John Saul’s House of Reckoning

Sarah and her dad, Ed, live a quaint existance at their farm house despite his recent death of his wife, despite these odds they cherish each other. That is…until one day, when Sarah’s world crumbles around her. Her dad is sent to jail, her to a foster family, and to a new, ruthless school of gut-wrenching students. Just when she thinks all is lost, Sarah meets her art teacher, Bettina, who turns out to be more caring and nurturing than she ever could have imagined. She meets her closest friend and confidant, Nick. This group of so-called musketeers fight against their worst enemies, imagined and invisible.

With Sarah’s talent for art, Nick’s voices that swim in his mind, and Bettina’s ‘witch’ power, the three of them discover secrets, release tortured souls, and dish up much deserved justice! A real tale that displays the detailed meaning of “revenge is a bitch!”

Excerpts:
Pg. 48- ‘It tasted almost as bad as she felt.’

Pg. 50- ‘All around him blood was spurting from torn arteries, faces were dissolving as if doused in acid, and maggots tumbled from empty sockets where the eyes hat were watching him should have been.’

Pg. 185- ‘The voices in his head wouldn’t let him.’

Pg. 233- ‘It was all impossible… as she started painting, it all made sense.’

Listen to Michael C. Brown talking with moderator Chris Dorobek

In order to do this, DHS took its cues from the Social Security Administration, which is using a similar model.

At a recent lunch hosted by AFFIRM, Michael C. Brown, Executive Director of the IT Services Office at the Department of Homeland Security talked about how his office is accomplishing this and why they decided to make the move.

“We wanted both carrier and geographic redundancy for all the reasons that that might make sense and we did not have that pervasively throughout the department under the status quo, so this really was, again, a transformative opportunity in terms of capability.”

DHS has branded its WAN [wide area network] as OneNet, which is currently composed of 151,000 service elements and 5,000 sites.

In terms of design, Brown said that the way that telecommunications services are offered through Networx (and, previously, FTS2001) were very advantageous.

“There’s both an ability to centralize services. So, for example, we’ve centralized the fair opportunity across the department for [WAN] services and we’ve centralized the provisioning capability. At the same time, there are the very positive tools of distributed management. So, the designated agency representative capabilities — those ordering officials that are spread throughout the department and every other agency in the federal government, allow us then to execute the fair opportunity decision in a distributive way. It really brings a force multiplier to the game and allows each of our components to have a significant stake in a centralized solution.”

This, he noted, has many benefits including cost savings.

“The fair opportunity decision which we completed in May of 2008 was about $971 million in total value over the life — so very significant fair opportunity decision. I think that the work we undertook in the SOW [statement of work] arena was perhaps the most meaningful. We achieved a number of capabilities that we hadn’t had in the department before — but most challenging, perhaps, in developing an SOW of that size is bringing together the subject matter experts and sequestering them for a long enough period of time to create a real requirements package.”

He added that DHS is using Networx — and the private cloud — as an opportunity to transform the enterprise.

“As a young department, you can imagine that we’re working through a number of the consolidation kinds of activities that you might expect when you pull 22 agencies together. WANs are not the least of those. We’re having to roll those up into a single enterprise of wide area network. Networx presents exactly the right opportunity to cause that to happen.”

LAN adalah singkatan dari Lokal Area Network. LAN terdiri dari beberapa komputer yang terhubung dalam suatu jaringan. Pada jaringan ini setiap komputer dapat mengakses data dari komputer lain. Selain itu komputer yang terhubung dalam LAN juga dapat menjalankan hardware seperti printer dari komputer lain , chating dengan pemilik komputer lain, main game bareng. Jumlah komputer yang terhubung pada LAN relatif kecil, misalnya komputer-komputer di rumah, di warnet, di tempat kos, dan di beberapa tempat lain yang mana komputer yang termasuk di dalam LAN berada dalam satu bangunan. Setiap komputer yang terhubung pada LAN mempunyai IP address yang berbeda. Komputer di dalam LAN terhubung melelui ethernet atau dapat juga dengan wireless teknologi yang berkecepatan antara 10-10000 Mbps. LAN yang menggunakan teknologi wireless biasa disebut wireless LAN. Pada umumnya wireless LAN lebih mahal dibanding dengan LAN yang menggunakan kabel, karena harga hardware untuk wireless LAN lebih mahal. Wireless LAN digunakan hanya jika pada tempat tersebut tidak memungkinkan dipasang kabel. Wireless LAN juga mempunyai beberapa keunggulan antara lain lebih fleksibel sehingga komputer yang terhubung wireless LAN dapat dipindahkan ke tempat lain yang masih dalam jangkauan, instalasi serta perlengkapan yang digunakan juga lebih sedikit dan “invisible”. Akan tetapi wireless LAN juga mampunyai kekurangan antara lain keamanan dari jaringan kurang, wilayah yang tercakup dalam jaringan terbatas pada wilayah yang dapat dijangkau oleh gelombang radio dari wireless LAN, kecepatan transfer data pada wireless LAN juga lebih lambat daripada LAN dengan kabel.

