Did you know that many network resources at SMUS can be accessed by typing the short address into the URL bar of your browser? I see many users going to the SMUS home page and then “mousing around” to find the resource they need. Once you have typed these addresses in once, they will tend to autofill as you type making things even faster.
An example is email.smus.ca. If you just type email.smus.ca into the URL space at the top of the screen, it will take you straight to the SMUS webmail login page.
Here is a partial list of places you can go to using these shortcuts:
email.smus.ca – SMUS email
docs.smus.ca – SMUS google docs
sds.smus.ca – SMUS SDS system
moodle.smus.ca – SMUS student Moodle site
staffmoodle.smus.ca – SMUS Moodle site for staff resources
intranet.smus.ca – shortcut to the SMUS intranet site – probably the best collection of useful links for faculty
bigfiles.smus.ca – shortcut to the location where we can make large files available (instructions http://bigfiles.smus.ca/what%20is%20this%20for.txt )
alumni.smus.ca – SMUS alumni page
archives.smus.ca – SMUS archives
gallery.smus.ca – SMUS photo gallery on the web
library.smus.ca – SMUS library pages
mahara.smus.ca – SMUS eportfolio site
papercut.smus.ca – Site to access information about your print jobs (you can also remotely upload pdfs to print)
On the earth science/astronomy front, if we have a clear morning later this month with a good view to the east and south, you can expect to see all 5 naked-eye visible planets. Check out http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/visible-planets-tonight-mars-jupiter-venus-saturn-mercury for more information.

A great drama unfolds in the predawn sky throughout January, 2016. By the month's end, all five visible planets will appear simultaneously before dawn.
