Mac :)
  10. Switch WiFi back on and log onto your WiFi hotspot[s] you may need to punch in the password again.
For windows users, if this happens on Windows 7 pro and above, you want to forget your network and try again, if this does not resolve the issue go to manage networks a list of all WiFi SSID's your computer "knows" are listed, delete the one you cannot connect to and then try re-connecting. you will be required to punch in the WiFi password again.

Happy Surfing!

How Strong is your password?


Passwords passwords passwords! We love to hate them, how often do you change yours? how strong is it? your first line of defense is not your password, but securing your device physically :) Then your second line of defense is your password. A good password is at least 8 characters long one of which must be capitalized, within the 8 have a special character such as the # or $ and a number of combination of all these makes your password strong. It is also advised not to use your name. The on other challenge then is how do you remember the complex password you punch in? This can be a downside but you can make up a name that is simple, long and can have interchangeable  characters for numbers or special characters.
Here is an online tool to check how vulnerable your password is.

An example of a good password would look like this: #HelloFromthe0utside!
Test it with tool just for fun and see how long it would take to crack...
But a password is a safe as you keep it :)