MAN atau Metropolitan area network adalah jaringan yang lebih luas daripada LAN. beberapa LAN menjadi satu jaringan dapat juga disebut MAN. MAN terdapat di dalam satu kampus atau dalam satu wilayah yang agak luas(dapat juga satu kota). MAN biasanya tidak dimiliki oleh satu organisasi saja. Sama seperti LAN, MAN juga memiliki wireless MAN dengan kekurangan dan kelebihan yang relatif sama.

Beberapa MAN yang terhubung dalam internet disebut WAN(wide area network). Cakupan wilayah dari WAN sangatlah luas bahkan mencapai seluruh dunia. Untuk WAN biasanya digunakan antena satelit untuk berhubungan satu sama lain karena wilayahnya yang sangat luas dan sangat sulit untuk menggunakan kabel.

• Generally spread over a larger geographical area from across a city to across a continent (100Km – 1000Km)
• Typically made up of a number of intercontinental switching nodes.
• Transmission from one device goes through internal nodes of the network to a specified destination device.
• Nodes are not concerned with the contents of the message but just bounce the message to the next node towards the destination.
• Implemented using circuits switching, packets switching frame relay or ATM networks.

A wide area network (WAN) is a computer network that covers a broad area (i.e., any network whose communications links cross metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries ). This is in contrast with personal area networks (PANs), local area networks (LANs), campus area networks (CANs), or metropolitan area networks (MANs) which are usually limited to a room, building, campus or specific metropolitan area (e.g., a city) respectively.

WANs are used to connect LANs and other types of networks together, so that users and computers in one location can communicate with users and computers in other locations. Many WANs are built for one particular organization and are private. Others, built by Internet service providers, provide connections from an organization’s LAN to the Internet. WANs are often built using leased lines. At each end of the leased line, a router connects to the LAN on one side and a hub within the WAN on the other. Leased lines can be very expensive. Instead of using leased lines, WANs can also be built using less costly circuit switching or packet switching methods. Network protocols including TCP/IP deliver transport and addressing functions. Protocols including Packet over SONET/SDH, MPLS, ATM and Frame relay are often used by service providers to deliver the links that are used in WANs. X.25 was an important early WAN protocol, and is often considered to be the “grandfather” of Frame Relay as many of the underlying protocols and functions of X.25 are still in use today (with upgrades) by Frame Relay.

Transmission rate usually range from 1200 bps to 6 Mbps, although some connections such as ATM and Leased lines can reach speeds greater than 156 Mbps. Typical communication links used in WANs are telephone lines, microwave links & satellite channels.

Herewith, to mark the ten thousandth view of Sesquiotica, I present an epistolary correspondence between Ion Orzabal and Muriel Wan.

IO:
Muriel, I wan to woo you.

MW:
There are wan ways to do that. Wan, my name, one of the old hundred Chinese surnames, means “ten thousand.” So it is one hundred times the hundred. Square me away with some poetry.

IO:
You, Wan, are Han (Chinese); I am Basque. May I bask in your glory? Muriel, for you I will make merry with a myriad of means – myriad being “ten thousand” but rooting in the Greek murios, “countless.” Any Tennyson? Let’s try this:

Sweet is every sound,
Sweeter thy voice, but every sound is sweet;
Myriads of rivulets hurrying through the lawn,
The moan of doves in immemorial elms,
and murmuring of innumerable bees.

