What did Jesse Jackson Say?

admin — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:33:43 +0000

Ok what’s the big deal about Jesse Jackson saying he is sick of Barrack Obama talking down to black people, and he wants to cut his nuts off? Is this all that bad I think this would make for good TV. You mean to tell me Jesse Jackson didn’t know the microphone was on? He has been around TV all his life. What is his motive is he upset that Barrack Obama is times as popular as he was as a political figure and he is taking his spotlight?

James Van Praagh Pyschic or Crazy?

Does James Van Paraah really see dead people? I think it is amazing how you able to convice people into believe almost anything you tell them. He is so convincing I guess you can compare it to a really good salesman being able to sell ice to an eskimo. James Van Paraagh has written several books and has several Tv productions about his pyschic abilities but although he has many people who believe his abilities you will always have skeptics. Do you think he really has a special gift or just crazy? You be the judge.

Griffin Vs Rampage Jackson Fight

Tonight the two coaches of the last ultimate fight will square off in the octagon. Forrest Griffin will tangle with the nasty hard hitting Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. There is no love lost between these fighters and it sure will be a bloody battle for the light heavyweight title of the UFC. Forrest Griffin has great submission but will have to avoid the hard striking ability of Rampage Jackson.

Griffin VS Jackson Results

Well Forrest Griffin took the championship belt away from Quinton Jackson. There was not much rampage in Jackson last night as Griffin was hurt and knocked down a few times in the first but was able to stay away from the big strike of Jackson. Griffin had Rampage in trouble in the second round and was able to mount him and deliver several strikes. Griffin big weapon though through the night was his vicious leg kicks in which one of them hurt the leg of Jackson.

The fight could have went either way in my opinion and we are likely to see a rematch. Mixed Martial Arts has come a long way and the UFC put on a great fight and we hope to see more fights like these in the future.

The Bucket List with Morgan Freeman

admin — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:43:58 +0000

I watched the movie the Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman and was produced by Rob Reiner. It was a nice movie with some cute moments and a heartfelt ending. It was basically about two men who are dying of cancer who make a list of things they want to do before the die. This movie won’t win an academy awards or anything it is more like a simple idea that was made into a movie. I wouldn’t go run out and get this movie but it is a nice second or third choice in my opinion.

Social Networks rule the world

admin — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:52:19 +0000

Ok it seems like everyone is part of a social network of some sort. Is it changing the internet as we know it? You have myspace which basically started out as popular place for teens to chat and post information about themselves, now facebook has taken over as the most visited social network. Of course with the popularity if myspace and facebook you are going to have tons of followers trying to capitalize on the popularity of these networks. You have more targeted networks like active rain which is the top real estate community social network. Will these sites stand the test of time or are they just a stepping stone to something bigger and better?

Celtics win 17th Championship

Celtics champions again

Celtics won their 17th championship in defeated the Los Angeles Lakers
in six games. Paul Pierce was the series MVP and looked like he wanted to win
this championship more than anyone on the court. Pierce a lifelong Celtic has
been through best and worse of times with the Celtics but now has a ring to secure
his own place in Celtic history.The Boston big three of Garnett,Pierce and Allen helped
turn the Celtics into the best nba basketball team and was the single biggest one year
turnaround in nba history.

The days of Rick Pitino and the recent woes for the past twenty years seem to be over and yes Rick Pitino you are right Larry Bird, Kevin Mchale, and Robert Parrish are not walking through that door but
Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce are though.

When we will run out of oil?

Dan_N — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:02:48 +0000

Why is the price of gas so high? I still have not seen anyone come out with a definitive reason of why.
How much oil really is left in the world? Basic Economics say when supply is low and demand is high then prices will increase, well Saudi Arabia does not want to increase the supply saying that there is no need. Is it possible Saudi Arabia does not have as much oil as we may think? I have seen stats that we have a forty year supply of oil in the world. If this is true that is scary so in forty years there is going to be life without oil? Do the experts even know for sure I mean every country seems to not give the real stats on their countries oil supply.

Wireshark Network Protocol Analyzer forum

admin — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 11:05:39 +0000

Wireshark is a free network protocol analyzer that can capture network packets that can be analyzed. This incredible free software is what every network engineer should have to analyze network problems.

I don’t know how to thank the www.wireshark.org team for this invaluable tool. A friend of mine has setup a forum for just Wireshark questions and answers at Wireshark Forum

A Wireshark forum is just what this product needs for questions and answers. Find helpful ideas from Wireshark experts that have used this product. Having a problem troubleshooting a problem I’m sure someone has run into the same issue and can help.

This tool is developed and maintained by the Wireshark organization. This product can be commercially used to help isolate network problems. I find it also helps to better understand what really happens on the network cable.

Wireshark helps analyze and break out many different protocols TCPIP, UDP, Apple, HTTP, and many many more protocols. Runs on several different operating Systems, you can get a list from Wireshark,org website.

I’ve used it as a learning tool such as what happens when I ping another IP address on my own cable and on different IP subnets. What happens when I ping a node by its domain name, watching it go to DNS to lookup a domains IP address. You’d be surprised at what really happens on the network. A great leaning experience analyzing packets. Just when you think you know what you’re doing, capture some packets with Wireshark and you will be saying to yourself oh I didn’t know it worked like that or I forgot that’s how the protocol worked. Wireshark will straighten you out and you just leaned something.

You can setup capture filters to capture packets of any specific protocol. Let’s say you have a busy Server and it’s got many different protocols running on it, but you want to see just the DNS traffic, you can setup a filter to just capture DNS packets. Or lets say want to capture packets between your server and another IP address, you can easily capture packets between your server and a clients IP address by just applying a filter for the clients IP address.

You think you might have retransmits easily found with Wireshark by its color coding. It will highlight different problems with a different color that are easily spotted.

There’s nothing better than to walk into a meeting discussing slow response from a Server. Handing out Wireshark printouts showing there are TCPIP retransmits that contribute to the slow server they are trying to troubleshoot.
