Group Task
GROUP TASK
I meet Chris (a university peer) on skype chat room (Curtin), we exchanged our emails in hotmail, and then logged onto MSN to start conversation. Chris is from Glasgow, and has visited Australia, namely Brisbane and the Gold coast, and enjoyed his time immensely.
He is a hard worker and has to work and study at the same time. Chris and I discussed the pro's and con's of MSN; MSN voice quality is not always good, the camera is slow to process pictures, which may be influenced by the connection line. Moreso, Yahoo messenger is better than MSN in voice and vision quality.
Both Yahoo and MSN has a write board device, enabling one to change the font and the colour. Yahoo also allows you to change the background colour and image, record voice messages and can send files to a person you are speaking with.
Also, you can classify your contacts to groups and make new groups as there is a phone book option to add such contact details (name, alias, phone number).

NEWSGROUPS
NEWSGROUPS
What are Newsgroups?
Newsgroups are discussion forums or bulletin boards - places where individuals post messages for others to read and respond to. They are discussions on a particular subject consisting of written notes by people around the world and redistributed through Usenet, a world-wide network of news discussion groups.
Once a news group is found, messages can be posted or read. Newsgroups are open to anyone who has access to the Internet. Your message potentially could be read by people all over the world. Newsgroups are different from other Internet discussion forums. Unlike chat forum, which demands your immediate attention and requires you to be fairly brief, newsgroups allow you to post and read longer, more thought-out messages at your leisure.
They are different from mailing lists in that you can choose the specific articles you want to read rather than having them all sent to your mailbox and reading all one by one, and one can join newsgroup-style discussion forums at certain Web sites.

What are the pros and cons of email lists versus discussion boards?
What are the pros and cons of email lists versus discussion boards?
- Usually focused one particular topic.
- It has the ability to communicate to many people, regardless of where they are located.
- Ability to use rules for filtering (example's of these, top and bottom posting methods).
- Can be moderated with the ability to remove uncooperative members (for example, specific reply method and Bcc).
- Messages are usually archived on list server for future reference.
Cons:
- Greater volume of traffic (too many people involved in the one message).
- Email can be seen by all members subscribed to list.
- If list server is down no one is able to send or receive emails, i.e. relying on third party for, hence the email device is technologically specific and dependent on reliability of user factor.

Q5
5. How have you organised the folder structure of your email and why?
With every folder created, it allows you more choices to store emails appropriate to each folder. Using the one folder system, you can either action an item or not.
After creating the folder click into the preferences page and find the 'sent items' selection. It is located on the Mailbox Management tab. Simply select the folder you just created and click "Save" or "Apply". Log out and then Log back in.
Using folders help me to:
1-Avoid thinking about where to locate emails should I not have time to read them when received.
2-Convenience of storage and retrieval of emails.
3-Condense numerous emails into more simpler and viewable folders.
4-Quicker to locate old emails sent.
At what point, however, can a folder become an impediment to smart and timely action? Put more generically: how do we not allow the buckets and cubbyholes in our lives to become affordances for procrastination and disorganization?
One way is to understand that the life of information does not end when it goes into whatever you consider “the right place.” Quite the opposite, getting organized just means you’ve glued handles onto the various stuff in your life; you will still need to pick it up and carry it around from time to time.

Q:4
What sort of filters or rules do you have set up, and for what purpose?
I use Junk E-mail Filters (Blocked Senders List); I add to the blocked sender the list of names or emails that I do not want to see.
From junk mail >>>>option>>>>>filters>>>>>>blocked sender
The dialog box will then appear, after that I add the said emails. Messages from this sender are now treated as Junk E-mail.