MW:
You have connected! You speak of innumerable bees and moaning birds, surely the source of the countless many things – in Chinese, wan wu: the “ten thousand things.” Everything. As often mentioned in the Tao Te Ching – let me quote the translation by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English:

The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.

and

The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.

I do like the water images. After all, Muriel comes from Scots Gaelic Muireall, “bright sea.”

IO:
If water is music to your ears, I can Handel it. But then let me Aeschylate matters. Who stole the fire from the gods and put them in your eyes? Why, Prometheus, of course, and he is bound to be relevant. He is quoted speaking of the “Myriad laughter of the ocean waves.” A cheat, though, I declare: the original Greek is pontion te kumaton anérithmon gelasma, no murios in sight until lines later (where it is murieté)… Here is David Grene’s translation of the lines:

Bright lights, swift-winged winds, springs of the rivers, numberless
laughter of the sea’s waves, earth, mother of all, and the all-seeing
circle of the sun: I call upon you to see what I, a God, suffer
at the hands of Gods –
see with what kind of torture
worn down I shall wrestle ten thousand
years of time –

And indeed, Muriel, I wrestle a myriad of yearning tortures for you. Let me, IO, quote Io from Prometheus Bound, stung by the gadfly, goaded by Argos, the ten-thousand-eyed (muriópon) herdsman. In Greek, “Io, io, popoi! Poi de m’agousi téleplagtoi planai.” In English, “O, O, O, Where are you bringing me, my far-wandering wanderings?” Do my wanderings take me back? Do I strive pointlessly?

MW:
Ah, earth, the mother of all, again. You have named it! But there it is: you begin from the myth and you take it to the myriad in the moment, an instance of hierophany – Mircea Eliade’s “eternal return.” We create the sacred space when we connect with the myth, and the time now becomes the time of the myth for the moment. In every countless moment we may return. But again I am jonesing for the tao:

Returning is the motion of the Tao.
Yielding is the way of the Tao.
The ten thousand things are born of being.
Being is born of not being.

IO:
Ah, all is wan and wan is one. I know another eternal return: the idea that, given an infinite amount of time, all arrangements of matter in the universe will recur. But I eternally return to you, Ion after eons. Will you yield?

MW:
And the universe, too, returns, from big bang to big crunch, every breath a myriad of eons. But is this yield you desire the yield of a cookie recipe? I hope it is not a mere yield of a myriad. Myriad matches miscellaneously: ways, problems, forms, details, issues. Do you make merry or do you make as to marry? I do not marry ad hoc; Muriel does not marry all who ask. Wan will have but one.

IO:
Well, when all is Wan, Wan is all. I will be a rock and will not roll. If you wish a stairway to heaven, let us physically manifest the sacred. But let me speak of what I believe; I will shout and let it all out, my tears and fears. You speak of Mircea Eliade, and I hope my words are not Greek to you; I seek no Iliad, and I wish theodicy, not the Odyssey. Have mercy. Let my hierophany be Coleridge’s “Hymn to the Earth”:

Say, mysterious Earth! O say, great mother and goddess,
Was it not well with thee then, when first thy lap was ungirdled,
Thy lap to the genial Heaven, the day that he woo’d thee and won thee!
Fair was thy blush, the fairest and first of the blushes of morning!
Deep was the shudder, O Earth! the throe of thy self-retention:
Inly thou strovest to flee, and didst seek thyself at thy centre!
Mightier far was the joy of thy sudden resilience; and forthwith
Myriad myriads of lives teem’d forth from the mighty embracement.
Thousand-fold tribes of dwellers, impell’d by thousand-fold instincts,
Fill’d, as a dream, the wide waters; the rivers sang on their channels;
Laugh’d on their shores the hoarse seas; the yearning ocean swell’d upward;
Young life low’d through the meadows, the woods, and the echoing mountains,
Wander’d bleating in valleys, and warbled on blossoming branches.

The myriad myriads – noun and adjective, the universe in verse – will teem forth from our embracement. Let me be the genial Heaven that woo’d and won Wan! The rivers will sing in their channels, and the hoarse seas will laugh – countlessly; the yearning ocean will swell upward.

