COMP6021 Cancelled

COMP6021 Media Data Formats will not be offered this semester after all, because too few students were interested in it.

That's a pity. But these are difficult times.

SOFT6007 Feedback

If you took SOFT6007 with me last semester and your dropbox is still shared with me, you will fine a small txt file there with some feedback on Assignment 2. If you want a recording of our meeting just ask. Once you have what you want, please unshare the folder. 

COMP6021 Class 04

We devised a communication scheme for Outpost 17:


The remaining humans have split up into secure outposts. The solar powered lights on the end of town are controlled from inside the perimeter of Outpost 17, but can be seen from watch towers at the other outposts. This system has been used for months now to communicate between outposts using Morse code. Outpost 17 had a computing student from Cork until recently. He explained that Morse code made sense if you had only one light, but it was inefficient when you had more. But he didn't make it through the last attack and now he's either dead or un-dead.  We found his notes. But we don't know what he meant by 23 + 23 = 64. If we could communicate with the other outposts more quickly it would make a huge difference. Maybe you can figure out what he had in mind.

SOFT6008 Feedback in Dropbox

If your dropbox is still shared with me, you will find in it a small text file with some feedback on your assignment 2.

If you would like a copy of the audio recording of our meeting please let me know and I will put that in the dropbox too.

When you have what you want please unshare your folder.

COMP6023 Thursday's DNET/DCOM Lecture canceled

I had connectivity issues so there's no recording. Students who missed the class should see the recording from earlier in the say. And maybe even those who didn't miss it.

COMP6023 Lab 01 ITM

Students set up blogs using blogger.com

Students e-mailed me their blog URLs and set up their Google+ accounts.

COMP6021 Class 01

The sound quality on this recording was very poor. Alas the noise cancellation software didn't work. It seems that hot air and cold air share too many characteristics for the software to separate them.

I talked very briefly about the module and then we looked at the humble mighty bit.

I gave out a handout from CS Unplugged about sending messages using bits. It seems a bit basic but it makes some important points. [Problems with the link. Will fax later]

I love this video on number bases:

COMP6023 Class 01 DWEB/ITM

I talked students through the module descriptor. I had some technical difficulties and some cold related difficulties, so we finished up a bit early.

Audio only

COMP6023 Lab 01 DCOM

Nobody showed up for the labs. But that's fine. I wasn't expecting anyone. We should have no problem catching up. I'm teaching two instances of this module and hope to have the groups synchronized. But sure the bank holidays will probably screw with that plan anyway

COMP6023 Class 01 DNET/DCOM

Today lecture was cancelled. Apologies for the short notice. I had e-mail problems too. I hop enough of you got my text messages in time.
