Telegraphy and IP Routing: An Analogy
What do the telegram and modern day message routing have in common? Well… tons! packet routing and modern switch networks are a direct descendant of telegraphy. Message content is encoded in a protocol that can be send over the existing communication infrastructure and decoded by the intended recipient. And because it is too costly to have direct connections between every node on the network, messages make a number of hops before they reach their destination. The main difference is the speed at which the packets are routed at the switching nodes between the origin and the destination. Ever since communication has taken on this [...]
Response: ANDREAS ANGELIDAKIS
This drawing is a work in progress response to Andreas Angelidakis’s Villa Angelo. Text to be added will center around the imprisonment of light within a lantern. and a description of how the light shakes and rattles its cage when someone is beneath the lantern.
Redial Midterm
Redial Midterm – Documentation ============================== ### The Idea What happens differently in a realtime technology mediated conversation, like a phone call, versus a non-realtime conversation like text messaging. Do you ask different questions if you are not immeditely in someone’s presence? How does your answer change if you have time to think about it. I created a system based on Asterisk and the Ruby-AGI where you can dial a number and ask a “friend” a question. The serivice will then call your friend, ask the question and call you back with their response. ### The Architecture The System is contained [...]
Temperature Sensor Network
The temperature sensor network homework assignment was realized as part of the my final group project for sensitive buildings. We placed 4 sensor nodes in 4 different areas of 240 CPS. 2 with temperature(TMP-36) and 2 with temperature and humidity(HIH-4030) sensors. These sensors were attached to xbee series 2 radios programmed as end nodes on PAN-ID: AAAA and with destination address 0 so that they would send information over the network back to the ConnectPort coordinator node (an internet gateway). The ConnectPort was programed to take data coming from these specific radios and pass it to our server so that [...]
