which one is not like the others? Is there something I don't get?

Well, obviously, if you bring any of the other no-no items AND you have tapestries, then you'll have an even bigger fire when the inevitable occurs...

Obj,

where did you buy your stuff?

Congrats to new admits!!!

Guess there's no turning back for me either...I'm on my way! In Rawlins, WY right now and should be home Saturday WOOHOO

Bob's.

Queen Size frame (headboard and footboard included) ($199), chest (aka tall dresser; $200), desk ($399), bookshelf ($75), and bob o-pedic mattress ($400).

You can probably find a better deal on desks if you want to save a little more money. It's a nice desk, but it's not huge and probably not worth the $399. There is one from Ikea that's bigger and has more drawers for $299, but it is Ikea. And the one from Bob's matches the other furniture, and it also makes things easier having things delivered by one place at the same time.

Also: Congrats to all the new admits!

I go away on a two-week, Internetless vacation and everything gets interesting around here. Before I left we were all talking about corn, and the minute I go people find out their sections Anyway, assuming that the assignments are all worked out now I'm also in section 5 like a bunch of the rest of you. I'm definitely starting to get excited!

Also, about bringing microwaves to dorms, it seems like everyone I know had the same rule in undergrad but still had a microwave. I doubt they crack down more in law school. I'm still glad I get to live in an apartment with a microwave, toaster, rice cooker, oven, stove, and a George Foreman though Also, I would have hated to leave my tapestry collection at home.

I thought about smuggling in a crock pot and microwave, but I hate the thoguht of the place I'm living reeking of food 24/7 so I think I'll vote against doing so. Also, it would make the medieval tapestry collection which I AM smuggling in smell like green chile or chicken, so that wouldn't work, obviously.

Also, are you in the section five fb group? If not, you should join! The link is on the HLS 2012 page.

I joined. I'm guessing the courses listed in the group description are our first semester classes. I guess I missed this somewhere; where did that info come from?

The original "leak" was actually in the transcript section rather than where it is now and so that had the class list. The list on the fb group is right though.

Random question:

Has anybody been able to get their HLS email to work on their phone? Its refusing to work on mine and I'm trying to figure out if its a problem with my phone or with the HLS email server. Thanks.

I am using a desktop e-mail agent and it works fine. So I don't think the server has a problem.

Make sure you follow all the instructions carefully:

--LinkRemoved--

Some key settings are:

# E-mail Address: username@jdxx.law.harvard.edu
# User Name: username@jdxx.law.harvard.edu
# POP Server: pop.students.law.harvard.edu
# Password: HLS password
# SMTP server: smtp.students.law.harvard.edu

Default port settings must be changed as well
# Incoming port(POP3): 995
# Outgoing port(SMTP): 465
Both of them require an encrypted connection (SSL).

Yeah, I've got it working fine on my computer, but for some reason it won't work with my phone. The only reason I thought it might be something on Harvard's end is that my phone is working fine with other pop3 accounts. Thanks, though.

ya I can't get it to work on my iphone either. And the IT people are IDIOTS. they don't even know what an alias is.

Ugh all this iPhone talk makes me want one....instead I have a regular old cellphone that my dad bought in Europe, which doesn't have a charger that works in our plugs over here...so I have to carry an adapter around along with my charger! Ridiculous. My first purchase post-law school is going to be a sweet phone.

Just confirmed hls mail won't work on my ipod touch either. Very strange indeed.

Just set up your HLS email to go to your gmail account (if you have one) and then link your gmail account...

I still don't have access to my courses. Is this true for everyone?

My HLS email works fine on my Blackberry and my Iphone.

Lol, I'm with Laura. My phone calls and texts but doesn't do this "lets fly around the interwebs to check mail" thing...\

I'm kind of glad though; this whole 21st-century thing seems rather complicated...

It's getting close, ladies and gents! I'm so revved!

is there a way we can find our sections if we missed the "glitch"?

From the facebook group:

"log in to your HLS MyMail account. Go to the Utilities tab. Then go to My Information. The number next to the courses for which you are registered (scroll down) is your section."

I hope this helps!

How'd you set up the harvard email for the iphone?

POP3 Server: pop.students.law.harvard.edu
POP3 Port: 995

SMTP Server: smtp.students.law.harvard.edu
SMTP Port: 465

Username is your complete email address.

This info is under the "options" link in the upper right corner of your MyMail.

So i've been able to log into my email with my "name".jd12 username and password. But I can't log into anything else when prompted for a user name (like to change my password, look at MyPlan, etc.) Is this a different user name? If so, what is it (or how do I find out what it is and what my default password is)? I've seen the term "HUID" thrown around but I don't know what that is.
