These past few days, Jay and I have changed course a bit, and have been working on networks, and virtual machines. I set up my own little sub-net here at the loft, and been troubleshooting the occasional problems that come along. I have also set up my own DNS server on a virtual machine, and set up a domain as well. I just find it very interesting how data can travel physically through cables and such, and end up on a screen. That's where I met my friend, the OSI model. The seven layers, Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical, are quite fascinating to me.
I have been relieving some of my gaming withdrawal on Fridays too. I have been working from Sunday to Thursday so that I can work with Jay on Sunday, which has been working really well lately. The machine at work is luckily strong enough to play Counter-Strike: Source, and Left 4 Dead. It's nice to game on PC again... :D
I have also decided to get an iPod Touch! I'm really exited, and I love it! Being able to listen to music and podcasts (Suggestions please!). Applications are cool to look for, but I haven't bought any yet. I really hope that 16GB holds me over!
if ur looking for suggestions to music, i would suggest Between the Buried and Me and their album "colors". very good album. they sound amazing live, might be some stuff u might not have heard b4 but i think u would like it.

I also have completed my graduation and decided to work on networking side.Thank you so much for sharing the basic idea to OSI model(7 layers) on this site. It will really be helpful to me.
