I had a cheese sandwich this morning. As I was eating it, I thought it was bland. I then stuffed some TNT in with the cheese. Feeling that this was still quite bland, I dipped it in petrol. The sandwich lacked colour so I coated it in liquid uranium 239. All was going well with the deblandification until I stuck a lit sparkler into it. I caused a nuclear explosion 400 times the size of Hiroshima and flattened most of Berkshire.

Last night I went to see A.I. which was actually not bad up until the last 30 minutes or so which I found immensely depressing and quite dull. It basically goes downhill from the point where Jude Law exits the film, after which the scriptwriters must have gone on strike as there's not really any more dialog. The little robot kid spends 2000 years in a block of ice, which is not unlike the feeling you have yourself upon leaving the cinema. Also vaguely reminiscent of Marvin the Paranoid Android from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (who, if you recall, outlasted existence itself by a factor of 2.5, waiting in a car park). The best character was definitely the teddy bear, who was very great indeed. My advice - go see it (maybe), but leave early.

Wow such much nerdiness... and now for some more...

1) 10 Points to me for pointing out that the TCP/IP stack is a FIVE layer model based around the OSI 7 Layer model.
2) Subnets. Right. Jon's got it about right I think without re-reading it all. :-)
A subnet is really just a subSET of the total address space available. The most common divisions are Class A, B and C (16Million, 65K and 256 hosts each).

When a device (A) wants to talk to another device (B), it first looks in it's routing table to see how it should deliver the packet. If it sees that B is in the same subnet as itself, it will use the MAC address (hardware level) to deliver the packet. If not, it will send the packet onto a router. Needless to say, that router MUST be in the same subnet as the host or we're stuffed.

In this context, the subnet mask is used to make the decision whether B is local or not. XOR i think?! Whatever.

The complex bit comes when we choose subnet masks that "chop up" the address space some more. Say an ISP gives us a Class C address (256 address -> 254 hosts + 1 network address and 1 broadcast address), we can chop this up into smaller networks by creating a mask which makes more bits belong to the network definition, and less to the host part of the address. So, instead of a 24 bit mask [255.255.255.0] for a class C, we get say 27 bits [255.255.255.240] for 16 networks of 14 hosts.

Why is this useful? Well, if we need to use a filtering router (firewall) between hosts, but we want to use the same superset address range, you could see how we could simply split it all up as required.

I've probably not done this justice here, actually. I'll look up some good resources and post the URLS here.

You've been very helpful.
What/who decided when to use a router/gateway? The node or the router/gateway?
dsp
- Fri Sep 14 16:23:10 2001

If you were to actually say what the whole problem was then I can help more. To give me more info do a "netstat -rn" in dos or unix and do an "ifconfig -a" in unix or "ipconfig /all" in dos. This gives a much better idea of how your network works. Also if it's only 1 machine having a problem getting to another (but all other machines can get to it) then it can just be the arp cache. To delete the arp cache do an arp -d. It's always nice to destroy this as it really annoys network engineers when you do it to a box with about 200 concurrent connections.
Jon E
- Fri Sep 14 16:14:11 2001

With physical moves, it's always worth double checking that you didn't have a cross over cable connected to something which you've moved onto something else. Saying that any half decent switch / router will uncross the cross-over.
Jon E

10 points to anyone who notices the mistake in the last paragraph.
Jon E
- Fri Sep 14 16:07:37 2001

Tim, you can reorder the physical network however you like as long as the Switches and gateways have not been "tweaked". For example my switch knows which machine is on the end of a piece of wire, because when it gets turned on it asks that machine. However some people seem to think it's a good idea to tell the switch / gateway that a certain machine will always be on the end of that wire. (Actually this is MAC addresses and has nothing to do with the a.b.c.d notation, however it is part of the TCP/IP ISO 7 Layer network topology diagram). It is highly gay to have done this. Which is why Tom Rowan probably has.
Jon E
- Fri Sep 14 16:07:10 2001

That's because we were all on the same subnet. 10.1.1.x (Class C subnet) I.P.s if I remember correctly.
Jon E
- Fri Sep 14 16:02:40 2001

Tim, yes and no. Depending on the default router on the host machine or indeed any special routing rules. For example I can set my machine so that anything for the 10.250.1.x net goes to the router at 10.250.100.1 and anything for the 10.250.2.x net goes to the 10.250.100.2 net.

