Mr. Roboto

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

Photo-sensor Benchmark

Write an IC program which displays and records the return value from a photo-sensor.

The program should display a single value when the start button is pressed.

We will use this program later in class to get benchmark readings for further coding.

Robot Ideas

I can't believe that this color is still coming out of me.

Take a few minutes and brainstorm ideas for the robot... What should it do? Should it run? walk? roll? breathe fire? have a mullet? follow light? eat mexican food? be a nurse to fix your dying teacher? Detect noxious gas? play the flute? make sandwiches? be zack's girlfriend? fight crime? commit crimes? answer the phone for blahertech's website? what should we make it do?

When I come back tomorrow, I want to see a list of possible roles that the robot can fill.

Spend about 20 minutes brainstorming ideas.


After you've brainstormed, I want you to *try* to ream this academic paper on a maze solving algorithm.

http://www.ee.ualberta.ca/~verret/ee401/micro.pdf

I know that papers are thick reading (especially since I doubt you've had to read them before).

Take your time, I should be back tomorrow.

nMappiness

For your insatiable thirst to explore and master...




First install the newest WinPcap libraries:

http://www.winpcap.org/install/bin/WinPcap_4_0_1.exe

Next install nMap:

http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.20-setup.exe

Finally install DotnMap:

http://www.twinklesoft.com/files/DotNmap_Install.pgm.msi


Make sure that in DotnMap, you configure it to point to the correct folder containing nMap.

To scan a range of IP addresses, use 192.168.1.*

To increase scanning speed in DotNmap, go to the "timing" tab and throttle to "insane"

Happy Hunting!!!

Sample Code Server is Up (I Think)

I made a web server this weekend to cleanly house the source code I have presented in class.

Bookmark this page:
http://howard.endoftheinternet.org/prog2.html

Since it's my own personal server, I can do just about anything with it.
Is there anything specifically that you'd like to see on the new page?
