internetstudies

i have looked at different chat sites

i have found that MSN was the easiest to use

never being one to use  chat i looked for simplicity in the program and found that with MSN. Msn was simple to sign up to

and once you added people to your user group it was so easy to tell who was around to have a chat with.

i have now discovered how useful chatting can be

well played around with ICQ chat today but decided to stick to msn chat to complete this task.

logged into to msn chat and one of my NED11 classmates was on line had a great chat about our assignment that was due on 18/4

ust dont do real11 hahaha ice@skins4webs.com says:for at least a year hahahaangela says:no i ahve taken your advise and picked ned12 for next semester only doing one subject this time

ice@skins4webs.com says:nened12 or net12?angela says:

ned 12it was great having a chat

i found it alot easier as you get responses as you go rather than posting something and awaiting a reply

What are the Pros and Cons of email lists v’s discussion boards?

Email Lists
As per the study notes supplied, a list automatically allows the distribution of email to groups of people that have consented to receiveing those messages and have the right to send mail to others. The aim is to be able to share information that interests members on the list.
Mail is sent to a lists address and from there the mail is sent out to the people who have subscribed to the list

Newsgroups or Discussion Boards
Newsgroups are places on the Internet where people can contribute to a discussion by leaving a message of interest.
Newsgroups exist on thousands of topics and are useful for building online communities and bringing people together with similar interests. They are like an electronic notice board. There are thousands of newsgroups that cover many different topics

• Information of interest is emailed directly to you
  
• Members of the lists actually want to be on the lists, this creates better communication between the members
  
• Can unsubscribe from a list
  
• Lists are monitored

Lists – Cons

• Lists have rules regarding certain types of information
  
• Can receive a lot of spam when subscribing to a list
  
• Have a responsibility when subscribing to a list
  
• The information that you post can be read by many different people even if you only want to direct to certain groups.
  
• Can fill up your inbox quite quickly
  

Newsgroups – Pros

• Newsreaders provide search functions, this allows you to sort through a list of groups and find the one that best suits your needs
  
• Newsgroups can either be moderated or open depending on the requirements of the newsgroup
  
• An Internet browser is often the only program required to participate in an online discussion
  
• Newsgroups bring people together who share common interests
  
• Gauge public opinion or strength of feeling about certain topics or interest
  

Newsgroups – Cons

• Can contain innappropriate content for some readers
  
• Can contain sexually related images that are inappropriate for some readers
  
• It is easy for children to download images and participate in sometimes inappropriate discussions
  
• Can be the victim of ‘flaming’
  

Are there certain kinds of communication or purposes more suited to one than the other?

In my limited experience, discussion boards are better suited to people who want to log in and participate in a discussion when they feel like it. When you are a member of an email list, you automatically recieve information in your inbox that you then have to wade through to see if there is anything of any interest to you. The thread in discussion boards seems much easier to follow and you do not have to respond if the subject if it is of no interest to you or you have limited time.

Lists seem better suited to people who like to share their thoughts on a particular interest or subject. When you subscribe to an email list it can quickly fill up your inbox and this can create problems when trying to identify what is of interest to you and what is not.

Because of the time factor and the fact that the threads are easier to follow, I much prefer to use discussion boards like the one that we have set up in this course.

1.What information about a user’s email, the origin of a message, and the path it took, can you glean from an email message? origin of message:

is the identification of where the email came from/ the header of the email  the time and date of when the email was sent and a subjectusually the address which it was sent from. ie username @ domain name user name- the person identitydomain- online email provider

 2.In what cases would you find it useful to use the ‘cc’, ‘bcc’ and ‘reply all functions of email?

 cc-Use this to send a copy of your message to someone other than the original recipient for example if you need to send minutes of a dirctors board meeting you would send the document to the director and cc all other parties that attended the meeting

BCC: when a copy is sent to a recipient without the original addressee knowing.  Reply all- Use this to send a message or a reply to every recipient of the original message.

 3.In what ways can you ensure that an attachment you send will be easily opened by the receiver?

You can ensure that the recipient has the same or compatible software to that with which the attachment was created. If you are unsure if the recipient has a compatible computer or software, then you can send documents as plain text (ASCII) that is compatible with multiple applications

4.What sorts of filters or rules do you have set up, and for what purpose?

The email program I use has a spam filter already installed anyone that slips through this filter I put into my block sender list so when they send another email there email is automatically bounced back to them

Q5. How have you organised the folder structure of your email and why?

I have organized my folder structure as follows- I have a personal section- in this folder I keep general emails- I have different folders for people I get majority of my emails from eg I have a kids school folder where I keep all correspondence I receive from my kids school and newsletters- I have a spam folder this is where all the junk email goesI find having different folders work very well for me it takes less time to search for a email and I feel more organized with emails being not only sorted by dated but by categories

another day another task

FTP

as per instructions in this module i downloaded the file which seemed quite easy

what i had a problem with was the password had to go to the virtual help site a few times until i relised i just need to use ANONYMOUS as the user name and no password

did that and i was in

 ”according to the read me file “CAPATILZATION” matters

this looked like it was going to be a difficult excercise but turned our quite easy

snap shot of what was on the screen

 ATTENTION MAC, OS/2, MS-DOS and MS-WINDOWS users:

This server runs on a unix platform, so CAPITALIZATION MATTERS!
A file named  “file.txt” IS NOT THE SAME as “FILE.TXT”
——————————————————————-
* Converting and compressing files:

Sailor’s ftp server can compress files on the fly, using
the following forms of compression and file extensions:

compression method       extension
——————      ———
GNU zip (gzip)           .gz
unix compress            .Z
info-zip                 .zip

The info-zip format is compatible with PKZIP, popular on many
MS-DOS, MS-Windows and Windows ‘95 systems.

All compression techniques require you to set your transfer mode
to BINARY.

Getting a file with a particular compression type is as simple
as asking for it.  For example, if you want to get the file
“wifrb10.txt” in gzip format, use the following commands:

(The server’s response is left out here)

    ftp> binary
    ftp> get wifrb10.txt.gz

For compatibility with file systems that allow only “8.3″
file names, (or systems that allow only one dot in a filename),
our server is configured to allow you to replace the
“.txt” extension with the extension of the compressed file. 
For example, to get the file above, with an 8.3 file name,
you could have issued the commands:

    ftp> binary
    ftp> get wifrb10.gz

For files with an extension other than “.txt”, this method
will not work – however, your ftp client will probably allow
you to specify the local filename on the command line – so,
to get the file “INDEXALL.GUT” in zip format with a “.zip”
extension, you would use these commands:

    ftp> binary
    ftp> get INDEXALL.GUT.zip indexall.zip

Since many web browsers don’t allow you to get ftp files that
don’t appear in the listings, we have included the .zip files
in the Gutenberg archives.

if you are doing this subject and are nott on here feel free to comment and i will add you on

what a interesting site this was

alot of questions can be asked of this site

how was this done??

how do you create such a site????

an amazing way to display words

its a very simple site but looks amazing

 i found it a real task to read the scrolling letters 

what i have learnt from these two excercises is that telenet is a great option for searching data/catalogues

there are different ways of displaying data on telenet and once you can established how to use it it is quite userfriendly
