WORK IT

It’s amazing how our brains work. Tonight I was walking down 4th ave here in Vancouver and saw a window display for an artist named Tim Delaney. He apparently is a skateboard photographer and all of a sudden I mistook him for another artist I loved a long time ago and forgot about. I got very excited to see this guy’s work again. I got home and looked him up and realized it was not the same guy.

The person I was remembering did these amazing photo realistic paintings on skateboards and wood. Tim Delaney is a photographer.

However, Dave Delaney is the one I was looking for. What amazes me is I forgot about this person years ago and something clicked when I saw the name tonight and brought the memory of this incredible artwork and the vague recollection of his name.

You can check out the real Dave Delaney and his work @ http://davedelaney.com.

I want a new tattoo according to my wife it’s my turn. Need to save up some scratch and sell off somethings.

I think I finally get it thanks to this blog http://www.theblog.ca/convert-ip-binary.

I have been trying to figure out how to convert an ip address to binary or visa versa and how that applies to subnetting.

If you have an ip address of 192.168.100.1 it translates to 11000000.10101000.01100100.00000001.

There are 8 positions, 0 is a closed position and 1 is an open position. It’s read from right to left (128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 1) and all you have to do is add all the open positions to make your ip address.

This is it, this makes total sense to me. All the CCNA books I have read have poorly communicated this and all it took was this 4 paragraph posts to get it. Three cheers for Peter and his useful crap!

I woke up today semi convinced and excited it was Friday. As I started running through the week in my head some doubt started to set in and I realized it was only Thursday. Bummer. At least it give me one more potential day to plan what we are going to do this weekend. It’s looking like a trip to Sunshine Coast http://www.sunshinecoastcanada.com/.
