- Making a Unix Link on the ICL Linux system:
- cd or pushd to a directory you will use for 101 work
and type (noting the space and dot at the end of the command):
ln -s /afs/cats.ucsc.edu/courses/cmps101-avg .
- Now cmps101-avg appears to be a subdirectory; do
pushd cmps101-avg/
- and you are in that directory. If you do pushd now
you are back in your directory (note the directories listed after
each pushd command).
- Links to other useful directories are done similarly.
ln -s /afs/cats.ucsc.edu/courses/cmps101-avg/Supplements .
ln -s /afs/cats.ucsc.edu/courses/cmps101-avg/AppendixCode .
ln -s /afs/cats.ucsc.edu/courses/cmps101-avg/Cmake .
ln -s /afs/cats.ucsc.edu/courses/cmps101-avg/GDB_TUTORIAL .
ln -s /afs/cats.ucsc.edu/courses/cmps101-avg/Handouts .
ln -s /afs/cats.ucsc.edu/class/cmps101-avg.s17 .
The last directory, cmps101-avg.s17, might not allow you to pushd into,
but I think you can do "ls cmps101-avg.s17" after making the s-link.
- pushd is more convenient than cd because it
remembers where you have been; for more features, do
man pushd

- CLASS MAILING LIST (actually a Google group):
cmps101-spring17@soe.ucsc.edu
- Enrolled students will be added automatically soon after classes start
- Many students have not seen announcements on this list
and/or emails from the instructor and TA in past classes.
-
You need to use the search functions in gmail and/or google groups
to locate messages with [C101] in the subject and/or those from
avg or a TA (tba*).
-
Mobile phones are inadequate for keeping up with class-related
emails. Some functions are not available, such as non-threaded access.
Be prepared to NOT PASS THE CLASS if you rely on a phone for email and
Internet.
Use a laptop or workstation that permits non-threaded access for email.
-
Trying to reply to this list might not work as expected.
Be sure to
check that your message is directed to the above name exactly as shown
before you send it.
Use Compose to post a new topic and MAKE THE SUBJECT RELEVANT.
Student who ignore the above line my lose posting privileges.
You mess it up for other students.
- How to join if you are taking CMPS101:
- You should not need to do anything.
- Your CruzId will be entered from the AIS enrollment list.
A welcome message will be sent after this has been done.
- How to access (a magic URL):
https://groups.google.com/a/soe.ucsc.edu/forum/#!forum/cmps101-spring17
You will need to login with your CruzId and your blue password.
WARNING: Using this URL (instead of gmail) seems to force
threading, and you will not see important announcements at top level.
If anyone knows a way around this please inform us!
- How to join if you are in soe.ucsc.edu: Send mail to
cmps101-spring17+join@soe.ucsc.edu
from your SOE mail account. Subject and body do not matter.
(Many new students do not have an SOE email account.)
When you receive a "confirm" email, follow those instructions.
Possibly I will need to click something to activate your membership.
If you are in cmps101 or have a good reason to be in this list,
I will approve it, but there can be some delay.
