I set Google to track our blog visitors, I thought it was worth sharing the map with you as we are covering networks at the moment.
As you can see from the map above, our blog has attracted visitors not just from Scotland but from most of the continents (no tracking data for Antarctica). This goes to show how the Internet is truly global and even posts to a small school blog can get picked up anywhere. This will partly form our discussion for network implications next week.
These are the notes I plan to use in class tomorrow. Continue reading Using Networks
I thought it was worth while spending a little bit of time looking over the topic 5 networking section before moving on to topic 6 “using networks”.
The slides I used in class are after the break.
Solid State Drives Vs Hard Disk Drive
SSDs are dropping in price and I thought it was worth looking at the differences between these two types of backing storage

It’s been a blizzard of slides this week, so I thought I would just put them all together and let you have a look. There are a number of posts from last year that have more detailed content. I will post a few over the next week.

We didn’t manage to get the to Strathclyde lecture this year but with the wonder of the Internet we can now watch the video online 😉

I wish the video showed a bit more of the lecture theater so you can get some idea of the size.
