oops?

yah i din blog yesterday. so i'll just do it earlier today.

was basically procrastinating on my assignment due on thurs last night and was setting up my other laptop to run winxp and stuff. and i was fiddling abit of my irc script. fat lot of good that would do...

yes i'm worried about the assignment. primarily because i've got not much clue on how to get it started. lets see the topic. who knows, i might end up doing the whole essay on my blog hahaha...

Standards are an extremely important issue for the telecommunications
industry, in order to demonstrate your understanding of the nature and
importance of standards, discuss the following issues.
  • Discuss the history of standards and controlling international standards
    bodies, including a synopsis on the RFC ( Request for Comment) methods for
    moving the standard forward via the RFC process.
  • Discuss how standards affect strategic planning.

hehe... comments anyone? i am going to die so badly *whine* and i have to make references to books and this and that! -sob- i don't think most people will be interested in the next bunch of rantings. so you can skip the next paragraph unless you wish to take a bit of history lesson.

i only found out that the RFC method came about when the Network Working Group aka NWG was formed in 1969 to keep in check the stability of the communication protocols. this guy Steve Crocker took the minutes for their first meeting. the document was subsequently distributed as a Request For Comments. the title was phrased in that docile way to indicate it not being authoritative and final. blahblahblah... this came from a few books i borrowed.

argh back to work...

*PANIC STATIONS!!!*
