I finished reading a few more domain name disputes.

A few evenings ago I read an article by Bengsch, Andreas & Kopp, Heiko & Petry, Andre & Tavangarian, Djamshid. Evaluation of a Communication Environment for High-Speed Mobile Wireless LAN Clients in Bohme, Thomas & Heyer, Gerhard & Unger, Herwig eds. Innovative Internet Community Systems: Third International Workshop, IICS 2003 Leipzig, Germany, June 2003 Revised Papers (Berlin, Springer, 2003). This article describes an experiment to test data throughput and quality of transmission for a wireless LAN over various speeds of travel. They do this by placing a laptop computer in a car on a test track and driving at varying speeds and measuring the speed of the LAN transmissions between the laptop and one and two antennas which are technically called hotspots. They also measure and evaluate the effects of passing the signal off as the car passes from one antenna to the next. Each antenna has either a server or a wireless bridge to the other antenna that has the server. This seems like a very basic experimental design no different than a first year physics lab. You can see that this test of 802.11b wireless networking standard is at the cutting edge of capitalist research for telecommincations business. It figures in our lose of roots and thus alienation and also in the production of the global village by producing wireless LAN facts.

I am re-posting this entry for my dad to find with ease:

I am presently in a program requiring honours in Law(1 credit remaining) and Geography (3.5 credits remaining) and a minor in philosophy (3 credits remaining in ethics of technology).

I am considering a philosophy course in the paranormal this summer. Other courses offered this summer that interest me include:

First year sociology has a good schedule. Second year public law might do for my law program. European geography could work in a progam. There are really no math or statistics course for me this summer although I might be a TA in some of these courses this summer. There are some cool business courses but they would only be options in my program. There is a law course in mediation and some law/sociology/social work courses in the criminal justice summer school. There are also a fair amount of good criminology courses in the sociology department offered this summer as well there are a few law and psychology from the criminology program offered this summer. But I am not in the criminology program. But I should have all the required law courses completed for the criminology program at the end of this term. I would still need more sociology and psychology courses if I wanted to complete my BA in this program.

I am reading my LAWS4204 casebook to get a week ahead again. I am reading domain name dispute cases. I will post more about what I am reading later tonight or early tomorrow morning.

I have a lab class tomorrow in using Quicklaw an on-line legal database service for my LAWS3907 course.

I took yesterday off work and am taking today off and tomorrow except for my class.

I am reading some literary theory.

I decided I did not have enough time to commit to the Model NATO event so am not participating. Union volunteering is picking up in two of my unions.

I handed in my paper and started to read Terminal Identity a book about science fiction. I am also researching NATO in particular Norway, a member state. I am also reading about computerised legal decision making for government service delivery. I am also reading about Internet communities. I have another computer science book full of papers about XML borrowed from the library. I also have one of Robert Kitchin's books on cyberspace borrowed. I also have a book on gepgraphy and social justice borrowed.

I worked for 30 hours on a mid-term paper for my ecommerce legal issues course. I completed it tonight. It is due in class tomorrow. I will post it to my computer ethics web site (www.webpagex.org) after it is marked and corrected. I got help with proofreading from a learning specialist in the students with disabilities centre on campus. Yahoo it is done, and I thought I wouldn't be able to do it.

I tired to study at work but it didn't work too well. I read the PIPED Act and saw more sections that concern electronic signatures.

I worked from 12 mid-night to 12 noon on my paper only breaking for meals and helping the newspaper worker. I also broke to read the paper. The last article I read in the paper concerned Louise Arbour's nomination to be Human Rights Commissionaire for the UN.

I won't be able to study much in the way of extra topics for awhile at least until Thursday. Besides needing to get my LAWS4204 paper done by Wednesday I need to mark about 75 mathematics tests by Thursday or Friday.

I now have 8 pages written in my ecommerce paper. I have included the work of three other scholars.

I have 6 solid pages written about studying the Internet and then this essay leads into covering contracts, then digital signatures. I haven't written it yet but the next place this essay will stop is the new Privacy Act 2000. Of course I am getting a chance to write about encryption too in the middle of the paper.

I started a blog at www.schizophrenia.com. and it will be for medical and self help writing.

