Networking 101

Some people know a lot about computer networking. I know a bit about human networking but very little about computer networking. Since I am writing a story these days and I am naturally curious, this post would be a helpful reference for myself and others. Expect periodic updates!

TTEthernet
The Time-Triggered Ethernet (SAE AS6802) (also known as TTEthernet or TTE) standard defines a fault-tolerant synchronization strategy for building and maintaining synchronized time in Ethernet networks, and outlines mechanisms required for synchronous time-triggered packet switching for critical integrated applications, IMA and integrated modular architectures.

Art - Classical

I like going to art museums but I rarely know what I'm looking at -- who the artist is or the style of art. This is a short post on a number of famous paintings out there for my own benefit and other art aficionados.

Dance At Bougival

Dance at Bougival (French: La Danse à Bougival) is an 1883 work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir currently in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America.It has been described as "one of the museum's most beloved works".

The work depicts two of Renoir's friends, Suzanne Valadon and Paul Lhote. The setting is the French village of Bougival, about 15 km from the center of Paris. Many Impressionists including Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, and Renoir painted scenes there.

Food - Korean

Hooray for Korean food! Delicious and something I need to learn to make in the future. Also, the dishes have such interesting names!

Tteok-bokki

Tteok-bokki (떡볶이; also spelled ddukbokki) or stir-fried rice cakes is a popular Korean food made from small-sized garae-tteok (long, white, cylinder-shaped rice cakes) called tteokmyeon (떡면; "rice cake noodles") or commonly tteok-bokki-tteok (떡볶이 떡; "tteok-bokki rice cakes").

Today, variations also include curry-tteok-bokki, cream sauce-tteok-bokki, jajang-tteok-bokki, seafood-tteok-bokki, galbi-tteok-bokki and so on. Tteok-bokki is commonly purchased and eaten at bunsikjip (snack bars) as well as pojangmacha (street stalls). There are also dedicated restaurants for tteok-bokki, where it is referred to as jeugseog tteok-bokki (impromptu tteok-bokki). It is also a popular home dish, as the rice cakes (garae-tteok) can be purchased in pre-packaged, semi-dehydrated form.

Women Scientists - Completely Underrated and Often Forgotten

Well-behaved women rarely make history. Perhaps that's because we're still teaching history as if we're living in the 1920s. The only woman scientist most people can name from their head is probably just Marie Curie. Yet, there are numerous scientists. Just to give you an idea, the first chemist in the world was a perfume maker in ancient Babylon (1200 BCE) who was a woman. Her name was Tapputi. She was also an overseer at the Royal Palace and worked with another woman researcher whose name unfortunately has been lost.

Women scientists are unfortunately relegated to the bottom heap of known scientists. Here are a couple of scientists who made major contributions and yet no one knows about them. By the way, several of these are not scientists. Can you find who they are?

Judith Love Cohen

Judith Love Cohen (August 16, 1933 – July 25, 2016) was an American aerospace engineer. Cohen worked as an electrical engineer on the Minuteman missile, the science ground station for the Hubble Space Telescope, the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite, and the Apollo Space Program. After her retirement as an engineer, she founded a children's multimedia publishing company, eventually publishing more than 20 titles before her death in 2016. Cohen was the mother of computer scientist and engineer Neil Siegel and actor Jack Black.

Cohen was born into a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Sarah Cohen (née Roisman) and Morris Bernard Cohen. By fifth grade, her classmates were paying her to do their math homework. She was often the only girl in her math classes, and decided she wanted to become a math teacher. By age 19, she was both studying engineering in college, and dancing ballet in the Metropolitan Opera Ballet company in New York.

I am not sure what to think of this. More research needed...
