Module 1: Traceroute
I feel like I'm in the Matrix, Keanu passing that zip disk through the door for cold hard cash. These tools must have been so cool and underground back in the day.
Ok to the task at hand which is:
- pick a site providing internet location and identity tools. From this site, traceroute to curtin.edu.au.
- with the results show how many 'hops' there are and average round trip time in milliseconds.
- find out the IP address of curtin.edu.au

At the moment I am reading "On the way to the Web" by Michael Banks. Being half way through it and only just emerging from the realms of Atari, Commodore, Usenet, The Source, DELPHI etc I feel very spoiled to be able to execute this task so effortlessly and with so many options.
I guess a Usenet sysop felt pretty cool, but I wouldn't swap. :)
My gratitude to those who went before, paying ridiculous sums for terminals and access, is deep. I am an early adopter and I know the scorn one can feel. However without early adopters there would only be eternal darkness.
Mmmm bit deep, must be time to log off and chill.
