CSMN601

This is my Weekly Blog for CSMN601. To reinforce concepts learnt in this course, this weekly blog posting will contain reflections on experiences during the week. I will be using this as a personal journal containing items such as comments on the course and its requirements, linkages between the course material and everyday activities, and general outlook on future.

Session 3


This week, I have completed all my assignment before time. I know what to expect and how much time I need to give myself for this couse per week.

The VOIP topic is really interesting and I love any discussion realted to VOIP as I have spent lot of my time in VOIP related projects. Also I like to discussion on IPv6. I am still waiting to read all the post/comments from the rest of the class and I am looking forward to it. Creative work next generation telecom device is awesome. Made me really think on what I need and want to see in future.

Overall a very productive week.

Session 2


This week went really smoothly and I have settled with the flow for this semester :)

I really liked mini project diary entry for preparing a fictional diary entry for a day 10 years from now and describing my typical day with references to information technologies which a project will be common a decade from now. It was interesting to read all the post related to it. Also I liked the discussion topic about computer improving/reducing productivity in particular.

I am looking forward to start working on the group project.

Overall it was a very productive week and who says studies are NOT FUN ? I am really having FUN in this class. Many of my colleagues at work have commented why do I need MS for ???

Would like to go for the mist ride below the fall (guess which ?), it was awesome !!!

Session 1


The week was pretty slow for me. I had put lot of time reading and researching but it was not as productive as it generally is :( I guess it is just the 1st week of the the semester.

I did prepare my course folder and schedule calendar for both the course I am taking this semester. This will help me in scheduling my assignment due date so that I will not miss anything.

I am really happy to see that Leslie has given 3 topics to choose from for the conferences. That gives variety and all the students are not repeating the same point again and again in the post. In my previous semester, the Prof. gave only 1 topic and with 20 students it was difficult to come up with that many different point of view or points.

This is the 1st time I am involved in an online group project. I am looking forward to it but at the same time I am a bit nervous about it.

I love orchid ;) And here is a picture for all.
