Creativity

The forces that motivate. A talent that is born in certain individuals regardless of the nature of the calling needs an outlet. An outlet in total free form, or within a given set of rules. Toward this end I want to engage all that are so inclined to expand creatively within a given set of rules. These can be leveraged against music, programming, writing, painting, and photography.
I will attempt to add examples of each discipline.
I claim not to know the answers, just to comment on the journey.
I feel the need to develop the left brain right brain synergy.

The ICMP protocol

Let's look into the ICMP protocol. Specifically, ping and traceroute. ICMP is the Internet Control Message Protocol and is a component of the IP Layer. Basically, used by hosts to communicate diagnostic network layer information that is carried in the IP payload. It communicates error messages which are acted on by the IP layer or the UDP or TCP protocols. All of the exercises were carried out using the open source network protocol analyzer "Wireshark". www.wireshark.org Describe in detail the protocols ARP and ICMP. ARP is the Address Resolution Protocol is similar to that of DNS. Where DNS resolves IP addresses to domain names, ARP resolves network layer IP addresses to link layer MAC addresses. In order to send a datagram the source must give the adaptor the IP address and the MAC address. For example, host A wants to send a packet to host B. Host A uses a cached ARP table to look up the IP address for any existing records of host B's MAC address. If the MA...

Router modes and channel impairments

What does it mean for a wireless network to be operating in "infrastructure mode?" Clients connected to a base station (an access point or router) are operating in infrastructure mode. They communicate indirectly through this access point or router which serves as a bridge to a wired network. Ad-hoc mode networks are networks that do not rely on a router or access point infrastructure. As a result, each client participates in the routing by forwarding data to the other connected clients. What are the differences between the following types of wireless channel impairments:  path loss, multipath propagation, interference from other sources? Multipath propagation is when packet loss occurs due to electromagnetic waves reflecting off of ground objects which then take paths of different lengths between sender and receiver. Interference from other sources happens when there is interference from radio sources transmitting in the same frequency band. Wireless phones and wirel...

:nth-child structural pseudo-class selectors

There are 4 pseudo-class expressions that are part of the :nth-child pseudo-class. Structural pseudo-class selectors target HTML elements based on the DOM tree. Basically, elements that cannot easily be targeted by simple selectors or combinations of selectors. What makes pseudo-classes so handy is the ability style elements dynamically based on its position in the DOM. :nth-of-type(N) :nth-last-child(N) :nth-child(N) :nth-last-of-type(N) :nth-of-type(N) selector My favorite of the 4 is the :nth-of-type(N) selector. The nth-of-type selector allows you to select child elements of a parent based on the particular type of the element, for example every 5th "li" element in a list. You can select even or odd elements, or the nth (order number) child in the group of elements. The class accepts the argument "n" which can can be a keyword, a number, or strings "odd", "even", or an expression "-n+3". Let's look at a simple but ef...
