F#$@ Networking 2.0

Another wonderful day of learning how to networking with the one, the only Ms. Rod.
Here is some of the new and exciting information we learned today:

IP- internet protocol
NIC- Network Interface Card
Router- routes data packets based on IP address
Micro segmentation- creates a lot of collision domains
Media- what data travels thru
Repeater- retimes and regenerates network signals
Bridge- filters traffic based on MAC address

We had some other stuff and added to this chart we started the other day but that was about it.  Exciting? Right?  Well the period is over so...........

Bye for now.

Correction to Monday 12, 2012 Post

As is evident in the one comment on the post I am correcting is that instead of encryption and de encryption it should be encapsulation and de encapsulation.

Well that is all so...........

Bye for now 

Getting Back Points

Apparently last blog post I was supposed to embed the animation I made on Adobe Flash.  As you can see if you read my blog, I didn't and since Ms. Rod just started grading all the blogs I lost points.  Being the really nice person she is, Ms. Rod is allowing me to post another post with the embedded animation and get the full points back.  I know right, the nicest teacher ever.  So here is the famous animation I forgot to embed:

There it is!! It worked and obviously this is the best animation of Adobe Flash you have ever seen.

Well I have to go do another post about today's lesson.

Bye for now.

F#$@ NETWORKING!!

Yeah we learned about networking.  To preface this, it is horrible but i have to get these points so here we go.

How does an email get from one computer to the next?  Unfortunately now I know.  It is by the process of encryption and de encryption in turn.  The process has is the same but in opposite directions and it has seven steps.  They are Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical.  The format of the data in each step is as follows respectively: Data, Data, Data, Segments, Packets, Frames, and Bits.  Each step has details about what it is and they are as follows: Application: Email and Browsers, Presentation:  common data format, encryption, and compression, Session: virtual session, end to end connections, Transport: Quality of Service and Flow Control,  Network: Routing, Data Link: Media Access Control, and finally Physical: bits.



Bye I have to go.

Weekly Post

I know it is a surprise but I do not post on this blog for my own pleasure! (GASP)  So I plan on blogging for a respectable amount of lines that in essence have absolutely no content that is worth reading or that anyone wants to know or cares about.  I am not even totally sure if Ms.  Rod actually reads theses when she grades them so if it looks long and in depth  I will most likely get a good grade or something like that.  Oh I think in one of my previous blogs said I was going to try to post m completed and edited "Stop HIB" movie poster so here I go:

Hey! It worked! Ok well it is Friday again so I am going to post the same exact pictures I for last Friday or whenever I posted on a Friday last:

Finally A Break

So far today has been a really easy day.  It started off with a really easy Spanish 2 test that I am almost sure I aced.  What a great start right?  Well it got even better.  Communications Technology is one of the hardest classes I have; learning all about Photoshop is not as fun as it sounds.  Today was such a break from the normal grind that this class requires.  I am not working all the way to the bell and I even had the time left to give you this extra blog post, even though it was assigned; whatever.  Well I have nothing left to say so since I do not think Ms. Rod thinks I am very smart, here are some pictures that support racial equality and acceptance of others:

Oh also it is Friday and who is not pumped about that so:

Well now I really have nothing left to say so....

HIB Prevention

The first marking period of the school year was officially HIB awareness month, HIB standing for harassment     intimidation and bullying.  The idea was to learn about the different ways people were "HIB'd" and figure out ways to stop it.  Overall, the goal was to raise awareness of what bullying goes on in school.  In our of HIB awareness, our Communications Technology class edited movie posters in Photoshop CS4 (I used the newer  version CS5 because my computer for some odd reason was missing CS4) into anti bullying posters.  My poster started out as the movie poster for The Godfather III.  Here is an abnormally large picture of what my poster started out as:

I thought it was pretty intense and cool.  I know if Al Pacino was staring at me like that I would never, ever bully anyone.  I know that the Godfather trilogy is one of my favorite movie series ever and I was really happy when I got to use one of the posters for my project.  For the very few people who read this regularly, comment with your favorite movie(s).

For now that is all I got.