Oh, let me Marvell at your beauty! To be exact, Andrew Marvell, “To His Coy Mistress”:

Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime
…
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
…
But at my back I always hear
Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near;
…
Let us roll all our strength and all
Our sweetness up into one ball,
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life:
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.

MW:
Ah, thirty thousand – san man. Mister San Man, you bring me a dream. The wingèd chariot may be your father’s, for you are Ion, son of Apollo, who drives the sun. I hope you will not run. You are myriad-minded, to borrow a word Coleridge applied to Shakespeare: Greek murionous. I am in mind of Bronson Alcott, from “Ion: A Monody”:

Early through field and wood each Spring we sped,
Young Ion leading o’er the reedy pass;
…
For endless Being’s myriad-minded race
Had in his thought their registry and place

But for your harbinger, let me end with a line from Edmund Charles Blunden’s Harbingers:

And wed me with the myriad-minded man.

IO:
Then let us be happily myriad!

Cisco cihazlar ile iyi birşeyler yapabilmek için öncelikle ağ kavramını iyi bilmek gereklidir.

Ağ, birden fazla bilgisayarın çeşitli sebeplerden dolayı iletişim içinde oldukları yapıdır. Böylece bilgi paylaşılır ve merkezi bir yapı oluşturulmuş olur. Yönetilmesi daha kolay olur.

Ağ

Ağ tabanını oluşturan cihazlar içinde Router ve Switch genellikle en çok kullanılan cihazlardır. Cisco da bu konularda kendini kanıtlamış bir markadır.

2 tip ağ yapısı bulunmaktadır. Birisi Peer-To-Peer diğeri ise Client-Server.

Peer-To-Peer yapısı, bütün bilgisayarlar eşit haklara sahiptir ve ana bilgisayar yoktur. Bilgisayarlar kendi aralarında sanki Client-Server gibi hareket ederler.

Client-Server yapısı ise, bir ana bilgisayar bulunmaktadır ve diğer bütün bilgisayarlar bunun dahilinde çalışmaktadır.

Ağ topolojisi LAN, MAN ve WAN olmak üzere üçe ayrılır.

LAN: Local Area Network, yerel alan ağı anlamındadır. Belirli alan içerisinde oluşturulan ağlardır. Kısıtlı bir coğrafi konum içerisinde olur. Ofis, ev, okul sınırları içerisinde oluşturulan bir ağ örnek olur.

Örnek Bir Lan Yapısı

MAN: Metropolitan Area Network , şehir alan ağı anlamındaır. Örnek olarak bir firmanın bir şehir içinde bulunan birkaç ofisinin ortak bir yapı içinde olmasını verebiliriz.

örnek bir MAN yapısı

WAN: Wide Area Network, Geniş Alan Ağları anlamındadır. Geniş alan ağları büyük coğrafyaları kapsar. Buna örnek olarak kısaca İnterneti verebiliriz. Şehirler arası, Ülkeler arası Ağ paylaşımı buna örnektir.

Örnek Bir Wan Yapısı

Router 3. katman bir cihazdır, IP ve MAC üzerinden iletişim kurabilir. Bu cihaz bize bir yerden bir yere gidebilmek için yolu gösterir.

Switch ise 2. katman bir cihazdır, sadece MAC üzerinden iletişim kurabilir. Fakat Switch’lerin gelişmişleri bulunmaktadır. Bunlar ise Multilayer Switch olarak bilinir. Bunlar ise IP ve MAC üzerinde iletişim kurabilir.

IP adresleme en önemli şeydir. Bir yerden bir yere iletişime geçebilmek için Router ile yol belirlenir ve oradan iletişim kurulur.

IP adresleme de 4 kriter vardır.

1- IP adresi: Cihazımızın yerel ağda iletişime geçebilmesi için gerekli olan IP adresi.

2- Alt Ağ Maskesi: IP adresi ile hangi network içinde olacağını belirlemek için gerekli olan maskelemedir. Biz bununla cihazımızın hangi network grubu içerisinde olduğunu belirleriz. Burda iki şey vardır. Subnetting yani daraltma, Supernetting yani genişletme. Subnetting ile ağ daralması sağlanır yani cihazımızın ulaşabiliceği alan kısıtlanır. Supernetting ile genişlemesi sağlanır yani cihazımızın ulaşabiliceği alan genişletirilir.

