Lecturecast 2, Layers
This is the last chapter of theory stuff before we dive into cables and hubs. We cover the OSI model and I answer some questions from labs. The reading assignment for next week is Chapter 15.

Lab image fixed
The new Slax image is fixed. I’ve added the updated e1000e driver so the machines boot, can see the network, and have all the software we’ll need for the semester. At the next lab period, we’ll have a CD burning fiesta.
I’ll be posting the iso file on my W: drive soon. I need to get the directory unlocked and set read/write for my userid, but once that happens, there’ll be a copy of the iso local to the Randolph campus and you won’t have to wait forever while it downloads. I’ll post an update once the image is ready for download.
Feel free to burn your own disc before the lab.

Wednesday’s lab is a no go
Please don’t come to lab today, Wednesday 2 September 2009. The thing I wanted to do is not working and I’ll need some time to fix it.

Getting ready for Networks 1, Fall 2009
I’m working on cleaning up from last year’s teaching engagements at VTC and trying to get set for tomorrow. Can it be the beginning of a new school year already? Where did the summer go. The forums have been cleaned up and the hand outs updated for the new semester. Now I’ve got to get the lab ready to go.
Dermont dings 80!!!
Congratulations Dermont. The former Ironforge Sentinel gas hit the big eight oh. Good work Johnny. He’s working on the video now. I’ll post it when he gets it done.
Leveling Coldjack
I’m having a grand old time leveling another frost mage on WoW. I really enjoy the lower level content. The zones and quest lines in the old world are really well done. I’ve been trying to explore new zones and follow different story lines than other dwarf or gnome characters. Once I hit level 25 the world became very huge and there were a number of places to choose from.
While I’d like to see new content in the old world I don’t think there is a shortage of things for people to do whe leveling an alt or a new character on another realm.
Thinking about a merge
I’m maintaining two blogs, skoda.net and technewsvt.com and each had a different mission when I started them. Skoda.net is my information security, personal opinion, world of warcraft, and teaching blog. skoda.net is the central space for students in my Vermont Tech classes to get course materials and assignments.
Technewsvt.com was started as a technology news outlet for Vermont and a place to host a tech news weekly podcast.
I’m wondering about the idea of merging some or all of the content on the two blogs into one. I haven’t made up my mind one way or the other yet, but I’m not sure that running two blogs is sustainable.
