Routers, Switches, Servers, PCs, Hosts. And a bit of Comm skills.

DAMN IT!

Can't believe... I got class tomorrow.
Well... Everyone has classes tomorrow...

What I meant was...
I cannot believe, I have classes from 8:30 am to 9:30 pm !!!

HELLO?!?!?! LABOUR DAY IS COMING?
And I still get tortured like this.

The best part though, is that I actually have classes from 10 am to 6 pm normally on Tuesday. With a 2 hour tutorial from 10 to 12. Followed by a gey 4 hour break, just for some stupid 2 hour lecture from 4 to 6.

Of course, the class petitioned for a new timetable. And the management shifted the lecture to start at 1 pm and end at 3 pm.

Great relief and lesser waste of humane time.

Then because of Labour Day on Thursday, my night class, which was actually on Thursdays, is shifted down to Tuesdays just for this week.

So my night class starts at 6:40 pm tomorrow. So yet again, another near 4 hour break from 3 pm to 6:40 pm.

Sucks.

Schools really have their ways of twisting the timetable.

Not to mention I need to type out a resume for Comm Skills, and finish up Networking Project & Case Study 3 before the end of this week.

Work is piling up like how a person with diarrhoea releases his bowels in the toilet bowl.

Ok... that was.. not really... very describing. But, you get the point.

Nana just went back for jungle warfare yesterday. Had a LAN session of CS before we sent him off at Pasir Ris. Friendly Fire was turned on and I cannot explain how FUN it was!

1 Arctic Magnum Sniper Rifle shot at your team mates would definitely be "fun". Although playing in those night maps did cause a bit of.. casualties. Good training of teamwork! Even though I would have preferred Dota for training of teamwork. It's like 1-2 months since I last played. I'm becoming nubbie gradually. Its like CS everytime we go LAN.

Not to mention I'm sick and tired of B11, B13, B16, B33, B41, B42, B43, B44, B45, B46, O2, O3, O4 and O5. Not forgetting the rapid pressing of the "," and "." keys for ammo.

I need to do double kills, some triple kills and a bit of being godlike!
(I'm still nub though. You'll most probby pawn my head for a few 10 grand of gold.)

I NEED TO LAN SOME DOTA!! PLEASE CALL ME OUT FOR MORE DOTA AND LESS CS!!!

Well then, back to another boring part of the topic.

I guess not many people know what I do in school now. With the exception of :

• Walking around.
• Looking at girls. (O.O Should have kept that secret. >.<)
• Getting free air-con.
• Eat, drink and slack in lectures.
• Jokes, more jokes and even more jokes.
• Riddles, more riddles and even more riddles.
• Just plain walking around.
• Still walking around.

For those that don't know, I'm doing Networking and Security. You know. Routers, switches, servers and those stuff. Speaking of which, I just finished a mock test question using this program, called Packet Tracer.

Apparently, this program is... the one and only program I'll be using this semester, except:

• Windows Live Messenger
• Mozilla Firefox
• Internet Explorer
• Microsoft Word
• Microsoft Powerpoint
• Adobe Acrobat Reader
• CitectSKADA

Yeah. That's about it. I did feel it would be nice to understand what Haziq does when he has "Wacomming".

Heck, I don't even know what's that.

Basically, this program creates a virtual view of how a connection in a company would look like, to your liking / standards / requirements.

One example of how a completed network would look:
In the picture, the round objects are the routers, the cubes are switches, the long retangular box is the server and the computers are... Well, computers. DUH!

And to summarize what codings are done inside, here are a few pics.

When all stuff goes well, the routers tell you that a specific protocol is up and running as highlighted.


And the best part that you get at the end, is when the various PCs can successfully ping with each other.


And there you have it. Your brief tutorial on Packet Tracer!

How gey though. I'll get some alive and kicking pictures soon. Which is when someone gets me, or fund me a Canon D40 camera.