3- Varsayılan Ağ Geçidi: Cihazımızın diğer networklere ulaşabilmesi için gerekli olan cihazdır. Buna kısaca taşıyıcı diyebiliriz.

4- DNS: Domain Name System, yani Alan Adı Sistemidir. IP adreslerini isim olarak saklar. Biz aslında web browser dan bir alan adı girdiğimizde arkada dönen olay önce gidilir site hangi alan adına sahipse (com, net, org…) oraya sorulur sonra oradan bir IP adresi döner ve browser bunu açmış olur.

Biz bu 4 şeyi kullanarak interneti kullanırız.

Şimdilik yazımı burada sonlandıracağım ve bir sonrakinde Cisco cihazlar için yapılandırmayı anlatmaya başlayacağım.

Umarım faydalı bir kaynak olmuştur. Teşekkürler…

Setelah panjang lebar posting jaringan,, kayanya masih ada yang kurang , hal yang kecil tapi penting. Yaitu pemahaman tentang  area jaringan seperti LAN, MAN, LAN, WLAN, dll

• Local Area Network (LAN) adalah sekumpulan komputer yang saling terhubung bersama dalam satu area tertentu yang tidak begitu luas. Seperti di dalam satu kantor atau yang paling mudah itu contohnya  warnet oh ya 2 PC yang terhubung secara Peer to Peer saja sudah termasuk LAN. Pada saat ini LAN berbasis pada tekhnologi IEEE 802.3 Ethernet menggunakan Switch, yang mempunyai kecepatan transfer data 10, 100, atau 1000 Mbit/s.
• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) adalah beberapa LAN yang di gabungkan menjadi satu jaringan. Jangkauan MAN antara 10 – 50 KM. Kalo baca di buku-buku MAN termasuk dalam network dalam satu kota yg saling terhubung.  Tapi mendengar cerita dosen waktu di kelas kemaren  sebuah Kampus memiliki 2 Laboratorium Jaringan, LAB 1 di Gedung A dan LAB 2 digedung B. Jika kedua Lab tersebut saling terhubung maka bisa dikatakan MAN. Karena ini juga gabungan dari LAN
• WAN (Wide Area Network) WAN mencakup area yang lebih luas lagi yaitu antar Kota, Wilayah, atau bahkan antar negeri . Sehingga user bisa saling berkomunikasi dengan user lain walau berbeda lokasi atau daerah.
• WLAN (Wireless LAN) adalah tekhnologi baru koneksi LAN yang menggunakan Gelombang. tekhnologi yang digunakan adalah 802.11b/g/n (biasa disebut Wi-fi). sering digunakan untuk membangun LAN karena tidak ribet tarik-tarik kabel . nah klo tempat-tempat yang biasa menyediakan koneksi LAN dengan sinyal Wifi disebut HOT SPOT (ada yang gratis tapi biasanya di café-café atau di Resto-resto tapi paling ngga harus makan dulu, klo ngga malu sich pesen air putih aja trus internetan sepuasnya )

Beberapa istilah lain juga kayanya penting nich… jadi ditambahin aja dech sekalian

WWW atau klo di baca “Triple Double You”

yakni sebuah sistem dimana informasi dalam bentuk teks, gambar, suara, dan lain-lain dipresentasikan dalam bentuk hypertext dan dapat diakses oleh perangkat lunak yang disebut browser (seperti Mozilla Firefox, IE (Microsoft), Opera, Safari (Macintosh), Google Chrome (Google), dll).

Internet

adalah suatu jaringan komputer yang saling terhubung untuk komunikasi atau pertukaran informasi  di seluruh dunia yang berisi teks, audio, video, dll.

Intranet

Intranet sebenarnya hampir sama dengan internet hanya saja layanannya terbatas/dibuat khusus jadi tidak untuk umum/semua orang

Oakton re-entry

OKN:  Opened a position in Oakton today at 3.40.

I exited the last Oakton trade when I hit a double top, which has now been clearly penetrated (smashed?) giving a strong run up to a the high for the year so far.

The share appears to be in an uptrend (higher highs, lower lows), so I have bought in where the share seems to be finding support.

