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.

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:
