Today I taught a class on networking--Service Oriented Architecture, specifically. While discussing with the class, I mentioned that we could use different protocols to communicate between applications.
"You could use TCP which is faster, or you could use HTTP if you don't need that particular performance enhancement."
Pause.
"That didn't come out right at all..."
I was at the local college doing some work while waiting for my wife to finish teaching when I saw my brother who shall not be named just 20 feet away. He had graduated from college, but I could tell he was probably helping some friends study.
Rather than wave at him or directly greet him, I decided to text him.
“What are you doing in the Tanner Building?”
Last year, my wife and I regularly taught a group of 8- and 9-year-old children. Many of these kids had read the book “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” seen the movie, or wanted the book for their birthday.
To better connect with our kids, my wife suggested that we go and see the movie. I, however, was reluctant, and she had to do some serious persuading before I agreed to see it.
