| 01:03.34 | han_solo | brailsmt_: you there? |
| 01:11.12 | brailsmt_ | yup |
| 01:11.28 | han_solo | feel like proofing my paper? |
| 01:11.56 | brailsmt_ | sure... I still have to finish mine... maybe reading yours will give me an idea of what to write... |
| 01:12.10 | han_solo | ok. jas |
| 01:12.51 | han_solo | you at home? |
| 01:13.08 | brailsmt_ | this 345 class sure seems more relevant now that it is in linux... |
| 01:13.10 | brailsmt_ | yes |
| 01:13.45 | han_solo | http://hans.fugal.net/tmp/research1.ps |
| 01:24.59 | brailsmt_ | looks good, I didn't notice anything wrong with it... (though I now feel the my paper is entirely inadequate) :| |
| 01:25.46 | brailsmt_ | oh wait... |
| 01:26.18 | brailsmt_ | before your bulletted list you have "(selected from ):" should there be a reference or something there? |
| 01:26.29 | han_solo | ;-) |
| 01:26.41 | han_solo | yeah. I'm ahead of ya there. |
| 01:26.45 | brailsmt_ | :) |
| 01:27.01 | brailsmt_ | i know so little about networks, that I don't even know where to begin with this assignment... |
| 01:27.52 | han_solo | i asked dr. clement, he said reading an rfc and talking about what you learned was fine |
| 01:27.56 | brailsmt_ | so I just picked the ftp server, becuase it lost "eeny meeny mynee moe" |
| 01:28.04 | han_solo | I took the approach of tackling a problem, since I'm not good at just 'describing what you learned' |
| 01:28.06 | brailsmt_ | :) |
| 01:29.32 | brailsmt_ | i can't say that i took an approach |
| 01:29.54 | brailsmt_ | other than, "lets see, I have a paper due today...hrmm..." |
| 01:30.19 | han_solo | let me know if you want me to proof yours |
| 01:30.21 | han_solo | heh |
| 01:30.52 | han_solo | well, it's only 1%. who needs an approach for 1%? :) |
| 01:30.54 | brailsmt_ | i took this class because it is my biggest weak point in computers, atm, and i wanted to make myself more marketable |
| 01:31.21 | brailsmt_ | oth, I took 428 because it really, really insterests me |
| 01:31.41 | brailsmt_ | i couldn't think of way to tie software engineering and networking together... |
| 01:31.48 | brailsmt_ | s/oth/otoh |
| 01:32.03 | brailsmt_ | and I stated as much in my paper... |
| 01:32.13 | brailsmt_ | which is only about 2/3 complete... |
| 01:32.29 | brailsmt_ | 345 is just too much fun to stop... |
| 01:34.13 | brailsmt_ | i wonder if he'll take a dvi... he pretty much dared us to send him a format he can't read... though I doubt that a professor that uses linux doesn't have a way to read dvis |
| 01:35.50 | brailsmt_ | you know how to do references in latex? |

| 01:41.16 | brailsmt_ | oh, I wonder how i did that... |
| 01:41.56 | brailsmt | oh... now i know... :) |
| 01:45.40 | han_solo | yeah |
| 01:45.50 | han_solo | i thought about sending a dvi too |
| 01:46.57 | brailsmt_ | i'm going to, he seems to be the type that will send it back saying "hey, send me a format i can read" |

| 01:50.00 | brailsmt_ | and a laptop instead of a trolley |
| 01:50.46 | brailsmt_ | i got a kick out of his comment about "do not look into the fiber with your remaining eye" :) |

| 03:20.42 | han_solo | yup |
| 03:22.24 | han_solo | looks good |
| 03:23.07 | brailsmt_ | btw i spell checked it since i posted it... |
| 03:23.10 | han_solo | seems to end a bit abruptly |
| 03:23.15 | brailsmt_ | yeah... |
| 03:23.32 | brailsmt_ | i have no idea how to tie it all up... :| |
| 03:23.36 | brailsmt_ | writers block... |
| 03:23.40 | han_solo | wow, I'm getting dull. I didn't even catch the spelling errors |
| 03:24.30 | han_solo | what do you think of ftp, in summary? |
| 03:24.43 | brailsmt_ | spelling is easy to check, its things like "it seems to end abruptly" that are the harder things for the writer to catch |
| 03:24.59 | brailsmt_ | it seems pretty simple, really |
| 03:25.08 | brailsmt_ | there are only a few commands.. |
| 03:25.14 | brailsmt_ | I didn't get too deep into it |
| 03:25.17 | han_solo | what overarching thing did you learn in the research? what would a german shepherd do? |
| 03:25.32 | brailsmt_ | i didn't read the official spec, I will do that for the next paper |
| 03:26.07 | han_solo | i think a sentence or two tying it up would solve the ends abruptly thing. something summarizing... |
| 03:26.50 | brailsmt_ | my paper seems kinda pointless... i still don't know a whole lot about how ftp works, just the syntax for the commands which a server must respect as well as some of the return codes... |
| 03:27.26 | brailsmt_ | though it was cool to read the ftp is used in satellite communications... |
| 03:29.06 | brailsmt_ | btw, I used BibTeX for the bibliography... bibtex is pretty cool... |
| 03:29.32 | han_solo | cool. |
