existential type test

 

hello my name  is Lysa. Never going  give you up never going to let you down. Never going to turn around and dessert you? I don’t know the rest of the song only the chorus lyrics and i don’t even know that well  and  also i don’t know how to spell words correctly thanks to autocorrect making me not having to memorise correct spelling or  grammar. I just realised i spelt “gonna” once and used going the rest of the verse so i changed it now for consistency and now I'm thinking up new words to type to test how well i can type … technological advancements make it more difficult for me to learn AND retain information in my mind/notepad because i can simply “save for later” and rewatch/re-read again… and if i get curious i can use  google or bing or youtube to learn but i don’t feel  like I've really learned anything because i haven’t actually done that very thing myself, I'm just waiting for my time to shine, and i worry when exactly my time to  shine is and  who’s calling  me out there for a challenge fit for Lysa [MIDDLE NAME REACTED] Ali… and until then I'm just looking up trivial facts  for the sake of “learning something new” and  by that i mean I'm “learning for the sake of learning” and not “learning for  a specific job that i want or need to  do…”

i cannot believe i did a type test after a  existential thought about keyboards and technological advancements from  a  mini video. the internet has indeed ruined me and i wish i could either disconnect more,  or find  healthy solutions that make  me feel  empowered again.

for the  record: i type APPARENTLY like a T-Rex but that's only because I get OCD about spelling.
IDAFF about grammar about capital letter any more, and YES I've seen that "uncle Jack" meme which is why i use capital letter for nouns, pronouns and acronyms AND FOR EMPHASIS. because i figured out how i talk  from writing these blogs  and realised that context is more important than The Rules.

i haven't CHOSEN to  use Times New Roman for  a long time. I've been using  Calibri because it's the new  default, but Arial  is  decent  too, maybe even better if you like BIGGER characters. before Calibri  I've been  using  Arial  Rounded Bold because  again: BIG LETTERS and BOLDNESS and also because people hate Comic sans and this kinda felt like a loophole. IDK who uses Helvetica. Hipsters, maybe? they like to stand out from the crowd with like-minded  people, but that only forms another type  of  crowd. so why not "chamelonise" yourself and walk in and out crowds  as you like?
oh wait, some people have attachment issues and don't like it when people act like they have their own life  and want to experience new things and meet new people.

the first font i genuinely like was  Microsoft Sans. again: it was BIG. it was BOLD  and it felt like a loophole to not using Times  New  Roman  for class, but since everybody used Comic Sans to match the teacher, and I didn't want to be a sheep, found other fonts that were simple because that's just who I am: not a sheep, but also not too different to  sheep  because I was  too  raised  in a flock. examples  include goats, llamas, alpacas (except not  really because I'm short) cats, dogs and foxes behave similarly and  I  just  vibe with their  thoughts. small  rodents too, just not insects because they die too quickly... and not just because we  squish them.

The Internet is a lot like an airport 👨‍✈️👩‍✈️🧑‍✈️

this is not a new thought I thunk. I've had this thought since Ralph wrecked the internet. 

it all began when I first saw the TCIP model for how devices are connected to the internet and how ALL THAT works.

I tell you, before that day I use to go page after page to understand what the internet is and HOW it works and NOBODY thought about bringing up the TCIP model.

so that day became a core memory for me...

for those of you unfamiliar with the TCIP model.

it a STACK* of 4 layers (although some people use something called the "OS model" which is more detailed, but in a good way.) 

*I say STACK because stacks are a type of data structure that works on a First in, Last out basis.

in the model above (because we're not talking about PHYSICAL objects, so gravity isn't a factor.) the first layer is the Network layer, sometimes called the IP layer. 

and this is where my airport thought comes in! 

these 4 or 7 layers (depending what model you use) 

your device, and all of our devices are all connected to routers, firewalls, gateways, hubs etc and they use information from our device's IP addresses and port numbers to understand what we're doing and to send those packets of information across the internet and back again with new information that we're all looking for. - all within seconds or milliseconds.

—————————————————————————————————

a lot of articles online say the internet is made from all of our interconnected devices and then stop there. which left me feeling unsatisfied.

and people telling me to think of IP or MAC addresses like a home address that IDs our homes.

some people go a step further and say the internet and networks are like buildings and roads with cars. 

and I suppose you can go with a road, railway etc metaphor,

but I vibe with my airport methaphor. I mean internet protocols sound like various airliners! 

and transportation all serve the same purpose so there's no BIG DEAL and "we see what we want to see, when we're ready to see it." ✅☑️✅

I said at the start when "Ralph wrecked the internet" when I saw that movie and Ralph and Venelope were in the internet, I saw what I wanted to see: an airport/railway station with vendors serving Internet protocols. 💻🌐

I don't have anything else to add to this post, so I'm ending things here and idk when I'll write another blog for nobody to read/find. 

Bye for now 👋
