Taken from Getting Started With Citrix Presentation Server 4.5.

You publish any given application or content once on the server, but multiple users can simultaneously access the published resources. Application processing on the client is kept to a minimum because the application runs entirely on the server. The ICA protocol sends keystrokes, mouse clicks, and screen updates between the server and the client, so to the user of the client device it appears that the software is running locally.

Because applications run on the server and not on the client device, users can connect from any platform. For example, Microsoft Outlook running as a published application looks and feels the same whether the user is connecting from a Windows CE hand-held computer, a Macintosh desktop, or a Linux workstation. You can control user connections to the server to prevent over-consumption of licenses or server resources.

What’s the main different of Cat 5, Cat 6, Cat 6a, and Cat 6e? It’s using wire that capable of using 100Mhz, 250Mhz, 500Mhz, and 625Mhz frequency, respectively. For details, read these links

Mul-ti-plex [m´ulte pl`eks] n (plural mul-ti-plex-es)
electronic engineering multiple transmission: the simultaneous transmission
of two or more signals along one communications channel

(Microsoft Encarta Reference Library, 2004) [3].

‘Multiplexers (MUXs) act as both concentrators and contention devices to allow multiple, relatively low-speed terminal devices to share a single, highcapacity circuit (physical path) between two points in a network. ‘ (Horak 1996) [2]. Multiplexing is sending multiple signals or streams of information on a carrier at the same time in the form of a single, complex signal and then recovering the separate signals at the receiving end. (Whatis.com 2004) [4].

MUX exists in both end-point. At one point, it combines several circuits, usually a set of four or multiples of four into one high-capacity circuit and the other end-point is to split them back into several circuits. By putting the wire all together in a single high-capacity line, multiple communications can now be achieved. Multiplexing can be implemented in current transmission media such as twisted pair, coaxial, fiber optic cables, microwave, satellite and radio systems.

The main advantage to use multiplexing is for economic reason. (Horak 1996) [2]. Imagine that without using multiplexer shown in Figure 1, each computer will need its own dedicated physical connection which can cost more rather than combining several circuit into one.

Multiplexing works in a such way that the hosts will not experience what is happening in between. It is MUX job to craft the electric signal and put it into one high-capacity circuit. On another end, other MUX will examine the signal and forward it to a designated host.

As the technology of transmission medium is constanly advancing time to achieve faster delivery and bigger amount of data that can be carried, Multiplexing evolves as well to take advantages of newer technology.

Nowadays, there are several methods to carry data in a multiplexed environment. This article will describe the varieties of multiplexing technology based on a chronological order. These methods are Frequency Division Multiplexing, Time Division Multiplexing, and Statistical Division Multiplexing.

My Thinkpad T41 (3273-1FA) does not come with serial port. Indeed IBM choose to use DB25 parallel rather than DB25 Serial. It took me 2 days just to figure out why my RJ45-DB25 connection is not working. Again, it is not a serial DB25!

I’ll make this short!

To export your Opml file from Sage RSS (Mozilla Firefox) reader to Kinja, make sure you change the xmlUrl to URL on the opml file produced by Sage. On VIM you can use command :%s/xmlUrl/URL.

And give enough time (I mean really enough time!) for Kinja to digest.

BTW, this is my Kinja digest. Have phun!

We all learned that we use modem to modulate and demodulate the digital signal from computer to analog signal so it can be transmitted through Telco (Telephone Company) lines. Well, this is not exactly true.
