grawk Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 To take it up a notch, you can do tcp too, but it slows down because of the instability of the transport layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yeah, dropped packets and collisions start to become a real problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 To take it up a notch, you can do tcp too, but it slows down because of the instability of the transport layer. Yeah, dropped packets and collisions start to become a real problem. If you are using UDP and have dropped packets then you lose data, which really slows things down as you have to repeat the transfer. Many UDP apps do the checking and retries at that layer, but it tends to be slower than TCP as TCP's checking and retry mechanism has been very well optimized over the last 35 years. If no problems occur in TCP, it's only about 80 instructions to get through the layer. Most of the bulk is handling the very strange errors and conditions that can occur.

Duggeh Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I thought pigeons only did UDP. (Quite possibly the geekiest joke I've ever written.) A biologist walks into a bar and says to the barman: "I'll have a pint of Adenosine triphosphate please." And the barman says: "That'll be ATP."

Fitz Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Looks like the upload completed not long ago. Unfortunately apache is being a bitch about serving files over 2GB over HTTP, so I'm copying a backup of the photo archive to my personal folder, then I'll give the FTP password out.

Fitz Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Correction, just discovered that there is a rar command on the server, so I'm splitting the archive up into smaller sets so it'll show up on HTTP, and people can download pictures or videos first as they like. I'll also leave the extracted contents up, so people can go directly to photos while waiting for the archives to download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanDragon Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Ok, I just realized that I had never really posted impressions. Let's see: Car Rentals from CarRentals.com - killer car rental deal Enterprise Rentals - great service... after a little hiccup they took care of me. 2009 Hyundai Elantra - A decent little car. XM radio, cold A/C, reasonable gas mileage, soft suspension, touchy brakes. Other than being gold, it's something I could recommend for someone who wanted to keep a car for 7-8 years and have a warranty and never care about resale. Well, someone who didn't care about cars, or handling. It handled highway cruising like a champ, though. Atlanta traffic - Not as bad as could have been Fitz - talkative for two hours, not talkative for next 4 hours, good at trying to figure out which intersection we were at when we about ran out of bloody gas in BFE, SC at 1:30am Colin, Jeff, Jim, Ken - Still awake at 3am when we got in Ari - Sleepy Couch @ the pink house - Comfy Waking up after 4 hours of sleep, randomly, then going outside to see the ocean - cool Wifi - awesome. Got in the chat or on AIM and Dan said to come over, so I did. Dan - Has a bunch of kids Pete - ^ Woman across the street who said a bike rally was coming through - :rollseyes: Breakfast - Rocked, day one. Lunch/Supper - Best BBQ Bacon Cheddar burger I've ever had at an Italian/Seafood place on the Atlantic Ocean. Dinny - looks different from his old avatar, which my kids loved. I didn't tell them otherwise, as they would have been disappointed. He loves his large green hat, though. Mike and Al - Damb dirty hippies Vicki - I drove 700 miles to add "gunrunner" to my resume and all I got to do was shoot a full-house custom for the first time? :rollseyes: JP#s- doesn't care for Papa John's "pizza" Deepak - forgot his prescription pad Doug - has a fine taste in scotch that he brings... has awesome tirade skillz, stole outfits from Tyll. Nate, Gene, Todd, Zach, Tyll, JH, BH, Dusty, Steve - Slackers Matt the Younger - The beer-runner to my gun-runner... a good team. Scott - "Late-To-The-Party" Award winner Papa John's pizza delivery guy - jealous Wayne - probably sucked at qualifying Ted Yost - Helluva gun smith Les Baer - knows what a trigger pull is supposed to feel like Justin - needs a larger head and a louder announcement voice Qik.com - awesome. Let me watch my daughter's soccer game live at 9am while sitting on the porch 560 miles away. Britt's Doughnuts - has been covered elsewhere The breakfast place - Day 2, ran out of biscuits just before we got there... on the bloody day that I wanted biscuits. The breakfast place - Day 3, the table from our crew get biscuits, another table of us got biscuits, people who came in AFTER me got biscuits, I go to order and hear, for the second day in a row "we have everything but biscuits". I want to fly off the handle, my new friends laughing at the situation... grrrr. Much ablige to Al, as he so graciously gave me half of his biscuit. It was enjoyed to the full extent of someone who was pissed off about biscuit availability could enjoy. Bathrooms - Much better than in ATL. Atlantic Ocean - owes me a titanium ring, size 12. Mother fucker. Gear- O2 - really good HD800 - still look like they are on backwards Grados - still gradotastic JH13 + pico - FS: Grado HF-1 + HF-2 #39 matching set. Duggeh approved HF-1s. Will throw in 1 set of flats. PM for details/pics. Les Baer Xtreme Tactical 1911 - My old flame. Still as lovely as ever, now with a new friend to court. Ted Yost Signature Grade Heirloom Precision Browning Hi-Power - Sexy. Ok, going a little deeper, it was really great to meet most everyone for the first time. Some people were new to me, even through forum chatter. Some are old friends I just recently got a chance to meet. Colin, for instance, has been a friend via chat channels for 5-6 years now, we figured. I've been talking to Dan about that long as well. It was GREAT to finally meet you two. I once drove 300 miles round trip to have dinner with Vicki. Driving 1200 miles round trip to hang out for a few more hours was easily worth it. After 1000 miles in the car with Fitz, I realized that Atlanta is the work of the Devil, and that he really is passionate about gear and music, as an introvert who really comes out of the shell when the topics arise. I also had a blast at the trip to the range as I got to spend a solid 1.5 hours in a vehicle with Jeff, Al and Colin. Glad I got to get to know them a little better, though there WAS a certain chat of epic proportions which I somehow missed out on. I had 14 months of anticipation for DanJam, and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. Even though I couldn't hear out of my left ear (hearing loss happened 5 hours before I left for DJ, and cleared up about 2 days after I got home... sucks for an audio event, no?), this was easily top-five most enjoyable weekends of my life. There was such a wonderful mix of people it makes me glad I'm a part of this community. Thank you so much for getting this together, Dan. I am still talking about it to people and expect to for a while to come. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 JP#s- doesn't care for Papa John's "pizza" Papa John's was pizza in only the broadest interpretation of the word. Still, late at night bad pizza is better than no pizza. Barely. It was great meeting you Brent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
