I have spent the entire duration of my college career (a mere 5.5 years) working for various campus groups while I completed my degree in Computer Science. I started out by serving an unrewarding semester for ResNet, the student computer support group. After that, I worked for the campus ACM and eventually moved on to working for the Engineering IT help-desk, where day to day tasks included, but weren't limited to, refilling/debugging printers, helping faculty connect to shared drives, and basically sifting through phone calls to save my managers a few hours during the day.
Here's How:
Connections
General Tab
Security Layer: FROM RDP security layer TO Negotiate
Encryption Level: FROM FIPS TO low
Sessions Tab
Unchecked: Override user settings (When session limit is reached or connection is broken: )
I am actually blogging about my own blog...
Drupal is a popular content management system (CMS); that is, an online system for easily creating pages of information to display to its users.
Who Uses Drupal?
Drupal.org is built on Drupal. And here is a great list of their own case studies.
I have been working on the College of Engineering, Natural Sciences, and Forestry website for a few weeks throughout the semester. Recently, we started working on the little details like adding forms that people can fill out and submit.
I have created this new category for blogging about projects or other computer oriented topics that display a particular level of intelligent design. For example, a graphic user interface (GUI) that simply works really well. Or, complaining about how ridiculous Microsoft's design is and how much better I could have done if I had written it. More to follow...
It is important for us all to understand that modern day computing machines are actually systems of systems built on top of each other. A computer processor has microchips around it that understand how to communicate with it, there are chips around that which run software, there is software that loads into memory and runs core functionality; software runs on top of that and depends on software running in other places. Software runs on top of other software; enough rambling.
Design:
My plans for the costume were to cover a wetsuit in a tight fitting silver mesh, then to attach snap on plates of molded rubber armor through the mesh on to the wetsuit. The helmet would also snap together on the inside as it would be a much thicker and harder rubber. The gloves would have to be hand crafted and the boots would have to be similar to the ones used in the movie, but then modified to match more closely. The belt would also be made of a hard molded rubber and spray painted gold or silver.
The Idea:
I found a tutorial online of how to make a clock out of a hard drive that still spins up but has problems with reads and writes; even a click of death hard drive would work for this project. Basically it works by cutting a slit in the platter, then flashing lights behind the platter very quickly. Whatever the color is when the slit passes by is the color that your eyes see. So you can create very interesting radial designs.
As you may have noticed, the title of my blog has changed. It is now named Brian Cullinan’s Blag, for a few reasons. First, I ran out of projects to blog about as I concurrently ran out of time to work on projects. Second, it’s a blag because it lags behind and doesn’t get updated very often. Finally, I have switched over to using the superior Drupal instead of Wordpress, and it felt like it was time for a change.
