Week 8 Notes

You can use HTML and CSS to customize your text, create tables, set background images and all sorts of fun stuff. I wanted to make this whole post blink using CSS, but I don't think that it works with blogger, probably because it would be REALLY annoying.

The article on Content Management Systems' use in libraries gave a good explanation of some of the limitations of HTML. The CMS provided consistency and flexibility to GSU's research guides. It made think about sites like this one. It's a form based system. It's customizable. Is it a CMS?

Week 7 Muddiest Point

In class you discussed whether or not websites we access using a neighbor's wireless connection detect our IP or our neighbor's. I didn't quite catch what the answer was. It's not for me, I have this friend who was wondering, ok?

Week 6 Muddiest Point

When we talked about the asymmetrical nature of Internet connections, it made me wonder about how this affects a system like Cable Internet. For example, neighbors share the same internet connection, and when everyone in my neighborhood is downloading at the same time, it will slow down my download speed. BUT, if everyone in the neighborhood is DOWNLOADING at the same time, will it slow down my UPLOAD speed?

Week 7 Notes

The interesting thing, to me, about the Internet is how organic it is. It's made up of a number of local networks that are all connected to each other at network access points. There does not seem to be any overarching structure or administration aside from the Internet Society. Traffic is directed by routers, and for the most part, everything runs smoothly. Different companies agree to share the same networks. It's interesting to compare this with traffic infrastructure, which is closely administered, yet runs far less smoothly.
