[06:26] *** anis is now known as anisfarhana [06:26] *** anisfarhana has quit IRC (Changing host) [06:26] *** anisfarhana has joined #arpnetworks [06:30] Hello everyone [07:19] jpalmer: it's indoors for the moment. it's also super directional because of that. too much house on the south and east sides of it, so most of the aircraft are north/west [08:44] anisfarhana: hello [08:44] m0unds: ahh. yeah, 1090Mhz is fairly line of sight. [10:23] jpalmer: I also have a DVB tuner which I have used as an ADS-B receiver. It's not hooked up at the moment, and I want to get a little discone on the roof for it [10:23] So that makes 4 in this channel :) [10:24] phlux: I'm late on responding, but I've been running a jabber server (from arp!) for a handful of weeks [10:25] My region is well covered for ADS-B receivers though, I'm about 30 miles from LHR [10:37] *** pjs has joined #arpnetworks [11:32] plett: nice. didn't realize you were into it too. [11:33] apparently, planespotting is pretty popular among ARPNetworks customers. maybe we should convince garry to put up an ads-b reciever at his location :P [12:38] *** SpeedBus has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [12:48] i've also used ejabberd many times [12:49] i don't care that it is erlang, i just want it to run and work and not be a headache [12:49] to set up [13:29] *** SpeedBus has joined #arpnetworks [13:33] what is planespotting [13:33] is that like trainspotting [14:21] There's an app, and it's the process of watching planes (radar, etc) [14:21] @google planespotting [14:21] 261,000 total results returned for 'planespotting', here's 3 [14:21] Aircraft spotting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_spotting) Aircraft spotting or plane spotting is the observation, photographing aircraft, and logging of the registration numbers of aircraft: gliders, powered aircraft, balloons,  ...

[16:32] phlux: sure [16:38] *** treshoem2 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [16:43] phlux: secrets don't make friends. I'm now officially offended, and stuff. [16:43] *** treshoem2 has joined #arpnetworks [16:44] *** goodwill has left "+++ OK ATH OK" [16:50] we're trying to figure out how to ddos you [16:50] but i'm not going to tell you that! [16:50] it's ok, your secret is safe. I IRC from arpnetworks, so you'd be ddosing yourself too! [16:51] back to the drawing board [16:52] maybe we'll go to up_the_irons's house and ddos him irl [17:40] *** joepie91 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [17:43] *** joepie91 has joined #arpnetworks [20:07] quick poll, and I am actually looking for serious answers. At what age, would you try to teach a kid (who was interested) in "IP" and things related. ie, what subnets are, and what they do (not the math to calculate a subnet) [20:17] starting with something abstract? o.O [20:17] what have you tried teaching so far? [20:18] well, nothing. we're working ona community thing for kids who are interested in technology and computers.. ages 7 - 18 I'm thinking about teaching the networking part, and trying to guage at what ages, such a thing may actually make sense. [20:19] o, so they've already expressed interest [20:19] hmm [20:19] yes, this is something they'd have to actually sign up for, outside of schoole and such. [20:19] it'd be free, but they'd have to sign up, and make arrangements to get there. [20:19] i think it depends on how you teach it [20:20] if you can bring it down from an abstract idea to something they can actively construct themselves and play with, then you can teach it at a younger age [20:20] otherwise, it depends on if they can grasp abstract ideas [20:21] well, some of the ideas are to do things that make sense to them, and make it fun. for instance, explaining what a subnet is used for and such.. then give them activities to reinforce it, and make it fun [20:21] like: explain how a local subnet can allow 2 computers in the same network to communicate with each other. then equate it with multiplayer games.. [20:22] then let them configure the networking on 2 machines, and play a multiplayer game against each other (settings provided, so they don't have to do the math) [20:22] little things like that [20:23] hm, teaching from a practical point of view rather than theoretical then [20:24] well, the curriculum would be voted on by the board. so, it's just a set of ideas I'm thinking of presenting for vote. [20:24] i dont have a good idea and the level of children per age group -.- [20:24] er, skill/educational/whatnot level [20:24] but in the example above.. I'm not sure if a 7 year old would get it. maybe like 10.. (in which case, I have to pick the "multiplayer game" accordingly. [20:55] jpalmer: Personally, I could've used some IP knowledge right around 10 [20:56] actually come to think of it, that's about when I first started fumbling around with tcpip [20:57] I think I was 11 when I bought a "network starter kit" and managed to get it working, almost by sheer luck since I had no idea wtf I was doing [20:58] (I had no idea why these 192.1680.x numbers worked, and things broke if I changed certain things... Man I could've saved myself so much trouble if only I had Google. [21:00] google and wiki [21:01] and no windows [21:01] I can easily imagine a simple introductory curiculum, "computers can talk to each other over various wires and stuff, just like postal mail they have addresses" and start going deeper from there [21:02] brycec: hah. yep that is exactly where I'm intending on starting (talking about the mail, and addresses.) [21:03] postal system is excellent for explaining routing too [21:03] networking prof in first year used that [21:03] It's where I start when explaining basic tenets of networking [21:04] so, we all tend to think around 10'ish is where I target for my presentation to the committee? [21:05] Seems that way. Of course, younger gifted/interests parties are welcome
