Is what you say the best way to pull cable through
drywall? I'm going home for the summer and want
to wire my house (a little nicer than the blue
cable dangling from residence rooms here:). It's
about 15 years old and there's only one unfinished
room with easy access to behind drywall. I was
thinking I could drop some cables down from the
places I wanted to have connections and put my hub and server there. What's the best way to get the cables down there? (it's in the basement of a split level home with desired connection points one (actually 1/2 I guess) and 2 (or 1 full) floors above.
I personally/love/ computer history but I find there's a real lack of courses (at least at the University of Toronto where I go) in this subject. I'm taking a course on the history of science this coming term and the syllabus mentions computer and Internet history (both in the same lecture - the last one) but judging from the description, I can imagine it's stuff everybody already knows (ie. stuff from popular media). Are there any places that have really good courses in this subject? I might consider correspondence if the course it decent.