Reasons against taking the trade?  The high point in the chart is a nice example of a shooting star, a typical reversal signal.  The top of that shooting star is clos-ish to the most recent significant highest high in August 2008.  This may cap my upside, but if that is penetrated, then this is a good trade.  Lets see where this goes.

Downside is limited due to closeness to next support line, and upwards trend line.

wan - another re-entry

WAN:  Opened a position in West Australian News today at 7.80.  Volume has been good the last two days, and days have been closing at or near daily tops for a while now – in spite of the large number of down days recently in the general market.

Looking for a bounce on the current upwards trendline – and hopefully not too much resistance at the recent high.  Looking at todays chart looks like it may be a distinct possibility.

As I sign off for the night, the US markets are opening well, so if this pushes through resistance tomorrow this may be one to watch.

Even though it is new media.. so as a keeper this doesn’t make sense to me!

Thats a lot of closures.

So, like everyone, I have interests outside that which I primarily write about here.  Without wanting to digress too much, I have been out sparring tonight.  I copped a slight knock to the jaw, and saw the followup hook coming in for the 1-2.  Despite the knock, I kept the guard up and avoided the big punch.  That’s what we train – keep your guard up, and try to read the opponent – sometimes you will get it right, and sometimes you will get hit. When you get hit – keep the guard up, feel for the next one!!

I’ve taken a few shots this month, as the portfolio update next weekend will attest.  So – back to training – keep the guards up, take a shot when you can and accept you can’t catch everything.  But never get hit so hard you can’t continue.  After a few losses in a row, all bar one below 10%, I feel like its the end of a round.  Splash water in the face, take a breather on the weekend and get back in there.

On with the show…

amp - taking a dive

AMP:  Closed my position in AMP at $5.96 for an 8% loss.  Now looking at the entry when I opened this trade, it was such a good looking trigger.  The setup was linked to financials doing well, and then a nice breakout.  I held on through the retracement.. and passed on my trendline stop loss waiting for … what?  The support I expected did not exist.   Stop triggered last night, and exit taken in early trade today.  Now I have a more bearish outlook than a few weeks ago, taking the earlier exit looks like a no-brainer.  hmmmm 20-20 hindsight.  Of note is a flattening of the longer term MA (in orange).  Lets step back from this a bit.  Not a bad trade, but could have been better.

reh - small gain

REH:  Exited this today at $24 for a 4% gain.  This trade was always on a bit of a knife edge.  I found to be a bit illiquid for my liking… and I knew that sentiment was not strong once I had a position.  A couple of times in the last two weeks I have been the only seller of Reece – and no one has wanted to take my shares off my hands.  Now things are grim, I thought I should close this out rather than get caught out – so I did, and it looks from the chart that others followed me out the door.

I really should remember to keep an eye on liquidity – this has happened to me twice this year now (note to self).

WAN - reading the papers

WAN:  Closed my position in West Australian News today at $7.57 for an 8% gain.  Now this is a better trade – I’m happier with this.

I was confident in my entry, as it was ‘text book’, departure from a steady uptrend to the high side, with good liquidity.

My ATR based stop loss tracked nicely and has kept me in a nice profit.  Whilst I could have exited on the departure from the steeper trendline, this would translate to a futile attempt at top picking – not a winning approach as I have learnt over the years.  In this case I definitely stuck to the plan, and no second guessing.

Aquila Resources

AQA:  And finally AQA.  I closed my position at $7.09 for a monster 14% loss just prior to close of trade today.  This is a 2R loss.  Even with a small position that I entered with, the loss was too big.

Look at those black candles – great at a birthday party – but not great for my bank balance!  It is actually this trade that has told me I need to review everything on the weekend, and hunt some good shorts – I’m sure they’re out there.  Looking through whats left of my positions, I may be taking more positions out tomorrow – but we shall see what the overnight US markets whisper to me.

And finally, a comment on a position I haven’t closed.  And I still need to work out if it oughtta be.  This is what a capital raising can do to my capital in the short term.  But I love noticing things.  Like the fall to the height of a recent peak, coinciding with the same price point as the capital raising… hmmm…

bugger - a capital raising

In closing – although I mentioned a contact sport above, I do not think of the market as an aggressor opponent – I think of it as a sparring partner.  It does what it does, I do what I do, and through it all I get fitter.

