Learning Log#2 DNETCOM



Packet Tracer and Slow Internet Connection


This past 2 weeks, we've focused on configuring using the CLI in packet tracer. We were introduced to new codes/commands that are used in configuring routers. We were also taught the step by step process of configuring servers and PCs. We also learned how to ping messages inside our network and send emails. 

At first, it was a bit difficult for me to keep up with the lesson because I could not open the powerpoint presentation file in moodle because my computer inside the lab has a slow internet connection. It's a good thing that Sir Justin displays the current lesson on the board using the projector while he discusses. 

I am also terrible at remembering things. That's why I would usually keep an open copy of the ppt so that I could scroll back for some details that I forgot (for example, the command to enable a password). But once I got the hang of configuring the router, the task was somewhat easier. I find that it is better to understand what you are doing than memorizing what to do step by step. Thanks sir for explaining the lesson well!

12. - Why the Lord Made Cockroaches

During my senior year in high school, I had the opportunity to be taught by an amazing Filipino teacher. He was funny and unconventional. He was Sir Ricky Villanueva. He managed to make reading Dr. Jose Rizal's El Filibusterismo fun for us students, but enough about El Fili. I remember one day in class, he asked us why the Lord made cockroaches.  They were tiny pests that bothered people. Surely there was no reason why the Lord made cockroaches. Minutes ticked by and we had not answered his question. He then gave us a mischievous smile and said that a cockroach has two reasons for its existence. One was that it was an indicator. You would know if a place was dirty when these creatures start showing up. Second, it is an inspiration. Do you notice how much of a fighter cockroaches are? No matter how hard you step on them, they seem to be immortal. Once you think it is dead, it slowly starts crawling away to safety. You have to admire its will to live. I

11. - "A Book Is More Than That"

Image
An American philosopher named Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.". It is a common belief that reading books is a way to expand one's knowledge. I am not saying that this is untrue. I am saying that a book is more than that. A book is more than a tool to absorb information because it is a work of art, it offers an escape from reality and it is a very good tool to motivate. Just like every masterpiece, creating a book takes time. It takes months, maybe even years, to publish a book. A book is a work of art. It contains intricate stanzas and paragraphs. It is appealing. It is beautifully crafted. Have you ever experienced a bad day and just sat down to read a book? It's as if reading a book somehow makes you forget your problems. Reading a book helps you detach yourself from ordinary business and stressful thoughts. It even saves you from boredom. It takes you on an adventure that is
