Day 17

1. My IP address is 152.33.60.212. I looked up one of the TV stations in my hometown and it's domain was registered by godaddy.com (http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/charlottesvillenewsplex.tv).

Day 16

1. I was sent yestreen which is a Scottish word meaning "last evening or night."

2. I sent ripostes which means "a fencer's quick return thrust following a parry."

3. It took us 55 minutes to send all of the messages, it took me maybe 5 minutes less to finish.

4. I thought it was easier to send because even if you messed up the message you still sent something. When you were receiving you had to be really careful that you wrote down the right thing.

5. It got difficult when several people were trying to send at once and would try after every person. At times everyone would get into a rhythm and it would work for a few messages but then someone would get off and mess it all up.

6. The process would be a lot easier if you could come up with some sort of pattern that did not result in a loop. If every person was given a number and went in that order it might work better, though some people would be stuck going last every time.

Day 15

1.Addressing - You could use an address (IP address?) to identify each computer and have someway that computers could find each other by their address. I know IP addresses are a series of somewhere around 9-10? numbers, maybe the first couple find a broad group of computers and the later numbers narrow down which exact computer it is.

2. Communication conflicts - You could allot a certain amount of bandwidth per computer or per application depending on how much bandwidth was available and how much was being used. If you could send 400 MB a second, you could allot 100 to amazon, 100 to IM, 100 to e-mailing the letter, and 100 to the radio.