So keep your guards up!

Final exam started, today!

(sigh)

ah chettt… eco paper that supposed can score well, i thought this sem. but for the carrymark was hopeless. i doubt about wan’s eco class wanna drop eco, all of them. i wonder whats the problem of eco lecs before and after us related to FSKM?

whats make all students taking eco talked about them? whats the history?

uhm well, lets make it simple.

EFFORTS+USHA+PRAY+TAWAKKAL=JAYA MAJU JAYA!

lets try our besh eco’s ~! weeeeeeeeeee~

p/s: i remember my mom said “alhamdulilah” last nyte after im saying that im having test today. erk~

Edit:
1. Look at Ashley Greene’s boobs zomg. Fucking gorgeous.

2. Isn’t it like the most megatronic power ranger awesome thing to have the same name as your bf? hey taylor. hey taylor. ilu taylor. ilu taylor. It’s awesome if your name and the bf’s alliterates or have the same initial o.o but zomg the same name y’all! taytay. i’m in a weird i luvv taylorswift and hellokitty phase. leave me alone.

Everyone is pressuring me to either go Zouk for some occasion or Zoukout.
Omg the immense pressure from peers. How?
Must listen to my teacher and apply what I learn in Moral Education.
Dont give in to peer pressure, be strong.

But got Armin leh!!

I just chatted with Wan online. I LURB YOU NONG TIME CHUA WAN RONG.
NUS keeps stealing her away, chao cheebye.
James steals Yan Yun away, knn.
Army steals Nick away, sibeh nau hia.

Heehee, i love how wan rong’s flair for the vulgar language increases steadily at a rate of 20833000 km/h when she’s in university.

É com grande satisfação que escrevo esse post, pois ele só poderia ser escrito nesse momento, quando terminei o curso para certificação cisco CCNA 3.1 que fiz no senac de Sto. Andre, como todos sabem as certificações cisco são uma das mais concorridas do mercado, e em grande parte por sua dificuldade, o que eu fiz foi um curso preparatório para tirar a certificação, mas o curso é uma previa do exame.

Para começar é um curso de 280 horas, eu fiz aos sábados, levei praticamente um ano ou quase isso para terminar, também em virtude da gripe suína que acabou interrompendo as aulas por um período, tivemos também um mês de férias em janeiro, mas mesmo assim é bastante tempo para um curso preparatório, isso se deve ao amplo conteúdo do curso.

O curso é bem legal para quem gosta da área de redes, temos acesso a roteadores e switchs cisco e podemos fazer miséria com eles, do tipo apagar o IOS e zoar toda a configuração, testando varias situações. Uma das coisas que achei bem puxada no curso é o nível de leitura, o curso tem quatro módulos e cada modulo tem mais ou menos 350 paginas de conteúdo altamente técnico, se quiser fazer o curso tem que estar disposto a ler bastante.

Outra coisa sobre o curso que preciso dizer é que você precisa passar nos módulos, não é daqueles cursos que a gente vai o instrutor passa o conteúdo e se você entendeu bem, senão também, tem provas, isso mesmo, provas entre os módulos, para ir para o modulo 2 por exemplo, tem que passar na prova do modulo um, e assim sucessivamente, para se ter uma ideia quando começou o curso tinha uns 22 alunos, no final terminaram 6, e segundo o professor, normalmente terminam quatro, e ele disse isso na primeira aula, essas coisas fazem o curso parecer um Big Brother em alguns momentos, por que digo isso, bem, você faz amizade com uma pessoa que senta ao seu lado, e ai vem a prova do modulo, você passa e tudo bem, ai vem a pessoa que senta ao seu lado e diz, falou cara! Não passei na prova, é meio estranho, mas fazer o que é a vida.

Na unidade do Senac que fiz o curso, em Sto. Andre, gostei bastante das instalações e do laboratório, ele é bem equipado, com roteadores e switchs, quando a gente vê o numero de equipamentos no inicio acha que são poucos, mas no decorrer do curso pelo motivo que disse no paragrafo anterior acaba sobrando roteador e as vezes cada um tem que configurar dois roteadores para o cenário proposto funcionar.

