Email ends up on road sign
The Welsh is supposed to read as the English does, but it actually reads: “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated”
local authority e-mailed its translation service for the Welsh translation of: “No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only”.
Imagine being the person in charge of sending out the final board.
Network Failure
I was at a client today that told me he had a network problem. When I got to his computer, his network settings looked like this:

That is wrong. I thought I’d tell you how network IP settings work.
The IP adress is like a normal residential address.
The first set of digits (up to 3), Before the first dot, can be the city you are sending a packet to.
The 2nd set of digits (up to 3), before the second dot, can be thought of as the suburb you live in.
The 3rd set of digits, before the third dot, can be thought of as the street you live in.
the 4th set of digits, after the 3rd dot, can be thought of as your street number.
The correct IP address for a given network can look like this. 192.168.1.5 or 10.0.0.2 or 200.200.201.1
so the 192 can be translated into “Cape Town”
168 can be translated into “Tokai”
1 can be translated into “Tokai rd”
and the 5 could be “nr 21″
A computer wont understand a normal address, so it turns it into numbers.
Local Network
On your local network everyone will have the same first 3 sets of digits, the last one will be different. If it is not, there is a problem. It would then mean 2 different computers life in the same address and the packets won’t know where to go.
So your local network is “in the same road” but on different locations.
Later I will explain what the Subnet mask means. The 255.255.255.0
Let me know if you understand what I wrote here. If not, ask and I will try and explain again
1. Network Failure
2. Subnet mask, the way it works
Primary School Fail
I found this on the Failblog and thought I just have to share it.
see more pwn and owned pictures
That was probably a borhters influence.
Fail
I’m pretty sure you have allready seen some of these “fail” pictures. I love them. Some of them are really funny.
I found the Fail site, failblog.org and I love checking out what new picture they have on there.
Go have a look and a good laugh.
