I also have a roommate, Jason Stevens, that has a multi-site domain: his network at home and his network in our apartment. I've learned a lot of my computer networking skills from him. One such thing is creating a trust between our two domains, so that login credentials work regardless of whose network we are connected to.

The courses in [[ECE]] didn't help with preparing for this challenge, as they were never networking oriented. I gained some of my knowledge working as a IT Assistant for the Agricultural Economics Department at Purdue. I've always been a computer savvy person since I've been exploring operating system's settings and programs since I was young. I have the most experience with Windows, but I am also competent using Linux, whether it Ubuntu or Open-SUSE. I have done a some video editing on Mac's, but that's the extent to my knowledge on them. I always return to Windows as my primary operating server, because I have two servers that I operate that run Server 2008. They control the internet for my apartment and Active Directory, and operate as file servers. Networking my apartment with Windows Server has made the task manageable.

Q/A to Sangchun Han

Question: Tell us a bit about yourself.

I became a father five months ago. After that my life was changed significantly in a good direction.

Question:" What kind of background do you have that made you the right person to solve this challenge?

I have my own Java library. In fact, the initial version of the library was written when I had to implement and modify Fountain Codes three years ago while earning master degree in South Korea. I am not a professional programmer. I just program because it is required to write papers. The good news is that I enjoy programming.

Currently, I interested in the social networks. I thought that Rhea is a good solid data to find out the characteristics of the social networks on the Web. In fact, I can notice that the author network of Rhea is a small-world network and there exist several influential authors.

Question:" Did the course you took in ECE help you prepare for this challenge?

ECE 562 (Introduction to Data Management) is helpful. Actually, EE 562 dealt with Oracle. But it is still useful for handling MySQL that Rhea uses. The most useful course is, however, the Graph Theory in Math department.

Question:" When are you graduating and what do you plan to do when you graduate?

I hope to graduate soon but I know that I have to stay here more than two years. The good news is that I now enjoy the life in Purdue. After I earn a doctorate, I will get a job in academia.