O conteúdo do curso também é muito bom e bastante abrangente, aprendemos desde conceitos básicos de rede, como camada OSI e calcular mascara de rede, até a configuração de roteadores e conceitos WAN como frame-relay, vemos também switch, VLSM, etc….

Recomendo o curso a quem quiser se aprofundar na área de redes ou tirar a certificação e estiver disposto a estudar para valer, da para aprender muita coisa e ampliar bastante os conhecimentos, a única coisa que não recomendo é fazer esse curso aos sábados, porque é todo sábado das 8:00 as 16:00, a gente fica o dia todo lá praticamente, e depois do almoço fica difícil acompanhar as aulas quando são de teoria, essa é a minha única ressalva, quem quiser saber mais é só acessar o site do senac e ver quando tem uma turma começando.

Not all Websites are available to anyone cruising the Net. Some are reserved for the private use of a single company’s employees and stakeholders. An intranet uses the same technologies as the Internet and the World Wide Web, but the information provided and the access allowed are restricted to the boundaries of a company-wide LAN or WAN. In some cases, suppliers, distribution partners, and key customers may also have access, but intranets are protected from unauthorized access through the Internet by a firewall, a special type of gateway that controls access to the local network. People on an intranet can get out to the Internet, but unauthorized people on the Internet cannot get in.

Possibly the biggest advantage of an intranet is that it eliminates the problem of employees’ using different types of computers within a company. On an Intranet, all information is available in a format compatible with Macintosh, PC, UNIX-based computers. The need to publish internal documents on paper is virtually eliminated because everyone can access the information electronically.

Besides saving paper, an intranet can save a company money in the form of employee hours. Employees can find information much faster and more easily by using a well-designed database on an intranet than by digging through a filing cabinet or card catalog. Some of the communication uses companies have for intranets include updating policy manuals, posting job openings and submitting job applications, accessing martketing and sales presentations from anywhere in the world, updating and managing employee benefits, accessing company records and databases, collaborating from anywhere in the  world to develop new products, scheduling meetings, setting up company phone directories, and publishing company newsletters. In fact, just about any information that can help employees communicate is a good candidate for an intranet. As video and audio technologies progress, you can expect to see more multimedia applications on intranets as well.

Det är knappast någon överdrift att säga att medievärlden aldrig varit så turbulent som nu. I krisens spår (stora annonstapp och upplagetapp), duggar nu nyheterna tätare än någonsin. Det vill säga nyheterna om snabba förändringar i mediebranschen.

Det senaste tuffa beskedet är från brittiska the Guardian, som efter att man sparkat 250 journalister nu går ut och söker deras ersättare – i bloggvärlden.

Ett intressant besked, bland annat med tanke på mitt resonemang i ett tidigare inlägg kring medborgarjournalister kontra vanliga journalister.

Vad är då skillnaden mellan vanliga journalister och medborgarjournalister? Är medborgarjournalistiken giftigare?

Nej knappast, men skillnaden är naturligtvis att en medborgarjournalist kan dölja sig bakom vilket ansikte som helst på allehanda möten och samlingar. Ett wallraffande utan förklädnad med andra ord.

“Det är dags att göra sig av med chefredaktören, skriver resume.se (2009-10-09),
Det säger tidningsbaronen David Montgomery på europeiska koncernen Mecom. Som ersättare vill han ha en innehållschef som förstår hur man kan kommersialisera vad som produceras på redaktionerna.”

På IFRA Expo i Wien handlar det också om det nya medielandskapet och Martha L Stone strategisk rådgivare på WAN-IFRA pratade sig varm för nischprodukter:
- One size fits all gäller inte längre. Nu gäller det att bryta ner på hyperlokal nivå. Läs mer och se en intervju med henne på medievarlden.se.

here is L drinking Miso soup from a lacquered Japanese soup bowl called Wan (椀). She loves Miso soup, so I usually bring it on the table after she ate enough food. Otherwise she only drinks Miso soup.  She holds the bowl very well, but…

This bowl is obviously too big for her, and her whole face is covered in it. My auntie in Japan is sending her the kid’s size bowl and I cannot wait for it to arrive in ZRH!
