Fellow Students Bloggs

Fellow students blogs



PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Lord knows we are all trying our hardest with the blogs that we are doing for our unit, so please check out your fellow students blogs and by helping them we are helping ourselves. Sometimes all we need is a "Excellent Work" or " Fantastic ideas" to make it all seem worth the effort.

Here's a list of the ones that I know of so far and if I have left you out, don't worry I will keep updating them as I get the time or links to do so.

Blog skins....

Almost as good as buying the perfect pair of shoes I have found a new love, well something to keep me occupied for the next couple of days anyway.

BLOG SKINS
Oh how I love searching thru and trying on blog skins. I think I tried on about 300 tonight and please please forgive me anyone who happened upon my blog and thought they were having a seizure when the blog template kept changing every time they clicked on something.

I tried everything from Kittens to Killers, Emo, Elephants and I think even Elmo ( who by the way has his own website). I discovered that I love vector and that too much yellow can make your eyes sore with in about 15 seconds.

Here is the site that I tried on most of my dresses I mean skins from

SKIN ME

Have a look around and tell me what you think.

Cheers

A good HTML website

While tourturing myself tonight trying to work out what skin/dress I should wear I cam across a pretty cool html site from which I got ideas to tweak my skin with.

HTML CODE TUTORIAL

Let me know if you find some HTML coding sites that you love love love.

It would be easier to pick out a dress to wear to the Oscars

I have absolutely positively no doubt that it would be easier to pick out a dress to wear to the oscars than pick a skin for this blogg. Like an insane woman I have tried on more skins then Hannibal Lecture, with not a drop of Chianti in site.

Please bear with me until I find what I am looking for.

Smoohs

Module One: The Further Exploration Part

This part of the module asks me to download a program called A-Tool bar, its freeware and you can find the download site and further infomation at

http:// www.tucows.com/preview/323577

I am asked to ping the site (Black Board) which results in the program freezing and it goes into ( the program is not responding mode), so I reboot the computer and try again. No luck, I am trying to ping the address http://lms.curtin.edu.au/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab_id=_1_1 and its just freezing, I think perhaps I am pinging the wrong site and I figure its because this is a log in section of the website and that's why the reason why I can't get any response. I am going to ask a question in the forum and see if I am on the right track with my "what I am doing wrong" thoughts.


Trace Route

I leave my pinging problem and ping over to the next part of the the section which is running a trace route from my computer to curtin.edu.au. Using my trusty A-tool bar I run a trace from my computer to curtin's and this is what I find.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

11 jumps instead of 16 and no time outs, the trace also seems to be completed much much quicker. Its amazing to me that those packets of infomation jump so many times and still manage to land where they are supposed to. A week ago I had no real understanding of routers, packets or hops, while I had heard of them I did not like most internet users even give them a second thought.

Module One: Internet Tools

Trace Routes

Photobucket

Trace route programs let us find out how many jumps our packets make before they reach their intended destination. Much like the links of chain in my photo, I see the hops as links in getting your or my info to its intended destination, please someone correct me if I am wrong.

I used the site http://network-tools.com/

Here are my results doing a trace to curtin.edu.au

134.7.179.56 is from Australia(AU) in region Oceana

Now I am pretty sure that it took 16 jumps even though there are 17 entries the last one is the Curtin server. Now the average time if I am calculating correctly is 1.7 seconds for curtin.edu.au to be traced with a total of 16 jumps, which equals 110 mms per jump.


I.P freely.... The i.p. address for curtin.edu.au is 134.7.179.56
