by Vasil KolevToday I managed to get another copy of “No logo” (I had reserved it the day before in the “Penguins”). I really have no idea how low the total print of the books is, to be so hard to find (ok, I know that I’m somewhat responsible with the review I wrote, but come on…).
At the lecture in TU we managed to finish with the core explanations of the work in a console, about the shell scripting, etc, and showed some lines, that do some magic (like getting the list of unique shells from /etc/passwd). This time Delian Delchev was recording us with his camera, we’ll upload somewhere the recording after compressing it.
After that we went to the Club of the broken hearts, and discussed some of the problems about the lecture (like that we definitely need a bigger screen to project on, it’s not possible to see anything on this one), and a lot of other things – I managed to convince the people there that in the end it’s better for them to build their own network in the dormitories (the university is sponsoring them), not to outsource it to some company, etc. In the end, it’s not something hard, and they’ll have a chance to do something themselves, that they’ll use…. They told me some things about their networks, like how they don’t have DNS and DHCP, how the people there are supporting hosts files (helloooo, what year is this, 1980?). I wonder if it isn’t a good idea to write the core principles of building dormitory networks, and to put them on the walls of some of the blocks there, for the idea…
And a happy 8th of march to everyone in the female sex, who’s reading me :) Who doesn’t know what what this means – here’s an explanation.