I am reading the book edited by Maria A. Wimmer ed. Knowledge Managment in Electronic Government 4th IFIP Interntional Working Conference, KMGov 2003 Rhodes, Greece, May 2003 Proceedings (Berlin: Springer, 2003). So far I have read papers in this book by Ronald Leenes Abort or Retry - A Role for Legal Knowledge Based Systems in Electronic Service Delivery? at 60-69 and Gregory Kavadias & Efthimios Tambouris GovML: A Markup Language for Describing Public Services and Life Events at 106-115.

I completed reading Lisa J. Servon, Bridging the Digital Divide, Technology, Community, and Public Policy (Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing, 2002).

I am also reading Leslie David Simon, NetPolicy.com: Public Agenda for a Digital World (Washington, DC: Woodrow Wilson Center, 2000).

I am reading David Hakken, Cyborgs@cyberspace: An Ethnographer Looks at the Future (New York, Routledge, 1999).

I used some school discussion spaces on the net just now.

I didn't get much writing done today. But I did do some Quicklaw research for my paper. I got some of my work related report done. I should try to complete it tonight before sleeping.

I am busy on rewriting the workplan for the Accessibility Advisory Committee today. I am also writing a report for the Eastern Regional Network. I am also writing my mid-term paper for LAWS4204 today.

I gave the tests in MATH1005 and MATH1104. This is test#2 for both courses.

I am working hard on my essay for LAWS4204. I also searched out some journal articles for this paper.

I started assignment #4 in LAWS3907. I was able to find nine journal articles about electronic heath information. I need one more. I may print these articles off and read them in hard copy.

I am done assignment #3 of 5 assignments for LAWS3907. This means 48% of the course has been done. I am not going to withdraw from this course now. I am so far doing great with this course. So I am done assignment #3 at 15:20 and it is due at 19:00 tonight.

I am reading Leslie David Simon, NetPolicy.com: Public Agenda for a Digital World (Washington, DC: The Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2000). I read the preface, chapter one a bit and am just completing reading chapter four tonight about convergence in ecommerce which covers financial services, retail and distribution, and manuafacturing and processing, in three sections in this chapter. There is another section in this chapter on policy considerations. I also read a later chapter on ecommerce last week. I am reading this book for research for my LAWS4204 mid-term paper. I have already read some books for this paper last year and have a few more to read this week.

I read two Supreme Court of Canada cases yesterday for my LAWS3907 assignment #3. This assignment is due tomorrow and I must complete it before going to sleep Monday morning.

I got most of assignment #3 done for LAWS3907. I am scoring A in this course so far. I am reading some Supreme court cases this weekend to complete the assignment.

I wrote about ten pages of my LAWS4204 mid-term paper. It is going well. Citation won't be pretty. I am getting help from the disabled students office and my professor. I am still reading law books for this course.

I got the tests marked and some students picked them up on Friday. We have tests again next week.

I am working in security again. I should do security work over the reading week.

The union is holding a branch election this month.

Another union is having a general meeting this Tuesday.

I am working and studying hard. I transfered to a geography and law degree with a minor in technological ethics. I should be studying propganda as a philosophy course this summer on the ITV TV channel.

I am still three weeks ahead for readings in LAWS4204. I read a Canadian jurisdiction case concerning the Internet where they asserted that a bulletin board is a passive web page that does not enter another jurisdiction. I read some more of Bridging the Digital Divide yesterday.

I worked a little on assignment #3. I am getting assignment #2 back tomorrow. I missed this LAWS3907 class on Monday night for personal family reasons.

I worked as a computer analyst yesterday and did some charts of computer ownership by some non-profits. I used Open Office for this work.

I marked most of the first test in MATH1005. I have one question left to go.

I need to spend more time marking MATH1104.

I continued to read Bridging the Digital Divide, Lisa Servon. I am reading the chapter on training disadvantaged workers. I also read more on US Internet policy and a section in the book NetPolicy.com on Canadian Internet policy.

I think creating a standard directory structure on my workstations is a clear organisational triumph. I did this on my latest workstation.

I have been reading ecommerce law books. Also more general Internet law books like Michael Giest's Internet Law in Canada.

I continue to study addictions and also now good practices for counselling abuse survivors. I shared some studies in mental illlness with fellow ex-patients.

I am also still studying Linux.
