My soul is asleep…

I got up at 8, because I couldn’t sleep more, and woke up Dachev in the early morning, to start cabling in Studentski grad. I put my laptop and some stuff in the backpack, and went there.

This was really traumatizing experience. In the way they’re making their network I won’t make the network for my worst enemy – holes in the windows, cables outside along the clothes-hangers, climbing on the gratings (this wasn’t done by, and was fun), etc… Their organizing is almost invisible (and missing). Thank god, they have plans to fix the whole cabling and the second and third layers of their network.
(on the same topic – does somebody have any idea in which entity can the plans for the buildings in Studentski grad be found?)

In the evening we drew with dia a logical network map, it looks horrible. It will be a lot worse, if you draw the cabling in the different buildings… While we were having lunch (for me it was breakfast) (there wasn’t paunch soup!) it turned out that one of the not-too-many ways for the network to be used fully by its users is to have RIP running on the clients, to make them receive all of their routing (they can’t have a default gateway, because it has problems with using VPNs to the ISPs in their network).

I’ll say this in the lecture, and here – people, if you live in Studentski grad (in blocks 41,42,50,51,52,53,54,55, all of the blocks of SU), if you have the knowledge, time and desire, please contact your networks’ admins (www.studgrad.net), and join the building. Last year some groups had good course papers on building dormitory networks, now they have the chance to do it love :) There aren’t a lot of places where you can experiment with live users :)

Now I have to go to Nikolay Nedyalkov’s birthday, I hope I won’t fall asleep on some table :) The two cups of coffee that I drank really didn’t help. I don’t feel really adequate, too…

(and I’m publishing this through a SSH tunnel, who knows how many people are listening to this network, we’ve taught network security to a lot of people… )
