NSWI141 - (Introduction to networking) [lecture] - i have had a few networking classes in high school, so nothing has been new yet, we did the iso osi model, the tcp/ip architecture and were told about nat, also i finally learned the difference between uri and url, essentially url and urn are sub divisions of uri and urn doesn't exist anymore

NSWI120 (Principles of computers) [lecture] - figuring out how to define the start of a communication using a start and end condition, which has a 20% overhead, i've learnt the difference between baudrate and bitrate (baudrate includes the overhead bits, so at 1000 baudrate and 20% overhead there is 800 bits per second) after we went over a different way of synchronisation being having a clock wire, then we went ver clock recovery which is used by usb

the professor who teaches us this class gives out candy bars for when someone asks a question by chucking it at them.. someone in the back asked something but the candy the professor threw didn't fly and hit me, in the front, instead, i picked it up to send it back but by the time i picked it off the floor he threw another one instead.. that one also didn't fly so he threw a third which finally got there, he told the two f us hit by it to keep them, as we won them