Do subnet masks determine when packets are sent to routers?
i.e. This does not match my subnet, fuck, router, can you help?
ps. Would reorganising a physical network require re-allocating subnet masks?
dsp
- Fri Sep 14 15:18:07 2001

A subnet mask allows a network to be mentally and possibly even physically split into organisable areas. It allows (for example) for all your unix servers to be on one subnet, and your NT Servers to be on another. To get from the NT servers to the Unix servers you'd have to cross the subnets for example using a gateway or router. (Tom will probably diss all this and tell me I'm wrong). Another example which is more interesting, is my webservers, currently are on 4 Class C networks I.e. I have 4 ranges for them 10.250.1.x, 10.250.2.x, 10.250.3.x and 10.250.4.x, and due to the way the firewall and Local Director is all set, my 10.250.1.xs are on my primary external range. 10.250.2.x are on the secondary external. 10.250.3.x are on the Primary for Internal and 10.250.4.x is all a service net which is where each machine talks to each other within that little net. From this I have 4 different switches, which are used 1 per net. Making it so that In theory at least internal users will not comprimise external users in terms of network capacity. Basically it's all pointless, but it makes for very pretty diagrams.

Well Tim, I've had a bash at it - not sure if I've fully understood what you asked for though! You can download the updated version of Photo Studio directly, plus I also made an online demo

Oooh, yeah, and the rectangle bits could be image maps
to the adjacent image, so you could walk across the image!

Awww thanks Tim. Say, wouldn't it be nice to have an option to render the overlapping bordery bits in grayscale or something, you know like in map books...?

John: regarding your earlier question,
I reckon you're right,
But I'd love the feature as part of
your friendly program that I am familiar
and delighted to use.
And you're 70% there already, HTML generation,
thumbnails, stiching thumbnails together to
make bigger pics, come on John!
Just thought it would be nice, that's all.
ps. Could it also specify the number of pixels overlap
on the lower levels?

Tim - regarding your earlier suggestion about image maps - isn't there software already that does this..?
John

But its clearly the lowest odd prime number that isn't one.

It's neither 2, nor 4, but somewhere inbetween.

Oi! Mystery messager!
What's so unconventional about three-columns??
dsp

Tim - very nice. 3 columns - unconventional. I like it. Say, what a great app that must be to allow you to do something slightly different to what the author originally intended.

Just want to say that I have recently used PhotoStudio to manipulate photo-graphs of my friend Angie's wedding. These a clearly visible at: this location.

I would just like to mention the fact that Tim is here. Hi there, how are you? you missed a 9 out of 10 barbie. Also I've seen Kylie's new vid and love it. Tim, I fucking love you.

John: how feasible is this??
Suppose you have a high resolution massive image (jpeg)
Some software that (new feature for PhotoStudio)
creates an html-image-mapped zoomed-out image that links to
small divisions of the original massive image.
Such a tool could be used to divide high-res ariel pictures into
browsable maps.
For absolutely huge images, it could work on several levels,
allowing you to zoom-in closer and closer.
Just a thought.

Good morning!
I'm home after my trip to Tenerife!
And its a typical crappy September day.
Still, at least I'm not dead.

I am the Hobby Lion. You must all create a new hobby for today. However, it will not be as good as my new hobby. It is far superior. Firstly take a stapler, and then get a cup from a vending machine. Now drink your weak lemon drink. DRINK IT. Staple the cup to the end of a ruler. Place the Stapler under the ruler in the middle. Now you have a catapult to hurl your hot beverages at your work collegues. Or if they are friends you can hurl your weak lemon drink.
