Technical Learning Group 

Held on the fourth Wednesday of the month in the SeniorNet Hall or Learning Centre at 2 pm.  $5 koha please.
A place where members meet and talk about Tech issues and tinker with hardware.
Please come and join us - no enrolment is required - just drop in if you are a financial member of SeniorNet Nelson.
Check the Timetable to see when the next session is on.

Some recent workshops were all about networking:

Here are some links to the workshop material:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network  for networking development from the beginning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite for Internet Protocol development.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireshark is software that enables you to capture network traffic as it flashes past so you can examine it at your leisure.  Mostly we don't need to do that.  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN_Manager  For Windows 8 users, you can see that the system goes back to OS2 days which is almost the beginning of Windows 25 years ago.  Still in use.  Looks a bit different.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable  all about the cables.

 Tech Learning Group Members are encouraged to lead discussion on any problem they have encountered so that jointly we can find a solution.