Q:3
MODULE2
Q:3
In what ways can you ensure that an attachment you send will be easily opened by the receiver?
By checking the compatibility of the receiver's software that enables an attachment to be opened. There are a number of standard and common formats that have been adopted:
txt = Text file, no special formatting
PDF = Acrobat PDF, free viewer available
doc = Microsoft Word document, very common word processing program
xml = new industry standard document format
If one is unsure as to whether the recipient will have the correct software to be able to open the attachment then they will need to be informed of the type of format used and possibly also include a link to a free document viewer for that format.
Q2
MODULE 2
Q2
In what cases would you find it useful to use the 'cc', 'bcc' and reply all functions of email?
Cc stands for "Carbon Copy." BCC means "Blind Carbon Copy". Anyone listed in the Cc means that these individuals will receive a copy of that message when you send it. All other recipients of that message will be able to see that the person you designated as a Cc: recipient has received a copy of the message. To add an entry in the Cc: field, click the "Add CC" link above the To: field.
Bcc means to ‘send a copy to another address but in this case, you do not have to indicate to the recipient that you sent this copy’.
The Cc: field will tell you how others have been able to obtain your email address.
Bcc: can be used to hide email addresses in order to avoid disclosing such information the remaining recipients. That way, when you send a message to a group of friends or colleagues, or forward an email to/ our favorite mailing-list, you can ensure that other peoples’ addresses do not get forwarded across the Internet. You can also use 'bcc' to send one email to a large group of people, without showing all the addresses to everybody.
This is sometimes used on small mailing lists. Note that in most software, if the receiver of an email clicks 'Reply to All' then it will go to all those in the 'To' box and in the 'cc' box, but not to those in the 'bcc' box.
ReplyEmail replies are usually informal, and often brief. You can reply to an email by selecting
r-icon or the "reply" menu item.
This action will perform two useful tasks: it will automatically transfer the person's email address into the "To:" field.The function will also automatically put a copy of the original email in the reply email, with a reply character such as ">" in front of each line (unless your client is configured not to do so). There is some style of replying to messages like:1-Top-posting
This method includes the entire parent message and usually previous messages (as displayed below):
-------- Original Message --------

>> At 11.01am Wednesday, Andaleep wrote:

As illustrated above, bottom-posting requires the following steps: 1- Include original message text in your new email. 2- Do not include original message. 3- Attach original massage Include and indent original massage text. 4- Prefix each line of the original massage.
Specifying a Reply to address an email message will usually include the response to the person who originally sent the email. However, there are scenarios where one may want to have the reply go to an alternate email address. For example, if you are sending out an email on behalf of someone else, you may want to have any replies go directly to the person you are sending out the email for. "Specifying a Reply" To email address is quite easy in ASP.NET.

What information about a user's email,the origin of a message, and the path it took, can you glean from an email message?
Before opening an email I can see who it was sent from, their address, the subject matter, subject and size of the message content.
To view more information (i.e. message in detail), I would right click and choose properties and I will see more detail (as displayed below):

FOR this task I used the WS_FTP programmer, I found it useful and easy to communicate with.
1- I saw two sides, the left side; which is included my computer file and
folder which can be uploaded in the server, and the right side; where it will open the server for me and I can download the files and folder to my computer.
2- I then clicked on the connect button on the top right hand corner, chose 'site manager' and I chose 'create site' I then typed on the Host name (ecall.curtin.edu.au) and I typed 'anonymous' as user name.
3- I was connected to ecall.curtin.edu.au correctly.
4- I found two folders (MSC and Rob), I pressed on the MSC and I found readme.txt, it was the fourth one from the bottom.
5- I clicked on download button and I chose the desktop to download it.

In this task students were asked to find how many hops appeared as a result of our search, the following steps were conducted to achieve this:
1- Download the programme. The programmes are found on these websites: www.pingplotter.com
2- This link takes you directly to the 3d Traceroute
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/3dtraceroute.html
3- I used the two programmes. 3d Traceroute provides bar graphs (which you can rotate, move and zoom, for example) and table graphs. The Pingplotte provides graphs and tables and is able to save results.
4- The links below take you to Network Ping 1.1
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/free/128_s/index1.htm
http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/network/fwtraceroute.html
5- After downloading, I performed a tracing route to "curtain.edu.au", where I found 18 hops (first result), the last hops being Curtin's server and the IP curtin.edu.au address is 134.7.179.53
6- After several traces to"" webct.curtin.edu.au" 134.7.180.156, I found 25 hops (second result).
The difference between the first and second result is that the devise is located in the United
States (for example), therefore the ping will be at its greatest. The most important element noted about tracing routes is that there seems to be a direct relationship between a ping size and the distance between the two devises the ping is being transferred to and from .
